Blogging Manifesto, Version 2.0

January 27, 2014 by Kelly

I originally saw the idea for a blogging manifesto at The Perpetual Page-Turner. Jamie shared her reasons for blogging in general, and then went into more detail about how she wanted to blog. I loved this idea so much, that I launched my own blogging manifesto on Radiant Shadows.

Fast forward a few months, and I’m crawling out of the worst blogging slump of my blogging career. So even though I still love the idea of a blogging manifesto, a guideline to turn to whenever I begin to lose my way, I want to change it up a bit.

I was recently reading So Obsessed With and saw that, instead of a list of “shoulds” and “should nots”, Hannah decided to come up with things she wanted more and less of. I absolutely love this way of thinking, since it’s not necessarily a tangible thing that could be measured. If I can look back and think, “Yea, I did less of this thing I wasn’t happy with in the past, and more of this new thing that made me happy”, than I can consider myself successful.

Still drawing blanks?

That’s ok. It’s been a while. Something like 7 or 8 months. I said I was going on a temporary break and it turned into…an unplanned hiatus, of sorts. [Read more…]
