So glad to have you stop by. I totally ...Hey Holly! So glad to have you stop by. I totally get what you mean. It seems like there's so much that goes into it. I think there has to be a major balancing act of staying true to your writing and trying to grow your community/readership at the same time. I also think the Create Freedom Course is helping me to see that I can be authentic in my writing AND be productive and efficient with this blog too in a way that helps me reach my goals. Look, I am even starting to sound like Kyla ;-) Regardless, I have been blogging for what feels like a very long time too. I'm just now taking the steps to really bring it to people beyond my family and friends. I don't have answers to your questions either but I too have thought about them! Thanks again for visiting Isn't She Lovely.Jana Burrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661070303089465262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-12448128297308441842013-10-29T23:09:11.742-04:002013-10-29T23:09:11.742-04:00Hi Jana!

I used to LOVE blogging - I love writing, and I've been blogging in one form or another since the days we called it a "weblog" (ha ha!) but now I just feel … burnt out, maybe. I'm tired of trying to follow all the rules. Tweet ___ times/day, post ___ times/week, don't write about certain topics … blah blah blah. It really takes all the fun out of it. How can you write "from the heart" when you're thinking about being "pinned" or "tweeted" or whatever? Sorry to rant … I have no answers to my own questions, I just wanted you to know you're not alone :)Hollyhttp://holly-beth.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-35151237588826159332013-10-28T21:05:06.422-04:002013-10-28T21:05:06.422-04:00Thank you Kim!

Well, that and the technicalities of it all. But I'm determined for this blog to reach the potential I see for it. I'm so very sad and disappointed to miss The Brand Market. Hopefully I can make the next one. Thanks for stopping by Isn't She Lovely ;-)Jana Burrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661070303089465262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-7334670999175016972013-10-25T18:55:03.167-04:002013-10-25T18:55:03.167-04:00I've always told you to follow your heart. Ye...I've always told you to follow your heart. Yes, learn the ins and outs of blogging. But always be true to yourself. What makes one writer successful might not work so well for another writer. I'm not a blogger and don't pretend to know the science of it. What I DO know is that you have a gift. And when you write from your heart, you captivate readers, and science becomes a non-issue. You're off to a fabulous start. I'm so happy to be right here with you!! I love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550984997213939656.post-28181497972840013272013-10-25T17:56:32.777-04:002013-10-25T17:56:32.777-04:00My writing was so rusty when I started blogging an...My writing was so rusty when I started blogging and there are some days I feel like I can't even formulate sentences!
