My blog evolved greatly, and at first was just a bunch of mis-matched scribbles. I eventually found the love of photoshopping and comedy, along with regular friends that made my comments look like twitter. It was very time consuming, yet extremely fun! My routine is less commenting and more creating now, but that of course leaves MY blog with less comments too. Give and take - seems balance is the key to anything in life. I know that the minute I am not enjoying the "blog thang" I will quit, but that seems very unlikely.<br /><br />Hello from SpeedyCat!<br /><br />ps - <I>three years ago I had never even used a computer</I>Speedcat Hollydalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207240842689917922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870610303452761041.post-63509936408328261062009-04-29T16:42:00.000-04:002009-04-29T16:42:00.000-04:00Scribbler,

For some reason my mind didn’t think of this blog like “real” writing, but it really is. Hmm, it’s nice to see the connection. I miss you too! :) <br /><br />Malcolm,<br />Thanks, and I know you were feeling blogging burnout there too for a while. Hope yours is on the mend!

Sometimes, I think taking a little break is all we need! :) <br /><br />Joiedevivre,<br />Thank you! :) I think it’s best not to blog for comments because then you are not writing for yourself. Unless, of course that’s what you originally intended. If that makes any sense. LOL<br /><br />Mike,<br />:) Thanks…and then you are right, it is hard not to blog for comments because getting them make you feel so good.

I have a suggestion. Look at the frequency of blog posts and arrange your visits. For instance, if you have a frequent blogger, atleast once a day, visit them often. If the blogger only updates once or twice a week, then keep them for the weekends and read them together. You'll find that you will be able to cover more and find more things to comment.Roshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289647547875964583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870610303452761041.post-50976841586550384962009-04-06T11:03:00.000-04:002009-04-06T11:03:00.000-04:00You shouldn't get burnt out, just write what natur...You shouldn't get burnt out, just write what naturally comes from you, and don't get stressed out just to find something to write and fear that you'll loose your readers.
