I’m taking a break from blogging.
I’m ridiculously behind in my reading, and I’m feeling virtually zapped of any inspiration with my writing. Last night’s post, for example, was frantically written whilst listening to uplifting music… I couldn’t think what to write, so just wrote, and wrote what I wrote. I quite liked the end result, but couldn’t write like that every day!
When things become a struggle, they tend to become a chore. And I don’t really enjoy chores. I like to feel good, and I try to write in a way that hopefully gets that message across – most of the time anyway! I have the tendency to stop doing things that become a chore…
I don’t want to stop blogging, I love it too much. I love interacting with other bloggers throughout our great world. I love reading what everyone has to write, even if sometimes I don’t understand everything. I try to comment where I can, and if time is short, I’ll add a calling card in the form of a like. That’s not to say I click like on every post I read just because I’ve been there, because I only click like when I really like the post. Luckily, I really like lots of posts!
However, I really enjoy writing. I enjoy my daily trips to some random realm or other, and writing about what I see there. Yes, I know sometimes it’s like reading utter nonsense, but that’s what the other realms are for. For escape! This blog is a place of escape! Reality can be left in the real world, although sometimes reality filters through into this blog as well.
Reality has filtered through right now alright. My brain cell is exhausted by overuse and undertime. It gathered its thought and said “Woah! Take time out! There’s years ahead – not everything needs to be written right now!”
I stopped, listened to my brain cell, and thought it a very good idea. Take a rest.
So that’s what I’m doing.
I’ll be back from the First of June, so I’ve given myself two weeks to recharge my batteries and reinvigorate my brain cell – and maybe add another couple while I’m at it. The downside of this holiday, means I’ll be so out of touch with all blogs I follow I’ll probably never catch up, so I’ll start my blog reading afresh from the beginning of June as well. I’ll probably be on the blog a few days before then to dispose of the spam comments which seem to be coming in thicker and faster than ever before, so may start reading / posting earlier than planned at present – we’ll see.
Thanks to everyone who visits my blog, and reads, likes and/or leaves a comment – I really appreciate each and every one of you taking time out of your busy lives to call by my random corner of nonsense.
I’ll see you in two weeks! Feel good now!
