Why do you blog?
I love the blogging community and all the blogging friends I have made. I love to write and want to become an author. Blogging seemed a good way to get my work and name out to others. Little did I realize, that blogging would take over my world.
I’m no longer able to visit all the blogs I follow, but I try to visit all of them at least once a week. My email inbox stays full and I don’t know if I will ever get caught up with it, (if you have sent me an email and I haven’t replied to it, let me know, and I will search it out). I’m finding that I’m having to quit blogging on some of the things I was blogging on. I felt they were going nowhere and just a waste of my time.
I am a writer, first and foremost. I enjoy art and color, but have no talent in that area. I thoroughly enjoy, ‘Share Your World’ and ‘Awards’ as they help me get to know others and lets them get to know me. I enjoy ‘Daily Prompts’ and rarasaur’s ‘For the Promptless’. They give me something to write about and teach me something new.
I would dearly love to be able to write more ‘B4Peace’, ‘Happy Note’, and ‘Project FireStarter’ articles. I would also like to expand my ‘Aromatherapy’ articles. There are other writing prompts that I would like to investigate; Trifecta, etc…
Right now, I’m participating in the ‘A to Z April Blogging Challenge’ and it is keeping me busy, but I’m networking and making friends, so I want to continue with this. I’m determined to see it through to the end.
Then, I will sit back, look around, and make some changes in May.
I hear ya, im not a blogger but I am a bloggant( someone who loves to read blogs, lol) If I were you, I’d do what I enjoy, if its writing a book for example, thriller, action, romace or self help then follow that dream. & where friends are free to friend me on facebook at

I too am a writer in the making. I started for numerous reasons but have also found the need to tweak some things so it fits with my life not taking on a life of its own. I am still learning the ropes but I think ‘managing’ everything is a common feeling amongst writers on WP.

I understand where you are coming from with about blogging taking over your world! Although, I must confess mine is self-imposed since I use mine for my therapy! lol But keeping up with everyone is growing increasingly difficult. If you discover the secret to doing it “all” on WP please clue me in!!

Blogging can certainly ‘take over’, as I found out when I started this. Back then I thought updating every two days would be a reasonable goal. Not so. Now I’ve settled into once or maybe twice a week to post but I do still try to browse through my reader every couple of days.

That may be something that I will have to try. Thanks for the suggestion. ๐
