Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly bookish meme created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and is hosted by Aria @BookNookBits. Each Friday, there is a discussion topic for bloggers to write about, this week we will be discussing…
Well this week it’s a free choice on what to discuss, so I found a topic in the archives I’d not discussed before.
Have you ever considered quitting blogging?

PROMPTS: Have your reasons for blogging changed since you started? If so, what changes have you noticed? Have you ever taken a break from blogging, or thought about it? Have you ever thought about quitting blogging entirely? What stops you? What gives you motivation to keep blogging?
Have your reasons for blogging changed since you started? If so, what changes have you noticed?
The answer to this is very much a “yes”. I began book blogging as a way to get arc books and it involved lots of posting of cover reveals, blog tours and follow up promotion. About two years ago I realised that not only did those posts get very little attention, but I also didn’t get any joy out posting them either.
My first blog was a scrapbooking/paper crafting blog so there has very definitely been a change since then!
Have you ever taken a break from blogging, or thought about it?
There was a gap of several months between my crafting blog and its metamorphosis into a book blog. Does that count? I’m saying it does!
Have you ever thought about quitting blogging entirely? What stops you? What gives you the motivation to keep blogging?
I have been considering taking a break only these last few weeks. It doesn’t bother me if I only post a couple of times a week, but I do hate not being able to visit my blogging friends as frequently as I would like. I’m worried any hiatus may actually end up being permanent, we all know what it’s like when we have every intention of doing a job, but it just keeps getting put off until another day. I don’t want to permanently quit for two reasons. The first is that I do enjoy interacting with other bloggers and the second is that I like having this record of my journey as a reader/blogger.
