Hey there! Been having my own slump. Don't feel like posting, don't have time to be reading other blogs, blog blahs happen to us all, sooner or later. I always wondered if I could even keep doing it, I'm not a natural writer... writing has always been hard for me. But I need the accountability. Makes for boring read most of the time though! I really admire people who can keep the ideas coming! It's quite a job! Cynthias last blog post..30 Day Challenge - Day 1

That’s part of the problem with trying to diet and exercise while blogging at the same time. Maybe if I didn’t have to work and keep up a house and family I could do it, but the real world gets in the way. Not enough time to do everything you want to do!

Thanks Mike – I like the dry analogy. I’ll definitely swing over and check out your site. Thanks!

Man i know what you mean. As they say when it rains pours, but that also means when its dry its dry. For my own blog I get into dry spells as well. I have a site that you and your readers might enjoy. Its called peoplesmd.com. You can find and share all kinds of health information, there is a lot there already on health and fitness. Browsing bookmarks and seeing new ideas is a great way to get some inspiration. Keep up the good work!

@JeanAnnVK: Thank you so much for dropping by, and the advice. I have been reading PortlandFoodie for a little while now (found it through your profile on Twitter I believe), and I really love your writing style. I think numbers 1 and 2 in your advice are where I really need to focus. I do pretty well with 3 and 4. Great list – I am sure I will be referring back to it!

@Christine: Hi there Christine! Thank you so much for your kind words. It always brightens my day when you stop by and leave a thought. Thanks!

The HFCS articles were great . Hope that makes you feel a bit better. My blog is just a hobby so…no pressure for me. I would guess that any serious writer would go through what you are though.

Hi there, and thanks for stopping by my blog! I have three blogs and write lots more professionally…here’s what I know about how I deal with it:

1) I decide how many posts I can reasonably post each week, and I stick to that (2 of mine are 2-3 times per week and one is 2 times) this takes off some of the pressure

2) I create blocks of time and write several posts at once, using the scheduling feature on my blog platform to set the dates for getting them up in the public eye

3) sometimes i can’t get to comments…this summer, i went 2 months without answering comments (sorry!), but that’s life…I do the best I can

4) Do what is right for you and do it consistently…if you are true to yourself, you can’t fail!

Warmly,
Jean Ann
