I don’t think I’ve experienced confidence burnout per say (although it could be tied into the whole “I feel like a fraud” thing I’ve been experiencing lately), and i definitely don’t believe you have a reason to feel that way! I know I haven’t been commenting as much on your blog recently, but I still read it regularly and think your content is as wonderful as always!

You are definitely doing the right thing by just taking a step back when you do feel that way – we all need to refresh and refocus every once in a while!

I also agree with your comments on the time issue. I definitely understand that as a blog grows in popularity, finding the time to respond to comments on your site AND on other blogs you may follow becomes more and more scarce. But, as you said, you personally still manage to interact with the community via social media like twitter, and I would guess the interaction is still one of your favorite parts about blogging. Everyone has to determine what works for them, and you have figured out what works for you. I am on my way to figuring out what works best for me – for now. 🙂

You really made some wonderful points here – thanks so much again for sharing!

I really think that burnout doesn’t discriminate when it comes to seasoned/new bloggers – it all depends on what else you have going on in your life. I also agree completely with this statement:

“I don’t want it to be a chore, i want to enjoy interaction with blogger’s and blogging itself.”

That is exactly it! When it does start to feel like a chore, we definitely need to take a step back and refresh.

Thanks again for the kind words – all of them 🙂

Good luck getting through your writers block (although I haven’t really noticed it on your blog!). I hope your return to work goes well, and as you said, sometimes you just need a break. I think the majority of readers really do understand that!

Honestly, I don’t know how you do it all. I wish I had your organizational skills! LOL It sounds like you tackle your scheduling and challenges head on, and have figured out what works for you. I’ve never really tried to do something like a blogging outline – my topics tend to be much more “whim” driven. I write about what strikes my fancy at the time, although I do love the consistency of having a set topic on Friend Friday.

Maybe that type of scheduling is something I should explore – it might help with some of the burnout at least!

Ultimately, though, however burned out i may feel, I also love being a part of the community which is why I always come back.

I am loving the posts on your Sunglass Hut blog and reading a bit about your adventures on twitter. Still so excited for you!

When i first began blogging I felt like I needed to do it every day or the few readers I had would disappear. Now I know better. I do the same – only blog when you have something relevant to say!

I definitely consider that a type of burnout. Anything that affects my blogging can be.
