I have been posting a lot more blogs for the past several months, almost every day of the week but Sundays and I have to say, it's draining me. I should have started off slow and simply added things as I came to them, but now I'm seeing that sometimes I just don't have it in me to write a blog for each day, so if you start to notice a slight decrease in my blog posts, it's due to the fact that I've become overwhelmed by trying to write so many blogs and honestly, my creative juices feel like they've been used up on blogs rather than actual writing,....
So....
I'm going to take a step back and reassess. I'll still have Tuesdays with Taryn, Fun Feature Friday and SCENTsational Saturdays up every week, but Memory Lane Mondays, WIPlash Wednesdays and my Free-for-All or Favorite Book Thursdays and when I'm visiting other blogs will appear only when I'm feeling up to posting or when I actually feel I have something to say that isn't stealing my creativity away from what I really need to be doing and that is writing.
Last week I only added just under 1,400 words to the WIP so I'm going to see if I can knock out more than that by allowing myself to be "okay" with not having a post daily unless I'm feeling up to writing and sharing more. All of life is a delicate balancing act and with my husband's work schedule changing recently as well, I'm finding it's time to figure out how to schedule around everything. I love blogging, but if I hope to publish more books, I need to actually write those manuscripts and concentrate on that whenever possible.
I hope you'll join me on the days I do post and chat with me, leave comments or just say hello. I'd love the company.
Now I need to so see what I can do about filling up my writer's creativity inkwell.
Happy Hump Day!
I can see the weekend from here.

We all need breaks sometimes -- especially when we work with creativity. Don't worry about taking one!

Thanks Hallee. I think it boiled down to giving myself permission to say, too much blogging isn't a good thing when it spoils the creativity I could be focusing elsewhere.
Taryn, I understand this all too well. I'll miss you and hope you get the creative well refilled very soon. Don't stay gone too long. :)
Oh, I'll still be posting, just not as much as I have been. Keeping my blog active is great, just not when it steals precious time and energy. ;)
