When it’s fresh and new it’s so exciting. At the beginning of creating your blog, you don’t know exactly where it’s going. Is this a long term commitment? Or just a short fling of a topic you won’t find interesting in the morning?

So you begin this budding relationship, you and your blog. You go into a frenzy of activity. It starts with the tease of topic ideas bursting to mind, to the climax of completing an article… maybe even completing articles several times a day. Your fingers scamper across the keyboard like you can’t get enough of your blog. Like you’re creating a magic no other writer has ever felt or could ever imagine.

And then it strikes. Maybe it’s a few days later or a few weeks later, you start to lose your deep desire. You ignore your blog. Any thoughts of articles or topics weigh heavy on your mind like you’ve been forced into a relationship you’re just not ready for. You want a life of your own. To go out with friends.  To spend time on Facebook. And you feel guilty for letting your mind stray.

It’s almost like you and your blog are having a fight, and now you’re not speaking to each other. You begin to wonder if your blog is good enough for you. I mean, all that hard work you put into it, and what does your blog do? Hmph! Barely a thing! With a ten cent profit yesterday, you know your blog doesn’t appreciate all you do to fill it up.

You just need a break.

And than it passes. Your stop ignoring your blog. You realize it’s not all about the money. And you truly enjoy what you have with your blog. It’s special. Yes, your mother may still think you’re wasting your time with that cold heartless laptop that also seems clung to you at all times. But you know what you feel. You know it’s real. You know you’ll go through hard times again. But you’ll always go back. And your blog will always be there.
