Back when I was heavily engaged in the blogosphere, my biggest pet peeve was when I found a blog I really liked and the writer would just suddenly stop posting. There was even one blogger (whose blog I really, really loved) who not only stopped writing but erased her blog entirely. It was heartbreaking to become so connected to someone – often a stranger – through their writing then have them take it away. It’s like a break up.
I’m sure many of you thought I was breaking up with LuckyRenee (and, in turn, my readers). Or, at the very least, citing “it’s not you, it’s me” but having random hook ups once a year when we ran into each other at the bar. The truth is that real life doesn’t create the greatest opportunity for maintaining a blog. In my 6+ years of blogging, most of that time I was in school – mostly college – which is the ideal time to have a blog. Lots of extra free time, great inspiration, interesting friends, etc, etc. But then you graduate and get a job and a house and a husband and suddenly your life is filled with cleaning the kitchen and letting out the dog and not at all with being creative. But enough is enough. I owe it to myself to write and I promise that I’m going to. If you have any topics you’d like to hear my thoughts on or just want to pass on some encouragement (“write woman, write!”) please email me at luckyrenee at gmail dot com. Cheers!
