I know that there are bloggers who blog for a living but I also know that there are a lot who work their 9-5 jobs and maintain a blog.
This past week I worked at my Dad's office helping on some projects to make a little extra $ before I head to London in 13 days. All I have to say is I don't know you y'all do it. After working all day and sitting in traffic to get home blogging was the last thing on my mind. It seemed all I had time for was work and sleep. Forget blogging or exercising.
I'm obviously going to have to figure this balance out when I graduate and start working.
And forget about it when I have kids. You working mom bloggers out there get extra brownie points.
To all of you out there that juggle all of this, I commend you.
I totally agree! There are days where I am stressing to write something, and those are the worst because then I get writer's block. I suppose we do it as our release and hobby, right? Well, you will do great when you graduate! I am sure you will be blogging a long time:).
ReplyDeleteI love your blog btw!

man, i WISH i blogged for a living. but I do work and then blog, sometimes blog at work?! haha
ReplyDeleteI mainly blog at work and then do my edits at home since my company's browser doesn't allow for the updated version of Blogger. There's a lot of down time in my position. I know I'll lose that when I find a new job.
ReplyDeleteI'm a full timer worker bee and a casual blogger. I'd say it is a lot of work but there's so many cool bloggers that I get energized. Just find a good balance that works for you. :) Esther Norine Designs
ReplyDeleteI'm a full time student and have a 9-5 job at a country club! But I cheat and write my blogs at work a lot! Also I'm a huge procrastinator of school work so most of the time I use a blog post as an excuse!
ReplyDeletePlus I don't regularly so there's that! :) I'm sure you will figure out a good schedule for you! :)
true true! i'm a student and get to set my schedule! not sure what I will do with a 9-6 job. so glad I stumbled upon your blog! new follower!
ReplyDeletehappy new year!

I just blog...but it's not for a living or anything like that. I don't have/work a job and I don't go anywhere most days so I have a lot of free time. However, I DO have other things to do like cook food, clean house, and sew clothes...but blogging is the one thing I look forward to most each day! :) Two things I've found to be helpful for busy days when I will be gone are to pre-write and then schedule the posts to come out on the day I would usually publish them. And #2: always have a lot of draft posts! I have 96 right now.... Just keep working on ideas for different posts and then when you're really in a need you have several (or in my case, a LOT) to choose from to finish up and then post right away! :)
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to pop over and let you know that I’m now a regular hostess for the BRAND NEW The Great Blog Train Blog Hop which is hosted by myself and two other ladies! I’d love for you to stop by and add a link to your wonderful blog! Thank you!!
