And if you've been to Chocolate Ink lately, you'll notice I've had the same problem. :) But to answer your questions: <br /><br />I would say my need for a creative writing outlet, and most recently, to communicate with friends and family who live elsewhere are my motivations for blogging. (I wish it were a bit more specific.)<br /><br />I've been blogging a little over a year, and plan to do it indefinitely. I'd love to do it professionally someday...when my kids are a little older and I have time to really carve out a niche.<br /><br />Have missed you guys (not necessarily from your absence, but mine!). Hopefully will be back soon.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11721939272005190152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516845359800195934.post-66031167877913563322009-06-19T11:47:15.082-07:002009-06-19T11:47:15.082-07:00hey reese....i keep coming here and trying to leav...hey reese....i keep coming here and trying to leave a comment and then my babies start crying or something beckons my immediate attention...<br /><br />ahhhhh......the blogging question....i ask myself this nearly every week since i started (nearly 4 1/2 years ago!)<br />i think my personnal reasons for blogging keep changing....i started cuz i like to write...and then i had a baby and it was winter so i was very isolated....and then it helps me understand my thoughts....or work out things i am struggling with....and connects me to people i can learn a lot from....and maybe i have something valuable to add to others lives too?<br /><br />i don't know...sometimes i step away but somehow i am always drawn back....<br />again....<br /><br />:) xoRoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09014829847475377261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516845359800195934.post-23509807752047464702009-06-18T11:15:19.278-07:002009-06-18T11:15:19.278-07:00HA!

THAT'S one of the reason I continue blogging-- I meet people who brighten up my life!<br /><br />I started blogging when I lived in Germany and felt very isolated. On many days it was the only significant communication I had. Now that I have friends and live in a town, it doesn't feel as necessary as it once did and I find that I have less time for blogging. <br /><br />Still, I think Heather and I will start attempting to blog every day again like we did last year.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />~ReeseHeather and Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12907263870688097948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516845359800195934.post-31130762197726318382009-06-18T06:07:39.827-07:002009-06-18T06:07:39.827-07:00After my blog goof-up the other day, I was not aro...After my blog goof-up the other day, I was not around for a day or so, and so I didn't see this. Probably a little not funny that you post about this and don't get comments right away...<br /><br />I started blogging to keep my family, and friends that were far away (once I told them about the blog, some of which I still haven't), posted about our family. I'm horrible about sending pictures, so this was sort of my easy way out. I like to write, although not in a formal journal, but this is kind of like that, so I have a record of what we've been doing without actually recording it formally. Plus I get to be a little funny along the way.<br /><br />A few weeks ago Robert was looking back on the blog at work trying to find a picture to show someone, and when he got home he mentioned how much stuff was on there and what a great record/keepsake it was. That's really one of the best compliments I could have received from him.<br /><br />I'm motivated to blog from my daily life, my OCD, and my kids. I don't see those things changing for a while. I have a little list of things I want to blog about at some point and I don't want to forget to do it, so that helps me too.<br /><br />I follow your blog, and that way I know if you've done a post, which is good for when you've taken a blogging break. I think some people probably read it and don't comment as well, so it's difficult to know sometimes.<br /><br />I hope you don't throw in the towel. I'd hate to see you nekkid.Kayrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735245416162284974noreply@blogger.com
