@ Durano: *smiles* Thank you Durano. I have to admit I feel really guilty about not updating and if anything that just makes the pressure to write even greater. I’m a writer by trade but sometimes I still struggle against these inner demons that send me running as far and fast away from the page as possible. It feels like a little death inside when I’m not writing. I’ve been a little dead for a month now. *sighs* I guess I need the encouragement and courage to push ahead and get over this slump. It will happen, and then my blog will be back and perhaps the posts will be refreshed and empowered.

I still do my rounds with Entrecard and I’ve found a few really great sites thanks to my wanderings and card dropping. I’ve often wondered how many Entrecarders aren’t just a drop and run kind of carder. There are so many interesting blogs around that it’s actually difficult to keep up with them all so I’m grateful for those that don’t update every day.

Alas, it’s time to get the day started here. I’ve got to chase my kids around the house and get them to school before I can come back to the keyboard and try to force myself to work today.

Thanks for your support.

I’ll link you in my blogroll so I won’t miss your site when I make my rounds! –Durano, done!

There are bloggers who have developed a community of readers and who somehow expect regular updates. It can be very difficult to post daily especially if you have to earn a living, make a home, and travel at the same time. There are also those who have to deal with other people’s problems as a regular job and it takes a lot out of them physically and mentally.

I subscribe to what you wrote in the comment box in response to a readers comment. As you might know, there is an unwritten courtesy (others have posted it on their sites) such as “You Comment, I Respond”; or “You Comment, I Follow” or both. I normally do both, even if I don’t have it posted on my site.

When some bloggers are so busy or have pressing matters to attend to, they make a post to inform readers of these without having to make an apology.

I have blogger friends from Australia and they count me as one of their regular readers as I count them as mine, although regular does not really mean everyday but at least twice a week.

You can count on me as a regular reader of your site after having dropped my Entrecard on your site a number of times. Your site is one of the few that I found interesting. See you again! Durano, done!

Writing something directly from my heart, like the post above takes very little effort compared to the detailed posts I usually make. I couldn’t manage a ‘real’ post and felt my readers deserved more than a blank page, again.

Thank you so much for your comments and insight Rudy. It’s good to see you again.

Good to see you back. I read somewhere (Problogger or Skelliewag) that you don’t have to apologize for being absent. It is your blog, you can do whatever you want with it. You may just want to drop a quick one sentence note in a comment. But, all you really need is to get back into regular posting. Anyway, good luck with your assignments!
