I spent 15 minutes late last night writing out three very thoughtful and very detailed response and when I hit "publish" the damn system gave me a 503 error and ate it all up.<br /><br />So, onto the comments.<br /><br />Joanne: I've been trying to shake up my routine here as well.

When it stops being something I enjoy then I know I'll stop doing it. I don't write personal stuff on my blog and I know lots of people get sick and tired of photos of flowers and stuff, but it makes me happy. Do I have times when I have nothing? Yup. And that's when I just don't post. I don't follow any schedule or anythingTALONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205633556998220372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468858293961151587.post-31751782776795222132010-11-07T20:58:34.940-05:002010-11-07T20:58:34.940-05:00I think Joe said it best - you might just post wha...I think Joe said it best - you might just post what is on your heart and mind at the moment.

And then I try different features with that focus - Author tours, interviews, okay, okay, even a Rate the Porch series. And I do take announced hiatuses to give myself a break, but always return to my schedule. Don't you find that even in difficult times, it's kind of nice Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468858293961151587.post-21725255174435964272010-11-07T19:05:48.186-05:002010-11-07T19:05:48.186-05:00R: Thanks.

Blogging is about the only way I stay connected with people on a sane adult level (besides Facebook), so when I take a break, no matter how well deserved, I have a tendency to get stressed out.G. B.

If you have a particular niche, like being an artist or a writer of a specific genre who loves to explore the entertainment scene, then your blog is gonna go on and on and on ad infinitum.<br /><br />I think the problem for most bloggers stems from the fact that they dabble (like I do) in a multitude of different subjects and every now and then, they feel like the G.

I go to a number of blogs of artists and they are always describing the process, showing the results, musing about the next project.
