It only took several months, but I finally got my joy for blogging back!
I am getting so much better at blogging and I think it has a lot to do with how I am doing it. Every single post that you see is scheduled. It may just be scheduled for the next morning, but I start writing posts as they come to my mind at night and get what I can done on it. Sometimes this means I get the whole post done, and sometimes just part of it. Just from doing this for the last couple of days, I have several posts written or started. I saw a friend say before that she has several posts started and I realized that I don't have to write the whole post at once. Why not start it, and come back later? I am doing this with a few posts now and I am actually loving it!
It makes me so happy to know that my blog isn't sitting here without posts for weeks at a time right now, I mean I am a blog designer! How can I do that and not enjoy my personal blog, right?
Well Momma Bear is back an maybe even more talkative than ever! I have a new fresh design and I am loving it. I have that new little list of blogs that I like to read (it slowly keeps growing as I remember more and more blogs that I have missed reading) and I am loving that because I can go straight to my blog and read the new posts from there. I'm feeling a little less overwhelmed and I feel like I am finally connecting with some of my blogging friends again! Something that I have been neglecting lately is my Twitter. I kind of miss it, but don't miss feeling like if I am gone for five seconds I have missed something. I think I need to find a balance of how I am now and how I used to be.
I also wanted to say a huge "HELLO!" to all of my new followers. I came back from my little hiatus to a few new people in that little followers gadget. Make sure you say hello, because that's what following is all about! I love getting to know my reader. A lot of times it turns into great friendships!
So, I think it's official. My blogging funk is over! I am back and so is my passion. Thank you all for sticking around!
