Unplug

This post is a day early because I have a book review that has to posted tomorrow and I still wanted to write for the workshop this week because I loved the prompt I chose.

This week for the writer’s workshop I am going to write about number 3 which is: Do you “unplug” during the summer months? Why or why not?  I chose this one because I found it the most interesting.

As I sat and thought about if I have ever unplugged during the summer since I have blogged I realized that I have but it has always just kind of happened.  I have never planned to take a break during the summer months but I always seem to get super busy and blogging just falls to the side.

I have noticed that I do really well blogging up until my daughter’s birthday and after the beginning of July I fall off and I think it has to do with getting depressed and just not wanting to take the time and blog.  I haven’t done that this year but I do find that I am putting blogging off until the last possible minute which is something that I don’t usually do.  I tend to wait till the last-minute with book reviews because I have to finish the books but on posts like this I try to have them done a week in advance because they are easy to write & schedule.

On the years that I have taken a break during the summer I usually start blogging around September or October so I take the summer off and even longer some year’s.  I am sure if I had kids I would be taking the summers off because there are so many other things that I would want to do during the summer with the kids and blogging would be put on hold until they went back to school.  I am not sure how mommy bloggers can keep up blogging and taking care of their kids.  I am pretty sure that isn’t something I would be able to keep up with.

Do you unplug during the summer?

  1. You have the right attitude. Family is more important.

    I was very excited to get back to blogging and writing since I have been gone traveling Europe for the last 2 1/2 months. There’s just something so therapeutic about writing. It prompts reflection and jogs memories. But… being a grandmother and making memories with the kids is far more important than being “plugged in”. So, I can take it or leave it. Depends on what is going on at the moment.

  2. I rarely take intentional breaks from blogging and the only responsibility I feel about posting regularly are for the workshops I host. The rest is just habitual. I like that you don’t pressure yourself and just allow it to be a place to go to when you need it.
