As the weeks pass me by I find myself frustrated yet again, because I'm not writing anything here. I can't even say why I am frustrated. It's just a blog, right? So I could just write something every now and then and be okay with it. Right???
But the truth is, it just doesn't work like that. Blogging is a lot more than just writing a post here and there for yourself. Might as well just write stuff into your diary. Blogging is about the community. You blog, people read you, they comment, you comment back, you read other people's blogs, you comment there. And that's where the problem is... I don't have time for that. I have a family, two children, I homeschool, I wrote a book (which I'm ready to self-publish in about a week!), I do a lot of reading about the paleo lifestyle, I run... Oh, and there's this thing called my household, and it's NOT pretty, let me tell ya.
So technically I could just quit my blog and go on with my life. But why then can't I seem to get myself to do that? And why can't I find a purpose for this blog? My friend Shady Lady, for instance, she has given her blog a purpose. She posts about unschooling, and it's good.
What do I want to write about? I just don't know.
Yes, I realize this is a great problem to have. Yes, yes, I'm not starving, I have a great life... get a grip already, right? I am so pathetic... ;-)
Write about your paleo lifestyle, please :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Patzi. You have a passion for Paleo. You do a lot of research and you're living this amazing lifestyle. Share it with the world. You just might influence/help someone to heal or attain their goals. Do it, Freckles!
ReplyDeleteAnd you really think my blog is good? Really? *blush* Thank you! Coming from you, that means a lot!!!
If it fulfills a need in you to write here, then do it, who cares how often? Or how many followers or commenters you have.
ReplyDeleteI know I am always happy to see a post from you pop up in Reader, no matter how long it's been - you always have something interesting to say!
(And personally, I'd rather have an occasional thoughtful post than a daily "I must say something because I identify as a blogger post".)
I'm curious about your paleo lifestyle, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be really interested in some examples of meals and snacks you and your family eat for Paleo. Especially any that surprised you by how good they were or easy to prepare.
ReplyDeleteThat is if you have time now that you're a published author. ;)
