Taking charge

February 8, 2008

I have read so often about burning out and such, and I never thought it could happen to me. But it’s very easy to get sucked in.

I let the move influence my blogging. I found that, instead of blogging I was finding other things to do. I was getting distracted too much by my life.

No, I will not look for excuses. I just didn;t keep my promise to myself to keep blogging no matter what. So now, I’m taking charge again.

Waking up

Two weeks ago I was explaining the power of blogging to a friend. As usual, I opened Darren Rowse’s Problogger website. We were greeted by “A Reality Check about Blogging for Money“. That article really got my attention. I went back and read it a couple of times.

This article made me realize that this blogging thing was not an easy job. I was seriously starting to think about what I want to achieve with my blogs. I decided that quitting is not worth the effort I’ve put into my blogs. I am going to pick up blogging again.

Awake… now what?

It took me 2 weeks before I started writing again. All this time I’ve been thinking of what I have to go through again. My blog traffic went from 1000+ visitors daily to 50. I would have to start again on building a network. I would have to make a schedule. I would have to … The list of things that kept me back was constantly growing. Then, last night, I decided to just break lose and just start writing.

Nature has a strange way of doing things. As I was trying to find Darrens previously mentioned post I stumble upon “Blogging Fatigue - 8 Tips to Get Over Your Blogging Blues“. Yet another amazing article! Just what I needed right now.

My first goal is to try to follow this advise to get back on track.

Please feel free to share your thought on this matter. It may help my drive to hear some motivating comments.
