Summer Doldrums of Blogging

Have you hit that time of the year where blogging doesn’t come so easy? Summer Doldrums of BloggingFrom time to time, normally late August and through September I get writer’s block. My blogging drive slows down.

It corresponds normally with the same time advertisers pay less. Are they linked? I think so… somewhat. Of course if advertisers were paying more I would be excited and all of a sudden there would be nothing stifling my creativity. If you know what I mean?

This isn’t the entire reason for a slow down on the blog posts. I run over 15 blogs myself plus I actively help others in their blogs. I help them design them, set them up, give them ideas, and many other things to help other succeed.

So every once in awhile I hit a time where I am a bit tired. Well, now is that time. Sometimes a comment from a reader gets me going again, sometimes earnings, sometimes my wife will get me going again. Other times I just kick it back into gear.

Really This is sort of a mini-vacation for me. I still write posts, but slow down a bit for the end of the summer. I don’t see this time as negative but a time where I can refresh before I kick it into high gear for the Christmas season.

How about you? Do you face writer’s block at anytime? Is it a normal time? Like every August, or some other pattern?

Another great thing about the internet is that I keep making the money when I slow down. If I slowed down permanently it would start having effects on my income but with the internet I keep making money.

This is residual income we are creating. It is nice that I can slow down for a few weeks and continue making money. Blogging is great!
