Hello, hello, hello!
Look at me, actually publishing things – how swish! I’m so glad to be back, I’ve truly missed posting and sharing my thoughts with you guys. I’m back and ready to share what I’ve been working on over the past few weeks with you. I didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped, I’ll admit, but taking the pressure of having to post off has helped a lot. I’ve had the time to re-evaluate what I’m doing, work out what isn’t working and how to fix it.
Good for you Ro, but why should we care?
Well, I’ll hopefully be posting more regularly and with higher quality content. Iβve been thinking about how to achieve this, knowing how damn lazy I am and what little time I have. Iβm struggling to find a perfect solution, but I think cutting down how often I post, just for now, is a good idea. I rarely managed to post on βFandom Fridayβ anyway. So hereβs whatβs going to happen:
- Iβm keeping Review Wednesday as is. Itβs the one day I manage to keep up with, and doing a weekly review is good for me.
- Iβm not posting on Monday and Friday any more. Instead, Iβm doing Saturdays, at least right now. Maybe Iβll go back to Monday-Wednesday-Friday again soon but for now I need to know my limits and work around my schedule better.
What will the result be?
Well, Iβm hoping to produce better quality, longer posts that are closer to what I want to be putting out into the world. I have some strong opinions (I am a strong woman, after all β comes with the territory) and there are things Iβm always saying βI could write an essay on thisβ; so why donβt I? I want to have less posts that I see as βfillerβ compared to what I want to put out. Look forward to seeing more creative pieces, more think pieces, and of course more reviews.
Okay, what else?
I want to be around more. I feel like Iβve been a terrible Teacup lately, abandoning my beloved chat just as Mama Teacup has FINALLY come back to blogging (catch BreannaΒ over at Too Cute For Life). I want to engage with the blogging community more, especially my favourite bloggers, & I hope that in getting more organised Iβll have more time to get on to twitter chats, meetings etc. and read more blogs. Once I have a better schedule properly in place I might put one night aside a week specifically to get reading & commenting on more blogs. You canβt expect people to like you if you donβt give anything back, right?
One last little thing. I think Iβm gonna be more relaxed about taking breaks β taking two weeks to plan and knock a few posts out has been really good for me & hopefully the blog. Iβm not going to be scared any more about stopping if I need to β in blogging what Iβve learnt is that quantity is good but quality is better.
Anyway, thatβs the plan. Iβm getting my butt into gear and working it out β I hope youβre as excited about it as I am.
See you soon.

Welcome back, lovemuffin. β€
I figured you had taken a break, so I wasnβt too surprised to read that thatβs what you ended up doing. Iβm so glad youβre trying ti work with your schedule instead of trying to work around it. Iβm also glad youβre getting better about taking breaks. Those are two things I had trouble with those two things before I took a break and made it work for myself.
Iβm excited to see whatβs in store for your blog. (γ»βγ»)

Hey you! I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles w/ making it work and taking breaks – it’s so easy to feel guilty when I don’t post and that only leads to me just feeling more disinclined to do anything! I gotta chill sometimes! I’m excited to see what happens too & hopefully get to Teacup Club meetings & chats more, I miss talking to you guys properly π¦ :3

Aw welcome back! I too have abandoned the chats (I’ve only taken part once π¦ ! ) but I guess sometimes we just need to take blogging at the pace we want and create what we want when we want. Regular posting and presence can help with engagement but I’ll always put my happiness and enjoyment first π so I’m glad you’re more relaxed now, hope everything goes to plan! xx

This is so true! My happiness and health (and unfortunately job) go first, but I am glad to be back! Hopefully we’ll both get better at getting to the chats and I’ll see you there! π
