I also did it when I was feeling a little bit sluggish in the blogging arena.

I look forward to reading your posts during the challenge and beyond.<br /><br />I blog at https://profoundjourney.com. We have lots of similar interests. My theme for the challenge is Snack-Sized Wow Notes for Women Midlife and Beyond. Like you, I reply to every comment. I think that matters.<br /><br />It's a great idea to battle the temporary departure of your muse by pushing on and writing 'as if' - as if you had a million ideas again and couldn't stop your fingers from pounding those keys. Have a terrific challenge.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447366798740422421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-18231054357265050322018-03-26T10:37:35.040+08:002018-03-26T10:37:35.040+08:00Thanks also Leanne for linking up to #BloggersPitS...Thanks also Leanne for linking up to #BloggersPitStop.

It also depends on my mood. I'm so pleased you encouraged me to join AtoZ because it is a good focus. I've also found that having my focus this year as Thrive has helped but sometimes it just all feels a bit too hard doesn't it? You aren't alone and I always enjoy reading your thoughts. xxSue from Sizzling Towards 60 & Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418770845484399102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-32764897328709577312018-03-25T10:06:59.861+08:002018-03-25T10:06:59.861+08:00This is something that happens to me regularly Lea...This is something that happens to me regularly Leanne. I think it's because my blog isn't my main focus - I run a full-time business, plus work a part-time job, chase two teenagers and then run a blog ...

And usually I find my voice reappears. It might start via lengthy facebook updates or instagram blitherings and then I need to get words out. <br /><br />Having said all of that I do wonder if there comes a time when you need to move on and I'm very much in that frame of mind at the moment. xxDebbishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305239848096384084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-45703115721038930822018-03-23T21:50:19.414+08:002018-03-23T21:50:19.414+08:00I run dry on a regular basis.
