So About My Posting….

I have decided that I am no longer going to force myself to post on here. I mean, there are days where I just don’t feel like it, so the post winds up forced or skipped over altogether. It has nothing to do with MyLot itself, just that I have my writing orders and of course life outside of that, so I can’t be here all the time. Everyone I’ve talked to on here is pretty understanding of it though. :) But I’m just going to play it all by ear. I may want to make several posts on Monday and Tuesday, but wind up skipping it on Wednesday because I’m either busy or not up to it. I usually don’t post on weekends because I’m rarely on my laptop on the weekends (and sometimes I’m not online much in general). I’ll still be around of course, I just may not post something daily anymore. I think it’ll be better that way anyways. I won’t have to sit there trying to figure out what to post, and the posts will come more naturally and when I’m up to it. Sooo, I just wanted to put that out there. You all take care! :) Photo Credit: Pixabay.

I don't post everyday. Only when I find an interesting topic that I want to discuss. It's a good writing habit though to be able to post regularly.

I use it as a blog, so I don't always have an interesting topic. I just don't always feel like it, but I felt like I *should*.... and I'm changing that thought process.

@tammys85 _Maybe changing the mindset from "I should"(which is still hedging) to "I want or need too"?

@josie_ "I want to" is preferable, rather than "I need to" - I don't want it to feel like a chore lol.

I know how you feel. I have been absent for awhile but I had other things to do. At roughly a penny per discussion/response, this is not the most prolific money maker but I do like interacting with folks here. When I'm not busy with other things I am glad to come and socialize. I don't look upon myLot as a money maker anymore because I don't have the time to devote to it for that. It's more of a hobby. Enjoy your time away, stay busy and have fun, and peek in when you have some free time!

I like interacting too. MyLot isn't my main source of income, but there are people here I've known for a few years; we've gone through different websites together. I like to share, interact, etc., but there are some days where I'm either busy or just not up to it. Aw thanks. It's not really time away. I'll still be here, I just won't be making an actual post daily.

@PatZAnthony - A lot of people do, but it's more than time and ideas to me, it's also personal preference. Sometimes I just don't feel like it.

@Courtlynn I can understand if people don't have time though. But there are times when I do, but I just don't feel like posting.

Aw thanks. I'll still be here; just not daily. I'm kind of tired right now, so I'm not sure if I'm posting tonight. I'm kind of thinking of catching up on notifications and posting again in the New Year. :)

I interact every day, but I never wrote every day here, it's not necessary to write to stay in touch and have fun.

@LadyDuck Right. Once you feel obligated, it's not as fun anymore.

I used to feel like I should update 3-5 days a week, but now I'm just gonna do it when I feel like it.

@tammys85 This is what I do, when I feel that I want to share something I write, but I do not feel obliged to write.

I hear you Tammy. I may not post everyday, but I comment whenever I'm available to pave the way.

Yep. I do lose track of my notifications, but I try to stay on top of them. I just don't want to feel like I *have* to post M-F, which is a pressure I put on myself.

@KristenH Yep, it's better to do it when you want, and not when you have to force it.

@tammys85 Would you feel better just going into other people's posts for awhile and not post your own and just answer their posts?

Oh I did that the other day. :) Sometimes I don't post just so I can catch up with my notifications, and interactions in general.

@Hannihar Thanks. The way I look at it, if I stop posting for a bit to catch up, I don't have too many new comments coming in just yet.
