It should come as no surprise than that I'm the same way with my blog. I have notebooks and calendars to keep track of books to review, contests hosted, ideas for posts, etc. Unfortunately the stuff doesn't always happen that way. I've been blogging for 2 1/2 years now and still enjoy it, but to keep it going it must be constantly evolving. I didn't have as much time last year so I did less and took on fewer obligations. This is a hobby for me that I've enjoyed very much and I'd like to keep it that way. Although I missed posting and visiting other bloggers during the times I was away I knew it was temporary and for the best. If I have too many things going on then I don't have time to blog and it just becomes a stressful chore, then reading becomes a stressful chore and I don't want that to happen.
This time of year I see many people have written wrap ups for 2010, tallying up their totals for challenges, reviews, books read... I didn't do any challenges and I didn't add up anything but I am thinking of goals for this year. I need to change my background and make a new header. I enjoy changing it up for the different seasons and holidays. I hope to continue learning new things about blogging too. I like to know how to do things myself and where to go to find out more. I want to try some challenges and I have my lists ready to got I just need to finish writing the post. See what I mean? I've talked my mom into writing some mini reviews for me that I will be adding and I hope to get my old weekly feature So I was just wondering... up and running again. I have blogs to visit, books to read and more to add to my ever expanding to-be-read list. I find terrific ideas from all of you!
So I have lots to look forward to this year and lots of work to do too so I'd better get started. I need to catch up on some sleep first...
My tbr list is down to 1 not through any choice on my part. Laptop crashed last week and nothing could be saved. Yow! You can imagine the state I was in. So if you have any good recommendations I'm all ears!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful 2011 and I'm looking forward to your mom's reviews. How fun is that!!

I look forward to great things on your blog! I'm excited that your mom has agreed to review for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the piles. I have too many things that I work on, writing, quilting, sewing, knitting. If you (or your mom) is interested, I'm doing a review competition on my blog.
