For some, blogging is probably a chore. Once you start it, it’s not an easy thing to quit (at least if you have a plan and that plan involves your blog somehow making you a thought leader and more importantly, making you money). For me, it’s not a chore because if it were, it would be the most neglected chore possible.
So what is it? Well, the past few months have been busy, but not to the point that I didn’t think about blogging (at least 5 times a day, not exaggerating here). I thought about what I would write about, how much I could share with young professionals, how sarcastic most of the posts would be and ultimately I thought about how much I missed it.
Thankfully, I never attributed my lack of visits to www.fischer510.com as some kind of professional failure. The truth is, if my mom (and one or two other readers) didn’t have the chance to read my blog posts every day, that means they probably had time to talk to me at events, see an occasional tweet or better yet in the case of my mom, text and try to skype me until she finally succeeded.
So, my blog will probably take on a little less professional and a little more ‘Megan’ in the next few months (which at the rate I am going could mean one spectacular post). But know this – even when my posts make absolutely no sense to everyone in the blogosphere, they make a ton of sense to me. I love to write (especially when I don’t have to consult the AP Style Guide every two minutes). It’s a passion. It’s a release for me and it’s a release that clearly this summer (I took an extended summer, okay people) I needed badly, but not as badly as I needed a break.
Moving forward I will not promise anything about my blog. I won’t say – hey guys, look for a post every other day – or even once a week. Instead, I am making blogging more about fun and less about another item on my to-do list which needs some serious help at the moment. I bought this yesterday in Lake Geneva with money I absolutely do not have to buy things like this. I put it in my office to remind me how incredibly important it is that I continue to be absolutely ridiculous.

I love that quote - great purchase! And I'm so glad to see you're back, even if it's sporadic and ridiculous.
Great to see you writing again Megan! I think it's healthy to take a laid back approach - you can't force inspiration; sometimes it just needs to simmer with other lessons, life experiences and wisdom before it's prime!
