It is hard to believe that in two short weeks this little ol' blog of mine will have been around for an entire year. It started out as a something else entirely and morphed into a place where I met great people, shared bits and pieces of my life, and most of all as a place where I could slowly try and define my design style.
When I began this journey I told myself I would do it for 1 year and now that the deadline is slowly approaching I am not sure that I am ready to give it up.
Confession time: I often feel like a terrible blogger. I do not post as much as I would like and it bothers me, honestly. There are days when I have thousands of ideas and just not enough time and then there are the other days where I have all the time in the world and nothing seems to be working how I envisioned it. I don't want to post something that I don't love, and being a perfectionist often gets in my way more than it should. Also I am terrible about writing ideas down, Z keeps telling me that's why people have sketchbooks to keep track of those type of things for the days where staring blankly into space is about as creative as it gets, but that is a whole other issue entirely. You my friends have stuck around through all this and I greatly appreciate it. I look forward to the process, to sharing ideas and getting feedback, and as an extremely private person it has been nice to open up and share my happy little family with you all. If I were to stop now I would miss it dearly.
So that's where I am - still trying to figure it out.
Blogging is extremely time consuming. Some days I can't wait to share lots of things and other days I struggle with writing anything at all. How about just once a week? or take Sept off and see if you really miss it. I'll miss you if you end but you could always do a post for Spiral Style.

You are so right in that it is time consuming and I don't want to ever force a post. I truly do love blogging and I have met so many wonderful people, like you, that I couldn't imagine not doing it. I think if I developed a schedule for myself that would be a problem solver:)
ReplyDeleteKeep figuring chickie, we aren't going anywhere!
ReplyDeleteSo I have to say that I never think of you as a bad blogger. With RSS feeds, I think there is SO much room for people to post only when inspired to -- and I love that your blog never feels forced. (Then again, I totally get how much labor and sweat goes on behind the scenes to make it look like it was any work at all.)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing another side of you, even if it is only every now and then. I'd rather have some than none at all.
ReplyDeleteI would be sad to stop reading your posts. I love it when you appear in my reader ... your posts and incredibly thoughtful and always inspiring. But I do understand why you're torn ... blogging is time consuming!
ReplyDeleteThanks all!! You guys rock and I am so happy you all understand. I can tell you that getting that out was a huge unload for me and I appreciate you all "listening". I think I will be sticking around a little longer, I do enjoy it so :)
ReplyDeletewhere else would I get ANY style in my life? I didn't even realize some of these beautiful things existed. you're absolutely in the right place, what you share with us is your passion. Thank you. Keep it up. one day when I'm ready to finally put more energy into fashion (remember sad shoes?) you are the first I'm going to call.
