I’ve Been On A Hiatus

Well, I haven’t touched this blog in a few months. If you hadn’t noticed, I’d begin to think you didn’t actually care, but I also wouldn’t blame you. Sometimes I feel like I wouldn’t miss me either. Life these days is just SO busy, it’s really hard to keep up. At the beginning of the year, I was excited and put a ton of time and energy into brainstorming post ideas for the blog and social media platforms. I spent time researching topics, finding my niche, building my brand and ways to build a blog audience, building social media presence for blogs, etc. There was a lot to learn as this was totally new territory for me. I really wanted to build this blog and do it right. This blog was 100% meant to be a creative outlet for me, but I also wanted to see what potential this blog could have monetarily and beyond that. I had so many plans, calendars, and post ideas ready to be created.

Just as quickly as I got the blog going, I became overwhelmed and began drowning in the workload of my previous job. Unfortunately, in April I was let go. Since then, I’ve been spending my time applying and interviewing for jobs and trying to keep up with life. My previous job took a big toll on me mentally and emotionally along with using a lot of my creativity. I lost more nights and weekends to this job than I ever want to in the future. I don’t have many good things to say about the situation and it’ll likely be another post in the future.

For now, though, I’m back to doing research, drafting posts and stories, and slowly getting my spark back. I’m using this time “off” to grow in my skillset and expertise in a few areas. I have a lot of time on my hands these days so I hope to get back to pushing out more content and really filling this blog out.
