I ask myself this question a lot lately because I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by Linky deadlines and the feeling that I should visit all the other links but just don't have the time and if I did, why would I want to spend all day and evening on the computer? I guess I'm just addicted to blogging now but do get pleasure out of posting things people find funny or interesting, but this SITS Back2Blogging Challenge has really put the pressure on and tuckered me out—talk about time-consuming!
So, why do I blog?
- We learn a lot through blogging—tips, places, needs of others and new things like blogging pets!
- I enjoy writing over talking.
- It’s fun to read about thoughts, views, lifestyles and experiences of others, including the cats and dogs.
- Sharing with others is just something I like to do.
- We have made some new friends through blogging through exchanging comments.
- I find blogging challenging and I like a challenge.
What if we all stopped? I know I would miss blogging now that I’ve been bitten by the blogging bug. We would have so much more time though to do other things such as: Watch TV, clean, get to know our neighbors, go places, read more books, visit people face-to-face, exercise, play more with my pets and talk more with my husband. What would you do if you didn’t blog. I think I would get bored after awhile.
Here’s my blogging challenge: Let’s everyone stop blogging completely for two weeks—no posting, no scheduling posts, no commenting or reading others blogs. If everyone stopped at the same time, we wouldn’t be missing anything. I think it is a great idea! Everyone may come back refreshed with lots of ideas and anxious to do it some more. On the other hand, we may find that we really don’t miss it and could get on with other things in our life. Now, which two weeks should the blogosphere take a vacation? I’m thinking maybe November. We have to plan it far enough ahead to get the word out. Who’s with me on this? Leave your suggestions in the comments. What do you think?
