In a blogging rut.

Hey, dear readers. I’ve been very quiet around here lately, and I thought I’d explain my relative silence.

See, I feel like I’ve gotten into a blogging rut. I have a ton of books stacked up, waiting for review, and reading is starting to feel more like a chore and less like a pleasure. I even tried making myself a schedule, and after doing that, it occurred to me that trying to read within a structure is taking all of the fun out of it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve opened up a review draft on here and stared at it, trying to write but finding that I can’t.

So, I’ve decided that I need to take it easy for a while. If I just read for pleasure and read what I want, when I want, I think I’ll get out of this rut and back into the fun part of reading and reviewing. I’m still going to review books and hopefully write other posts when inspiration hits, but I’m not going to force myself. I’m going to have fun reading, and when I kick my brain back into gear, I’m going to have fun reviewing, too. :)

In good news, I’ve actually been writing fiction lately. I’ve been in a rut with that for a long time, so it’s wonderful to finally feel creative again.

If you want to keep up with my short-attention-span flailing, follow me on tumblr. I may be in a blogging rut, but I’m not in a reblogging rut. ;) I’m going to be on vacation next week, from June 21 through the 30th, so definitely expect radio silence from me then. And expect me to read books and write stories while looking out over Puget Sound. :D
