Blogging lulls

James Wigderson tonight notes that I Am The Force has gone on hiatus. These things seem to happen in waves during periods of time where there seems to be a lull in blog worthy topics. You'll see several bloggers go on hiatus or quit around the same time. It is easy to understand why. Blogging is very enjoyable, but I think everyone goes through periods where the rewards don't seem as high and writing new material seems to take more effort than normal. When your writing isn't done to pay the bills, this matters tremendously. It is during those times that it is easy to have second thoughts about blogging altogether. There is something to be said about slogging through those times, though. You usually snap out of them rather suddenly, and just as suddenly the rewards of blogging seem brighter than ever.

This is not to say that this is why I Am The Force took some time off. I don't know why he took off-it could be that his personal life is crazy right now. Still, it wouldn't surprise me to see some other bloggers take some time off or quit in the near future. I'd still recommend to anyone that is thinking about doing so to stick with it, though.
