Random Thoughts: Going on a Blog Holiday until the 28th July

Posted July 18, 2016 by Charlotte in Random Thoughts / 2 Comments

So I’ve run out of posts to write. Ok not to write I just haven’t written any posts in a while. And I think that the lack of posts last week says it all. So I decided rather than stressing. I’m just going take a blog holiday until the 28th July (when I have a promised post for a publisher to go up) and hopefully in August I will have posts scheduled left, right and centre and just feeling more prepared. Blogging for me has become hard recently I started a new job which is a proper full-time job, so I have less time for blogging and my job is an hour and a half away from where I live. So I’m a bit knackered at the end of the day to turn the computer on and type. This is why I’ve said enough. My blog is my hobby not my job and however much I want it, no matter how much I try until I get ahead I’ll always be struggling and losing faith in blogging. Because blogging is becoming […]
