As some of you might have noticed there was a 17-day break between the two recent posts. That\u2019s the longest since the beginning of the blog. So, I think I\u2019ve officially been to and returned from my first blogging slump.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a blogging slump?<\/h2>\n

A slump is a slowdown in an activity. I always imagined a blogging slump to be that cosy, lazy process when you simply don\u2019t want to focus on your blog and choose to focus on something else. Turns out, it\u2019s not always true. I simply had to do other things, but I was really missing my blog and the community. So hi guys<\/strong>, how are you?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The other end of the tunnel<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Now when I\u2019m back I thought I\u2019d turn this experience into a positive one summing up those things I noticed while trying to return. I’ll also ask you some questions and if you want to reply to any of them, please, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. My hope is that both the post and the comments will be helpful to other people who are going through similar situations.<\/p>\n

Here is how it was for me<\/h2>\n

I dreaded returning to a project that remained untouched for so long<\/h3>\n

I think it was one of the main obstacles that kept me away for longer. I felt as if I’d been neglecting a hungry monster and it could now eat me up when I’d finally turn up at the doors. Luckily, it was a mistake. No monsters behind the doors, just dear old blog and lots of familiar people in the comments and Twitter replies. \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Replying to comments and messages<\/h3>\n

This has been my main priority because it’s the people I’m here for. They did help me get back on track.<\/p>\n

Something super exciting happened while I was away<\/h3>\n

I’ve been featured in an article called The 19 Best Book Blogs to Read in 2019<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Scribendi<\/a>!!!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, I’m over the moon about it, and it also encouraged me to come back here sooner.<\/p>\n

My genius plan on how to avoid such long breaks in the future<\/h3>\n

I’ll try to schedule several posts ahead so that if the trouble does happen again I will be able to still stay connected with everybody while not having to spend time on writing new posts.<\/p>\n

Questions to you<\/h2>\n
