Creatively challenged - Does this blog have a future?


I guess everybody no matter what they do have periods in their life when they are challenged and have to consider whether to put something away and bring an end to a part of their life.

Over the last couple of months I have been considering whether to continue with my blog.

I have found it difficult not only to find the time and energy to write but also subjects and issues to write about seem to be more elusive. There are lots of stuff I read or hear about that could be a subject to write about but in many areas I feel commenting too much puts me in danger of becoming a hypocrite. Also the breadth of topics that pop up as ideas seems to have narrowed over the last year and I don't want to sound like I am banging on the same drum again and again. Part of this narrowing has been self imposed, having a new job I am reluctant to write about things in this area so early in my career.

Paradoxically at the same time as having less to write about I have lots of new creative ideas in terms of photo studies, thoughts and words, even some video ideas. Frustratingly these creative ideas will take even more time than 'normal' blog posts to put together and would mean putting stuff on new platforms or blogs.

So I am in a place of not really knowing what do with this thing I have created - fingerinallthepies - what do you think?

I would welcome your comments, thoughts and encouragement for the future.

Seventy Eight Days later...

... 78 days since I sat in front of this computer, considering what I could write on my blog.

So what has been going on over the last 2-3 months?
In a word, WORK, full on, overwhelming, challenging, stretching, working late almost everyday.

On top of that home life has been pretty full on too.

Reviewing my blog I still have 22 posts in draft form and I haven't even being adding new ideas. So creativity is not the issue for me, rather it is the time and space to be able to share my thoughts and ideas.

The one thing I hope for from Christmas is a bit of space to finally be able to gather my thoughts and decide on the future of this blog do I have more to share or not...

I don't know what others may think but I think I may have more to offer.
