Blogging isn't as fun as it used to be

I'm getting less motivated to keep up with blogging. So I've done it for almost a year now, but I find that more and more, it's a chore rather than something I'm excited about. This past Sunday was one year on this blog. Not very many people read it, and virtually no one comments. Part of the problem is that I don't read very many other blogs, but who has time? So I don't know if it's worth it to keep posting here for my own piece of mind.

My other blog has a decent readership, but I'm finding that it's getting harder to come up with good material. And I can't really capitalize fully on the readership. I started out with a Word file full of great posts for the other blog, so I wouldn't have to write regularly, but I could write posts as they came to me and still publish on a regular schedule. The problem is that now I am at a point where I've said many of the things that I want to say, and I don't have time to develop the ideas to say more. I'm often just going through the motions. Plus, the other blog is on WordPress.com, which won't let me post ads. So this blog, which has a very small readership has ads that no one clicks on while the other blog that has a great readership can't have ads. I've thought about moving it over to Blogger, but I'm not sure how much traffic it gets from WordPress.com tags. I may do a mirror blog to see how it goes.

In the meantime, I'm contemplating a hiatus.
