She is so awesome and I hope to keep her as a real life friend. Now to me, that's what I do it for. That connection that I don't get in my real world.<BR/><BR/>I blog when I can. Sometimes it's days on end that I can't seem to get to my computer. Sometimes I blog twice in one day. I try very hard not to give myself grief over it. I do what I can, when I can. For you... is it too late to bag the 365 thing and only post when you really feel it in your heart?<BR/><BR/>Of course I will miss you. But life passes too quickly to regret not spending time being present in your own world.Hyphen Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129843526632243730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-74430040671035532352008-06-25T00:08:00.000-05:002008-06-25T00:08:00.000-05:00Some great comments here!

My problem is not that I can't find topics to blog about--it's that so many come across my path during the day and I can't remember them when I finally sit down to blog! Dang. I hate getting old. I even make notes sometimes because I constantly carry around paper and pen--otherwise I'm lost without my list. And if I have multiple topics to blog about at end of day? Woo-hoo! Jackpot! I write them all and keep them in draft. When I have that occasional day (like today) when the brain bucket is empty, I just pull up one of the drafts and either post now or set it to post tomorrow.

I've been around almost a year & I see it over and over. People who forget why they started in the first place and lose the them to the blog. I fully understand, my friend. And, I have only eliminated a very few. One who gave me ulcers. One who insulted openly.

Summer is a busy time at our house and I find that the less time I spend blogging, the less time I make for it the next day. <BR/><BR/>I started a photo blog this past week. It allows for a very quick daily post without the need to write, rewrite, and edit one more time for content. Even if I don't get to write every day, I am going to do my best to post a photo every day possible.<BR/><BR/>And yes, SWMBO is very pretty - lucky you.Queen Goobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579192188338877091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-67339751907259694792008-06-24T11:55:00.000-05:002008-06-24T11:55:00.000-05:00innkeeper: I think so, too.

I mainly started blogging for my kids, so they'd know about me and what happened in their lives since I don't scrapbook or keep a diary.<BR/><BR/>It's better now that I don't feel the pressure to put something down everyday. It does get time consuming and I always think of the mom with lots of kids who blogs about three times a day and wonder how much she is neglecting her kids to be able to do it so often.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312731015432167519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-51875925844739986902008-06-24T10:02:00.000-05:002008-06-24T10:02:00.000-05:00I really miss the shit out of blogging and especia...I really miss the shit out of blogging and especially commenting...!

The ...I know how hard it can be sometimes to post. The times I haven't, I've been really down and I just don't want to go through all the whining. It's bad enough doing it in my own head, ya know? But I come back. And I try to do something every day. I think that's why I'm coming up with all these great things in my writing life---I mean, if I can be fairly regular about posting to a blog, then of course I can take the hour that Sesame Street is on and write creatively too. And maybe I can step it up one day to where I'm freelancing, ya know? And then I can start earning money from that. Because I love to write, and I love to research (really, I did this little thing about the creation of the Southern Baptist church for that class I was taking at church, and I sorta over did it even though I only talked about the important question, not all that I got. But I loved doing it, and when everyone said thanks, I said "it's just who I am." I should have said "you're welcome, I enjoyed it," huh?)<BR/><BR/>I doubt I'm one of those you would drop (I would hope not---I do love talking to you and commenting back and forth :-D), but as for if I were to leave---it wouldn't be because of the state of this house :-S because this house would probably look like this either way. I mean, I crochet my little heart out. It's part of who I am. Yeah, under the labels I have for myself, it's like #3---behind being a Christian, and being a mommy and wife, which belong together because I'm not one without the other. :-)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349540757656553214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-57098039113185997252008-06-24T08:41:00.000-05:002008-06-24T08:41:00.000-05:00Please don't desert me.

Then I found something that cracked me up, so I posted.<BR/><BR/>It's been both a real bummer and a valuable exercise to find SOMETHING to write about every day. And as I blogged about yesterday, most days (the large majority of days) I would blog anyway. (This is why I signed up for Blog 365.) But the days that I just don't want to write or HAVE nothing to write about are hard.<BR/><BR/>And I don't kid myself that people come in throngs to read what I've written. Nor will they all disappear if I don't blog for a few days. But I still can't cut the Blog 365 cord.<BR/><BR/>Thankfully, "having" to blog is my worst problem right now. If we could all be so lucky every day.<BR/><BR/>RebeccaRebecca (Ramblings by Reba)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17104664228769032430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-59418254004787384592008-06-23T23:53:00.000-05:002008-06-23T23:53:00.000-05:00And we would miss you if you decided that you were...And we would miss you if you decided that you were "wasting time" by blogging.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I committed to Blog365, missed some days, gave it up as a bad job. However, now I blog daily because I also am a diarist and I know that a few people read my blog and expect something to be there. I look at the mirror effect, that I read others' blogs and am disappointed when they don't post for a while or say they're going to give it up. They've become friends and I miss them.<BR/><BR/>I only learned recently that I should be responding to any comment someone leaves, but sometimes there isn't anything to reply. "Uh, thanks for the comment....?"<BR/><BR/>Just keep posting. We'll keep reading.<BR/><BR/>P.S. You're right. Annie is lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
