On blogging

So blogging. Yeah. I'm the first to admit I've fallen off the wagon. It's been a strange progression for me. I used to spend hours, sometimes full days, reading and commenting and planning posts. And I loved it. But it took a lot. More than I had. It took writing time (of which I had precious little), and I finally came to the realization that I needed to really focus on my craft.

Should doing so have meant I completely abandoned the blog? No. But I did. I felt guilty at first, but then I just pushed all that crap aside. Because really, there's enough to worry about. You know?

The one thing I've come to realize is that I miss this. I miss being here on a regular basis. I miss connecting with people, with other writers. I've made some amazing friends through blogging. Amazing.

I used to feel such pressure to come up with meaningful/insightful/funny posts. But you know what? I'm over the pressure. hahaha

It all boils down to this:
I'm back.
Only different.
I'm just going to say what I want to say. Whatever's on my mind. It might relate to writing. It might not. It'll just be me blabbing on about whatever. I'm kind of loving the idea, and I think that's what blogging's all about. Finding your voice and sharing it.

Love.
