I was quite obsessed with it.
I'd have random thoughts throughout the day about funny things I could
write about, keeping my eye out for silly situations, pondering on all
sorts of things. I'd make notes about them, I'd write everyday -
carefully wording my posts - and I'd comment on loads of other blogs.
I developed my blogging-style – to be funny, irreverent, a little
shocking, and I'd write pretty much uncensored on any given topic.
That was my persona.
It was fantastic building up a community of people who I'd link to,
and who would link to me.
It's a form of attention-whoring, I know, and I loved it.
I've met some really great people over the last 2+ years.
It's not so easy these days.
Life has changed, I have changed.
My writing style has changed. Like me, it's more guarded and serious,
but probably, at the same time, more honest.
These days I only link to people who I know I want to read everyday.
Only to people who I consider to be special and who I'd like to get to
know.
But I don't have time to post everyday and I can't even seem to manage
once a week.
I barely know what to write about anymore!
This place has just become a place where I come to rant and whine. But
I don't really want to do that to my blog or to my readers.
Besides, contrary to popular belief, talking loads about your problems
does not make them better – and those of you who know me, know that
I'm pretty happy-go-lucky most of the time.
I just don't have anything much to say right now. Nothing worth
writing about or reading.
Life is very busy, but fine. I'm fine, Hubby is well, it's all fine
and that's all there is to it right now.
I'm decidedly un-creative at the moment. I even bore myself with my
own posts these days. That's not good!
In the past couple of weeks, a number of people who I link to have
decided to take a break from blogging.
It's not a bad idea.
Don't fret, I'm still around and I wuv you all.
I still read you quite religiously through Google Reader, despite not
having the time to comment on your blogs.
So I'll post on occasion. Maybe something interesting will happen to
me and I'll be able to escape my blog-writing block!
In the meantime, watch this space – though less often than before –
and feel free to email me: jezzygirl[at]gmail[dot]com
Love

We all need a break sometimes, and I totally understand, Jezzy. I hope that your creative comes back soon, but in the meantime, if you ever need to whine and don't want to do it publicly, feel free to send me an email. =o)
I still love blogging, but with all my personal drama (plus a huge case of writer's block), I've had to take a break, too. I get it. Hope you're back soon, because I love reading your stuff, even if I don't always respond.
I totally hear you. When the muse wojld rather go quiet, it's best to put the pen down and see what else the planet has to offer.
I'm keeping you on my blogroll, and I'll keep checking back. Be well!
yeah, there's a reason why I've slowed down to about once a week myself! I think we all reach that point, no matter how enthusiastic we were in the beginning. I'm just glad that you're doing ok right now!
Enjoy your break and come back when you're inspired.
Phew! I'm so relieved to hear that you aren't going to go Cold Turkey! I'll definately be checking in frequently. I love your writing, reading about your insights and knowing that you and the Hub are doing AOK.
I have not meant to take a break but life is using all my time lately. Even my daily thought has become sadly behind.
I will check in and you will always be on my side bar.
Hugs to you and glad life is good.
Hey Jezzy, do you know what happened to illiterated?
I need to knooooow! Do you have any contact details for Girlie or know what happened?
There some stuff I want to get off the site if it's gone for good.
Anyway, you can contact me whitey@whitey-ford.com and I will check back here..
Please read my comment haha
