Jan, it’s a shame how much guilt seems to get attached to blogging. I hope we can learn and teach each other to be free of it. There are cycles and rhythms attached to our relationship with our words, our blogs, our readers… better to go with the flow of those cycles than fight them.

Saw the link to this post in Brad Shorr’s blog.

“Giving yourself permission to be quiet.” Love that. I went quiet for quite a spell. But I felt heavy with guilt and unnecessary fretting. Now, I know why.

And thanks for pointing out it’s part of the blogging cycle. Makes more sense to me now.

Sugar lists never fail to work for me – even lists of why I’m stuck! Glad it helped you too

Danielle hi Yes, I think reaching out and making some quiet connections is a good way to get our words flowing. We need to chose our responses carefully, but our focus is on the connection and the other person, rather than ourselves, which I think makes it easier to get past the blocks

Raima I’m glad it helps. Actually I’m not surprised writing about it helped you get blogging again – I find each time I write about my stuckness I get magically… unstuck Glad it worked for you too

@girlopinion – glad the post struck a chord with you. Thanks for letting me know.

Shawn hi, and thanks for the feedback. Checking back in with purpose and intention is very powerful. As you say, sometimes we lose sight of it – realigning what we’re doing to what we set out to achieve can really make the difference

Really good tips, not just for bloggers but for anyone that writes!
I particularly like point number 5 not only is this a great way to get yourself back in the game it is also an ideal way to draw a little inspiration from others.

It's so hard to quietly wait when three days have passed and nothing is coming. The list post is a great idea. I used that recently listing ways of finding my joy. That did the trick! .-= Sugar Jones´s last blog ..The Dish on Food, Inc. =-.
