It’s been exactly 62 days since my last post. Just over the two month mark, my hiatus from blogging (but not necessarily the blogosphere) has finally come to an end. First off, for any students thinking about taking a break from blogging, DON’T. A short step back while other projects demand your time? Sure. A small rest while you wait for interesting post ideas to spark? Maybe. An officially titled, full-on break? No.
Just. Don’t. Do. It.
It might just be me, but taking an official break from blogging was damn near impossible to return from. Different than some, I have oh-ho-ho PLEEENTY of things I want to talk about. Taking a break for me didn’t mean an end to scribbled posts ideas on what are now eight filled, large, lined post-it notes. No, taking a break for me meant I put too much pressure on coming back. What will my first post be?? Is that cool enough for my first independent, no-longer-for-a-grade post?? How am I going to win back my small pool of now long gone readers?? Taking a break for me meant putting it off and putting it off until finally, it seemed too daunting to even begin! The familiar feeling of writing my very first post way back in January returned; that one of timidity and fear, of stupidity and caution. I’ve been busy, sure, that was the reason for the break in the first place. But busy this long? Definitely not.
Well, finally I’ve gotten over myself and realized the My Blog tab on my toolbar just isn’t so scary after all. Welcome back, readers, welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaaack (to be sung to above link’s tune).
