Thank you for your lovely comment. I agree about it being a fantastic way to exchange ideas etc.

I could not imagine giving up blogging now – but know it probably wont be forever. The internet seems to revolve and change (I used to run a forum). Blogging for me has been the nicest way of internet exchange though – for many of the reasons you have mentioned.

Great post.

[…] There seem to have been quite a few people falling out of love with blogging recently, but this fab post from Molly at Mother’s Always Right provides a great summary of why it’s worth keeping your blog going, even if you need to take the […]

I don’t think I’ve ever thought about giving up, but I have definitely consciously changed what I write about over the years and now expanded to a second blog about running which I’m massively in love with again.
I do love writing though which still surprises me having been a maths and science person all through school.

Like most of the others who’ve commented I feel exactly the same, and quite often.

It’s reassuring to read posts like this and the comments that follow.

Twitter is my saviour. Every time I lose my enthusiasm I stick to 140 characters for a couple of weeks and just enjoy reading others posts until the urge returns.

Oh goodness, this rings true. I stepped back a while ago, regrouped and focused on the bits of blogging I love and limited myself in terms of time spent. I am back to blogging happily for me and that lifts my heart. Yours is one of the blogs I have loved most over the last 3 years, I’m glad you seem to be reaching the same sort of point. * raises glass*

I’ve only been blogging for 6 months and I’ve had moments where it feels as though I write but nobody reads it! That sometimes makes me wonder why I carry on. But then I have other days where it surprises me that I have so many visitors without me having to do very much to get them. Then I’m inspired to carry on

I agree (and see that all the other commenters do too!) and I kind if think maybe the wobbles are part of it. There is always someone doing something bigger and better and I definitely think I have moments want to just shut off from the whole thing. But I always come back back to it, I feel like blogging has got under my skin now and I couldn’t really stop even if I wanted to. The writing, the creativity, the voice it gives you are kind of addictive I think. And I think ultimately, for me, I still stick by all the reasons that I started in the first place.
I’m glad you talked yourself down off the edge. I think as long as the good outweighs the bad then you’re onto a winner. x
