Comments on: The Bloggy Chiropractor, Step 3: Analyze and refocus http://seattlemomblogs.com/2008/09/the-bloggy-chiropractor-step-3-analyze-and-refocus/ A Community for Blogging Mothers in Greater Seattle and the East Side Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:45:15 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Carrie http://seattlemomblogs.com/2008/09/the-bloggy-chiropractor-step-3-analyze-and-refocus/comment-page-1/#comment-4788 Carrie Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:31:39 +0000 http://www.seattlemomblogs.com/?p=421#comment-4788 I've loved this series for all of the good tips. For me, I purely enjoy writing. It is as simple and as complex as that. If it weren't for blogging, I'd still be writing, just not sharing. And the feedback and being able to share with others is an added bonus that I never thought I'd enjoy so much when I started blogging. I'm glad it doesn't stress me out, if it did - I wouldn't do it! And yes, balancing anything you love doing along with your other commitments to family, job, etc. is important. I’ve loved this series for all of the good tips.

I'd hate to know the total amount of time I spend either writing or commenting. I sit and do a little at a time. It's probably a pretty bad habit. I need to sit and think on it, the bigger picture.

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 04:12:42 +0000 http://www.seattlemomblogs.com/?p=421#comment-4733 Hmmm...this is good advice. After a long vacation with little internet access (and, man, did I enjoy the break), I came home ready to roll. I just started a new job, so I've been pretty busy. The only way I can justify blogging is to not let it interfere with my regular life. So I have been getting up at 5:30 in the morning and allowing myself one hour to write. If a post can't be put together in that time (and I don't happen to have any in reserve), no post for the day. One hour. In the evening (when everything is done) I can sit on the couch and read blogs and comment until I'm ready to turn in (usually an hour). So far, this is working for me. I had to plan a schedule, because I was starting to feel pressure to post, which is sort of stupid as I'm not making any money-this isn't my job. It's supposed to be fun, right? I do understand it's different if you are blogging for money-more pressure. I still contend that, for me, blogging has lead to a desire to write that I haven't felt in many, many years.
