At one point, Bald Man and I were writing on 6-7 blogs between the two of us. Two were our personal blogs, and then 5 others for b5media. Yeah, it was as crazy as it sounds, cuz, you know we have those kids and jobs and other responsibilities and that.
I’ve just given up Play Library, the first paying blogging gig of mine, that I started out writing on when Hsien snatched me up to join her. And so it’s a little sad leaving it (yes, I know I’m an over-emotional pansy. deal with it). I think one of the fun things about PL was that I had just started blogging when Hsien asked me to join her, and this here little personal blog was the first time as an adult that anyone was reading something that I wrote. And as for knowing any of the ins and outs of blogging? I knew almost nothing. So, it was fun for someone to see something in me, the ability to do this blogging thing well, that I didn’t even see in myself. And to still be able to call Hsien a friend after we’ve both now left PL? Even better.
So, now we’re down to our 2 personal blogs and Marriage Actually, which is a b5 blog. And I think, with the pressure off for all of that writing, we’ll rediscover the fun that brought us to blogging in the first place.
Thanks for sticking around here.
I hope you do re-discover the fun.
I will keep reading here and over at Marriage, Actually.
That was a lot of blogging…
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of blogging at the beginning but at the end of two years, I realized too that focusing on just one or two was important for my mental health.
Cheers to a happier, healthier blogging Aldrich family!
Kate: Me, too. I’m starting to, as you can probably tell from my resurgence here! I’m glad you’ll still be around. I’ll still be hangin’ at Babylune, too.
Hsien: Ahhhh…mental health. So very much underrated.
Thanks, friend.
