I used to be so good about posting everyday and going to all the blogs that I love, but it's a huge challenge to keep that up on a daily basis. Well, unless I win the lottery and decide to sit at home on my computer all day :) xoxoAlena: Oh, Its Just Perfect!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16343119650393420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-46851814716622468602011-06-17T19:03:31.910-04:002011-06-17T19:03:31.910-04:00I feel your pain!

I feel that my best posts come with creative or delicious food. However. We will survive. Sometimes I feel that my posts are so boring, I start to write then give up. I've since deleted the many drafts sitting in my blogger dashboard, but life is hard and busy sometimes. Good luck with work, blogging, and being inspired! You'll get back to it soon enough!amy gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209745390748780657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-63574087173461421662011-06-17T11:02:51.188-04:002011-06-17T11:02:51.188-04:00Nice photo, ha!

I remember I had writer's block on my novel when I was writing it and I was nearing my deadline for the project and I had writers block for a whole MONTH! The added freak out of each day probably didn't help. Well, I hope you'll feel inspired soon!Eva @ Four Leaf Cloverhttp://fourleafcloverblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-67993444931731095372011-06-17T08:51:55.690-04:002011-06-17T08:51:55.690-04:00Hannah, I completely 100% know how you feel!

Don't get me wrong, I love blogging - it's satisfying, creative and heaps of fun but sometimes I just don't have a whole lot to say! Take a break, put your feet up, relax, revitalise the plants and get your cooking mojo back!

Yeah, it happens that you don't feel like writing and sharing and reading and all. Sometimes it's a good thing. It gives you time to live the real life, too. And yes, it kinda makes me post more pictures and write less, which can be bad at times...but as we so often say, a picture can say a thousand words?! Picture posts are fun, too.<br /><br />xoxoSelma @ Crazy Little World Of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929702117923613383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-75700150881695306572011-06-14T11:01:29.039-04:002011-06-14T11:01:29.039-04:00TOTALLY!!!

It goes in waves, so you will probably be out of your writing funk in a bit. If I really want to push myself, then I find something that I am really excited about and write about that. Anyway, this is just to say that many people go through this. Either that or like Christine, I just post pics. :)Try Anything Once Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462591982064642745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-90225432614193529852011-06-14T10:44:19.845-04:002011-06-14T10:44:19.845-04:00I turn on music and force myself to start typing. ...I turn on music and force myself to start typing.
