Today I am combining two prompts from Mama Kat's Workshop: prompt #3 "What have you been busy doing that's keeping you from updating your blog? How hard is it for you to get back into the swing of blogging when you take time off?" and prompt #4 "Write a letter."
Dear Blogger,
I am trying to be patient with you, but patience is not one of my strongest virtues and to be honest I'm almost at the end of my rope. I have several gripes with you right now including the fact that at this moment your site won't even let me post this letter. Maybe it knew what was coming or maybe it's just a sign to me that I should just give up.
First of all it's summer, I'm busy, and too be honest I haven't had that much time to reflect on anything and therefore I haven't been able to come up with as many creative posts as I had in the past. When I do get the urge to type furiously on my blog and let my creative juices flow it seems as if I'm being blocked either by the fact that blogger will not work correctly to post or it will post but it takes hours before it even shows up in the reader. Ugh! I'm sick of it.
It's been difficult to get back in the swing of things in general. Several of my favorite blog reads have decided to call it quits and sadly it makes me feel like I should give it up as well. But I can't. It's my outlet. It's my hobby. It's something I enjoy. Let me back in blogger please!
Signed,
A Frustrated Blogger Junkie
P.S. I'm trying out posting via email for the first time. Hope it works!
It is really annoying that it takes HOURS for google reader to process/update a new blog post!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one having blogger issues! Mine always freezes up, so annoying (especially when you're trying to sneak a read in here and there at work)!
ReplyDeleteBlogger gives me headaches sometimes too! So stressful! I am glad you aren't going to give it up though. One of my favorite blogs quit recently too. I miss it!
ReplyDeleteyou know, i have to agree. as wonderful as most of it is, blogger can really be a pain in the ass! posting pics takes forever and editing them to be in the right place is a pain. grrrr...
ReplyDeleteI have never tried posting from e-mail...maybe I will!
ReplyDeleteLet's start a revolution and boycott blogger! I'm down!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it posted! Lately, my gripe has been with IE8. I've enjoyed the posts you've made.
