what blog?

Posted in hard stuff and tagged with , , on 07/26/2010 05:15 pm by Becca

Life? Crazy. Work? Totally nuts. House hunting? Frustrating. Blog? Not even on the list.

So busy. Can’t really even form sentences. Summer is that time for me when it’s like, I want to do everything that I can, but also work is so totally nuts that sitting down to log it all is basically the last thing on my mind.

SO! MANY! THINGS!

I read this post on holding yourself accountable, and I really took it to heart. And then I still didn’t post for months. I am so upset with myself. I am not holding myself accountable in so many places. I feel lost in the busy-ness and the stress.

But this blog is important to me. Becoming a better writer is important to me. Being here, showing up, living life and holding myself accountable for my own damn life. It’s important to me.

STRESS.

  • Thanks for the homage to geekdom! best. tag. evar!
  • A few other blogging friends have linked to my accountability post (one I thought about long and hard before posting...) reflecting similar views and sentiments are you did.

    I always say, do not feel bad. Write when you want to, if you can, if it's relevant, important and makes you happy. Life (without a doubt) gets in the way. No one can deny that. Somehow, I've folded it into my life and held myself accountable but there will be times when I just won't be able to do it, to post with regularity and produce content that is quality. Life is so oscillating, so is blogging, naturally :)

    Don't be stressed :) Like Doni said, maybe you can do a posting project or editorial calendar to help get you swinging?
  • Thank you so much for the support, Grace!

    It's definitely a roller coaster. As someone who has been calling myself a writer for far longer than the life of this blog, I definitely want to make it a priority - for the growth of myself as a person, and as a professional.

    Big hugs for the continued advice and support through your own blog <3
  • What Liz said :) Hold yourself accountable, but do so in a way that keeps the joy for you - don't "pressure" yourself. Maybe you need a Project 365 for blogging, even if it's a sentence or a photo or something? Ha, I don't know... I don't encourage "posting just to post," but there's something to be said for consistent practice :) Either way, I'll show up everytime you do!
  • Thank you Doni! You're such an inspiration to me, I hope you know. Posting just to post is definitely not where I want to be, but I do think that forcing myself to write, just for myself is going to be important in this challenge.

    Don't stress! We're here when you're ready to come back :)

    But the truth is, I NEED to stress. I'm not saying it's productive or healthy to do so, but it's the fire that makes me go.

    I also feel like I NEED to write. Yes, I want to be accountable to my 6 readers, but mostly I want to be accountable for myself. In every aspect of my life. We'll see ... but thank you for being here :)
