A week or two ago the awesome Pat Garcia nominated me for the Liebster Award. As always, I felt very honored. But I haven't taken up the task of answering any of the questions Pat has set aside for me and because of this reason, I don't think I can accept this award. Sorry to disappoint you, Pat. I just don't feel up to it.
And for that exact reason, I won't be accepting any other blogging awards, or partaking in any other blog hops aside for the IWSG. I have decided to make things easier for me. I don't want to take on anything and not be able to see it through. Sorry if I'm disappointing anyone.
Some good news though. I wrote 1900 words today. It was great! I think breaking my writing up into smaller sessions helped today.
I hope all is going well with you my blogging friends. Let me know in the comments.
Sounds like you're right on track and doing what is best for you. Sometimes we need to not get involved in everything that is going on around us. Congrats on your writing and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mason. Will do. I feel inspired:)
DeleteDo what you feel up to doing.
ReplyDeleteAwesome word count!
Thank you, Alex.
DeleteHi Murees - I'm not good with awards either ... love them, but they do sidetrack one. Well done on writing so much ... keep on: it's good to concentrate ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hilary:)
Delete1900 words is awesome! Keep at it, go at your own pace, and enjoy the process. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Madeline:) Now that the pressure is off, I am enjoying it.
DeleteI see a lot of blogs that are award-free blogs for that reason. It's just a lot of pressure! But I'm sure she's happy to give you the award anyway! I'm switching to one-day-a-week blogging once my blog tour is over. Blogging is great, but I don't see that much benefit to blogging three days a week and I'd rather put that extra effort toward reading blogs!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephanie. I agree. I'm considering once a week too. And you are so right, so much pressure.
DeleteGood work, Murees. Take good care of you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nicola.
DeleteKudos on the 1900 words. And if you did everything that went by, you'd never have time to write.
ReplyDeleteThank you, LD. Very true:)
DeleteI know exactly how you feel. I accepted the Liebster Award twice already and went through all the steps. It takes a while. When I got nominated a third time, I was too busy writing my own posts and guest posts for a book tour and just couldn't do it. I don't think anyone minds too much. I don't think anyone I nominated took me up on answering my questions, and that is fine. It feels much better to work on your own writing anyway.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tamara. You are right. It does feel good to be working on my own writing again. These days my time is so much more precious.
DeleteGlad your writing is progressing Murees. Congratulations on getting the Liebster Award.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
Thank you, Deanie. Happy weekend to you as well.
DeleteIt's good to put your priorities in order.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read you're writing again. I write extremely slow. So I try to set a low goal of 1K a day. That works for me, and doesn't stress me out if I can't make that goal. I usually take the weekends off.
Thank you, Cathrina. I've started to take the weekends off too. Somehow, the less I stress, the more I get done.
DeleteOh, by the way---1900 words is very impressive!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was chuffed with it too:)
Deletecutting back on blogging helps free up time for writing when the mood is right - glad to hear you got some words down! keep at it, we're rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tara. You are awesome.
