The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

As some of you know, I've been attempting to take out more time in my life to participate in personal hobbies and such, and this choice is making it difficult for me to blog and interact with other bloggers the way I have been previously.

I know this isn't an unusual dilemma as many other bloggers have struggled with the same issue, but it's stressful nonetheless. I consider the online community and my readers as friends who I've interacted with on a daily basis for over a year now, so it's not easy to slow down on blogging.

I'm still struggling with how I should go about maintaining my blog - how many times per week I should post; and, checking my emails has become more and more infrequent for me as well. I'm definitely taking Friday and the weekend off from writing articles, leaving only the OTA open trackback thread up during that time (so that means an extra day of trackbacking). I will probably also post one or two open trackback articles during the week to give people more opportunities to share their work.

As for writing articles, I haven't been feeling up to it as much for about a month now (perhaps I've hit a burnout stage, or something), and I'm not sure what to do about that.

The only thing I can think to do is post articles more randomly, and offer you the chance to become a blogger at this site. If you think you'd like to add your voice to this blog, please email me and mention your desire. Of course, there is no pay in it, but you may find some other form of satisfaction in being a part of a wonderful online community.

I don't have any restrictions at this point on what can be written here, so please email if you're interested in posting a few times per week and, in the email, please explain the sort of writing you would like to do (ranting/raving, political, random thinking/observations, celebrity stuff, etc.).

In the meantime, I'll post when the mood strikes me (or when the moonbats p*ss me off), so be sure to check back here from time to time, and hopefully my mojo will come back to me after a bit of a break.

I apologise to all my faithful reader friends, but perhaps the break will do me good to come back full of the 'p*ss and vinegar' I've been missing lately.
