When writing becomes a chore

Posted in Writer psychology on September 28, 2008 by cjweisman

I admit it. This blog has become a chore. It’s not that I don’t enjoy writing, or even contributing to this blog. It’s just that I have so many other things going on right now, which in my mind take precedence over this blog, that I cannot get excited about it. But maybe that’s the best reason to keep going. After all, this blog is called Inside The Writer’s Mind, and my intent is to share everything going on inside of me during the writing of my next book. Perhaps sharing how I deal with writing when it becomes a chore is the most valuable thing I can share. Maybe it’s not what you want to hear. Maybe it’s not what I want to say. But it’s the truth; it’s real, it’s current and it’s what I’m dealing with.

What is my responsibility here? Is it to my readers? Is it to me? Is it to the blog itself? I’d be curious to hear from anyone who started a blog and got tired of maintaining it. What did you do? How did you feel about it? Let me hear from you.
