I honestly have no idea how some of my blogging friends do it. That is, updates at least once a day, awesome responses to feedback and comments and thousands of hits a day. It appears relatively easy for them sometimes, even though, I’m really learning it’s not at all. When I started this blog I really didn’t think anyone would really read it or that I’d get any substantial hits. I really just started a blog back up because I love to journal, I love coding, I love designing and I love photographing and documenting life. And somehow over the past few months this has really become a full time job for me. Which is something I was totally unprepared for. I’ve never done anything so involved or all-consuming before.
I spend my days trying to find that balance that I haven’t gotten quite right yet between family, friends, art, networking, school, college, blogs, emails, photos, living, eating and breathing! I’m just really excited that this website and all my other little projects have kind of grown into things that I know I will be working on for a while. I just want to apologize also for not being 100% consistent with my responses to your emails, comments and feedback. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I read everything you send me. But somehow I now receive between 80-110 emails a day. I’d say about half of it is junk and the rest is either information I need to keep or people I need to respond to. Every day I try to find the time to get back to everyone that writes me, but before that I try to write a post or two, read and comment on other blogs, and have a school/social life as well.
It has been a little difficult for me to adjust to this new approach to my days. I try to pack in as much as I can before hitting the hay at sometimes 3 or 4 in the morning, beat beyond belief. So I just want everyone to know that I’m no expert blogger, and I’m not the most prompt responder (I can’t hide those facts as much as I’d like to), but I want you all to know that I’m trying my best and I will continue everyday to try to find the time to do those extra things that are always on the bottom of my to-do lists. Truthfully, I love blogging. But that doesn’t mean it’s completely easy for me. It just means I’ll work damn hard to do my best everyday.
Enjoy? Let's get cozy over coffee.
