I took a long break
I was running against a wall. My posts were running out of topics that I could conveniently write about.
The whole process of research and write was also distracting me from focusing on things I needed to do. I cook 2 meals and care for 2 preschoolers on weekdays. To work on a site just meant no me time to blank out on weekends.
The main reason
I have been doing some clearing of the baby stuff that we don't use anymore. I was using the time to sell them away because we don't have space in our apartment for them.
Most of them are now sold and I was finally able to keep the house a bit tidier.
I've been away for around 3 months.
In the meantime...
- Photobucket, my photo hosting provider, decided to stop us from linking for free. I have to copy all my photos elsewhere, probably Google or the Yahoo photo hosting provider.
- 3 people subscribed to my newsletter. I was not expecting this and now i have to write an ebook.
- I have been replying comments. Not many, but at least they come.
- The views and viewing duration of my YouTube videos have been slowly climbing up. Ad revenue is not possible anymore for now since I don't have enough lifetime views to qualify for ad placement. I'm halfway there, though.
Lots to catch up on, but this time I'll go slower.

I hope you can get back up to speed here and feel good about your progress. Amazon Prime has free photo storage also. I use that.
Also, WA has a brand new feature that provide free photos for our use in the Site Content platform. They are automatically compressed and free to use anywhere you like. I don't write in Site Content but I am using the photos.
Hey, sometimes its hard to find the motivation to post but a key thing is take a break every so often. At the start, I was writing a post everyday and sometimes if you feel uninspired it is okay to take one day off and plan something fun for your day. All the best :-)
I wish you all the best. Create a plan for success and work towards it bit by bit.
