Tell Me Something Tuesday was hosted by Rainy Day Ramblings, but she has (temporarily?) stopped blogging. So a group of us that had been doing posts (Linda from Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell, Karen from For What It’s Worth, Roberta from Offbeat YA, Jen from That’s What I’m Talking About and me) decided to get together, come up with some more topics and keep the meme going.Michelle made us a logo and we’re off and running. For more details, check out this post where I reintroduced the meme.
I can be sporadic, but when I do join in I will always share next week’s topic at the end of the post. So, today is about…
What’s the hardest part about blogging for you?
Well that’s easy. Having the time to do it all. Not just time to write the posts, but time to read the books (all the books I want to read!!), run the challenges (because we do a lot of challenges around here lol), not to mention visiting others and replying to comments.
I’ve done much better this year about writing posts. I’ve still struggled to visit – I do often manage to visit but don’t have the ability to comment or share, which it’s like I was never there, ya know? And replying to comments here is like a loosing battle. I read them though 🙂
I’m really hoping to do better next year, but if I can at least maintain my current pace I’ll feel like I’m doing well-ish. I’d really love to have the time to do more.
Time is a huge factor. We all just do what we can and I think you are doing well!
“Well that’s easy. Having the time to do it all.”
Haha, yeah! For me it’s also writing reviews, because I’m obsessed with structure and in-depth analysis. But time is always a factor. I wouldn’t be able to blog much if I didn’t schedule everything about it.
Let’s hope next year will be better!
Yes, time for it all! And, I don’t even run a blog. 😉
Having time to do it all, and to a standard one is happy with, takes so much time. I hear you. Sometimes I just have to be happy with where I’m at and worry about doing “more” another time! I’m just glad to read your posts! Thanks for keeping up with it.
I use to be obsessed with my blog but I have found that the last couple years it has drizzled down to not much…lol. Time is a huge factor by also just making myself write a review these days is hard for me. 🙁
Time is definitely the biggest issue. Some weeks I post a lot and other weeks maybe only once. It happens.
You’re right, sometimes there is no time to write posts and do everything else. But I think if you make the effort and only got half done, that’s okay too.
I also try to reply comments on my blog but I keep falling behind but at least, I got some of them done even if they took a long while.
Have a lovely day.
I agree on the timing. Between managing my own Bookstagram, being a social media manager for Literal, and my blog, plus creating the pins to go with each blog post, it’s time consuming and very tiring.
