I've been pretty poor at tending my blog this summer. Even after all the excitement over the new title, I just deflated. I used to be incredibly consistent, staying up late to post at least once per week. I knew that consistency is key and I knew that I needed to be building my platform if I ever want to get published. I knew that sometimes you have to work through a lack of inspiration and get 'er done.
But in this season, despite all these things about blogging that I know, it's felt right to let it go a bit.
At first I thought I was simply being unmotivated, but recently a word came to me for how I feel: fallow.
Fallow means left unsown for a season in order to restore fertility.
My e-creativity needs that, no matter how many rules of blogging this fallowness breaks. I'm such a rebel.
I'm not sure how long this fallow thing will last, I just thought I'd put it out there so you'd know that I'm not being lazy, just seasonal. See you whenever the sowing season starts up next!

I completely get this. I've been there....am still there with my blog. I just post when I can. I like your word for it - fallow. I say go with it. :)
Get it. Love it!
I felt this way about writing in general for several weeks in a row. I love the concept of allowing your mind and soul to rest, giving it time to restore itself before the next season of creativity arrives. I think when we give ourselves time to rest, there is often a surge of creativity that follows...if we (by that I mean, I) don't panic. :)
I thought I knew you! Hi Alisha! Thanks for the comment yesterday - I gave you a little shout out on today's post, hope you don't mind. xo
