I have been blogging in some form or another for the last 10 years. For much of that time, I blogged religiously every day. Was it all quality content? No. But it was regular content. But for most of the last 6 months, I haven’t blogged. I thought I was ready to come back to blogging at the start of the year, and wrote and scheduled a bunch of posts in one shot, but have gone another month without posting since then.

My hosting service is due to renew in a couple of weeks, so I’m really toying with the question of whether I want to pay for another year, or just call it good and shut everything down.

I have loved blogging. And I have especially loved being part of the book blogging community for the last 6 years. I’ve met some amazing people, but have let those friendships slide over the last 6 months. Blogging has brought so much into my life, and was just what I needed during a very difficult period. I credit blogging with helping me survive homelessness, when I spent all of my waking time either at work or the library. It provided me with something I needed.

But my life has changed a lot over the last year and a half, and it is continuing to change, and what I once needed from the blog, I no longer need. So do I let it go? Or does it change with me?

This isn’t a question I can immediately answer. Over the course of the next two weeks, I’ll be posting some new stuff, content that fits with where I am in my life right now. Through these posts, I am hoping to to discover if I am ready to move in a new blogging direction, or if I’m just ready to walk away.
