Hi all, I first of all want to address the issue of my infrequent posting the last two weeks, I feel as if I’ve really neglected my blog and of course all of you guys. I think my main reason has been simply down to lack of time, and also the fact that I seem to have hit a bit of a writer’s block. Do any of you out there ever feel like that?
Maybe it’s because it’s a Monday, which has always been my least favourite day of the week, and the fact that the skies outside my window are no longer blue, but I feel a bit of a case of hitting a slump. I’m feeling unmotivated to write, and unmotivated to express myself. I’m by no means unhappy, in fact I feel content… and I’m starting to think that’s why I’m feeling this way.
I’m starting to realise that my best posts, my posts which you guys enjoy, are when there’s genuine emotion behind them and excitement, and I’ve been reluctant to post anything which hasn’t been to that standard. I want my words to dance on the page, I want them to stick with you, to make you think, for them to challenge your train of thought. I don’t want you to get bored halfway through or to feel as if you’ve lost interest of the things I have to say.
I think I can see a light at the end of the tunnel though, so don’t worry, I’ll be back to writing soon, but I just wanted to keep you all informed on the lack of recent posts.
As always, thank you for sticking with me, and I hope you enjoy the posts that I’m sure will spring to mind very soon. If you have any ideas of how I can get out of my slump quicker, or if there are any posts that you would particularly like to see, then do let me know as it would be a great help!

We all have low points in productivity, never more so when we’re busy. The joy of your blog is the fact that it is lifestyle. We don’t mind you going off for a while because we know you living will bring us great posts to read.
I was really enjoying the student advice posts, it was lovely and nostalgic for me but full of great advice. Is there something you can do there. Maybe a highlight piece on your uni, what the freshers should see. Where the best affordable food is the hidden gems. Now I’m saying all this I bet you’ve already done a post like that and I missed it.
What about something related to driving, could you turn that into diaries of some form.
For the past two weeks I’ve been running themed series for poetry, maybe what you need is a theme and then serialise the posts.
Like you say it’s hard to want to post when you feel the subject matter lacks heart but you’ve got a clever head on those shoulders, don’t fall to doubt and blues. Just write and try new things, we’ll be here waiting for the adventure!

Thank you for your kind and reassuring words! 🙂 I’m feeling much better today and full of new ideas so hopefully I can get them up and running soon 🙂 thank you for your great ideas I’ll definitely try those out to see how they work! A theme could also work well too, I think I’m gonna be a busy bee 🐝 😀
