Blogging for Motivation

You may have notice the lack of entries from the Peogles Blog, or should I say the lack of quality entries during the last few weeks. Despite the success of the blog and progress I have made within the last three months, I’ve hit that road of losing motivation.
I’m not sure why I started to lose motivation? Although blogging is time consuming, my schedule is relatively the same from last month, if not a little lighter considering I took a semester off from school. So it couldn’t be time.
So why am I losing motivation?
Is it because I feel that I have reached a certain milestone in terms of hits and visits that I am content with, and therefore I may justify in my own mind why I don’t have to publish today?
Is it because my Google AdSense isn’t earning much? To be quiet honest this blog wasn’t design for monetary gains, so that can’t be it.
Is it the lack topics or ideas circulating in my head? That can’t be it, there are always thoughts and ideas going through my mind, but for some reason, I’m not as motivated to publish them as I would have been a month ago.
Urban Thought and I had a conversation that there should be a plug-in that will connect your brain to your blog, so you can just think and it will post. (Haha.. I’ll wait for the day that happens)
I’m sure that it happens to every blogger once or twice during their blogging career, but what can you do to keep yourself motivated? How do you continue to push forward and make progress? How does Ms. Q do it?

All you need is a little feedback. People tell they visit the blog once and awhile then they give me feedback. Some people choose not leave a comment and that is okay since you know the system enough to count hits. Maybe you should have a page devoted with your message on how much you love comments and other types of feedback. See all those hits? Those are all your friends. Remember the definition of Peogles. By the way, personally, I believe you are a good writer.
Hey, Christian - based on the start of your archive date, this blog began at the same time as mine - Sept 2006!
This is just a quick note to let you know that I’m thinking of you and will write a longer response later. I think I’ll write a post on motivation, not quite sure but I do want to write a more thorough and thought out answer.
To be honest Ms. Q, I didn’t even have the motivation to write this post really well, but I knew I can count on you

Hi Christian, I came across an article this morning about how to avoid writers block and thought of your post. I hope it helps.

LOL… Nice. I’m glad we are on the same page.
I’m having the same problem. But it is more of a focus issue.
There’s really an edd and flow to all of this and it takes time to adjust to it. I had a spot where I had many non quality posts to the point that I slowed down my updates for awhile. Nothing crazy but just a bit slower. I got my second wind and things are running smoothly. I’m sure you’ll be fine.
ooops meant ebb and flow. I’ve lost my motivation to comment well. LOL!
