My sporadic blogging has been going on for a while. I make plans, set goals but just can't get it together! I had to just come right out and say it. And I know I'm not alone. Your blog may be inconsistent for the very same reason.

Time to bear it all… kinda 😉 So, here’s the thing… I’ve been in a bit of a slump recently, writing-wise (in case you haven’t noticed LOL!). I mean, I sit down at the dining table, all pumped and determined to type up like, a week’s worth of posts, open up the laptop and… nothing. “Why?”, you ask? Who knows?! Could it be this event that I’m planning? *shrug* It could very well be that my brain has turned to mush with all the preparations on top of the already fifty-eleven things I’ve got going on in this head of mine. Could be. Or maybe… …it’s my writing space. Hey, don’t underestimate the value of a decent place to create!

I should’ve known better than to think I’d be able to pump out a post per day around the same time that I’d be putting the finishing touches on my event! Hey, ya gotta admit, I was good up until the 5th! 😉 But WOW… the day before the event included so much that writing even a quick blog post was the last thing on my mind: errand-running, responding to email inquiries, sending last-minute reminders, washing my hair and the list goes on! I figured once the event was over things would settle down and I’d be able to have a nice, sound sleep. NOPE! Going to bed at 4 AM Saturday morning (event day!) threw my whole sleep schedule off somethin’ awful for the next few nights! When I DID finally get some sleep, I’d wake up at all kinds of hours… I mean WIDE awake! Guess I was still…
Woooooohooo!! I made it! We made it! Shoutout to Awesomely Luvvie for introducing this challenge and all my #31WriteNow blogger buddies who stuck it out for the whole month of August including Naturally Supreme, Love. Embrace. Inspire., Kitten Heel Marvel, NaturallyMe35, and The HodgePodge Files. Even if you missed a day or two, the effort was definitely evident and for that, I give you props! I truly appreciate the encouragement and the support between us was amazing. ♥♥ Now, I’m not gonna act like this was a walk in the park… a “challenge” it was. Quite a number of articles made it in just before the stroke of midnight or a few hours before but hey, as long as it was “today”, it counted! LOL! As I began this challenge, I gulped in nervousness wondering if I would be able to come up with content interesting or even entertaining enough to fill 31…
