It sounds like you have arrived at the right attitude. The compulsion to post can be overwhelming. I have been away the past few weekends and you know what I survived my blog being out of the Top 10. Sometimes you have to choose life. Now if only we could explain that to Ariala? ;-)

Great post and message Symphony.
If you feel too much pressure, you're not enjoying, so what's the point? That's something I realized a while back and I continue merrily on my low ranking journey through Blogit-land. Still enough motivation and wonderful readers to remain inspired and writing.

Symphony....
You have that right. Once it becomes a chore, the pleasure is gone. I've cut back too. I only do Island Reflections each day and the others when I have the time.

I do hope you are ok?...............take care of yourself.............I am glad you got your book

Symphony, I am sorry to hear about your mishap.
I have been meaning to get in touch, but I went through my own couple of personal struggles. Everything is all better here, and I hope so there, too!
I got the book in the mail the other day, thanks!
The problem with being a victim is that the scars run deeper than the immediate. So I worry for you that you are scared all of the time when you are anywhere anymore.
Love you, Dear!

I have nothing to worry about... I'll never make it to the top ten. And I don't care. I have too much fun writing. ;-)

Way to go Symph,
I think that is very healthy. I know that I've been feeling lately that I'm spending too much time here and not enough time on my real life, which is the source material for my blogs. So I'm cutting way back too and focusing on my life so that when you read me there is something good there to read - ya know?

it makes perfect sense.....and you make a good point...I never thought the addiction would end...and your right...some have left...and some have took a break and came back with a different attitude.........I suppose it is like a kick up the ass...........as I use to think blogit was the most important thing in my life after my kids of course...........but it is not blogit......it is the wonderful friends I have made here.....

Hey, Symphony,
Fantastic! Seems there's this blog addiction phase that totally burns us out. Some people leave and never come back. Some come back and often with the new view to ease back and not blog so much.
Me, I found that only posting to one blog, maybe once a day, has helped me a lot with that burnout. I also don't post as intensely...if that makes any sense.

You've got a good point!
The readers you do have and writing for the right reasons is more important than rank. I don't post as often or as regularly as I used to. I even miss a day or two a week. I figure if I have a decent rank,that's great, if not, that's great too. My focus has really changed around here.
