Dear readers and followers...

Anyone who follows me on Twitter or reads this blog on a regular basis will have realised that I've been having trouble with my commitment to this blog. I changed from Japanese to ethical fashion in the hope that the spark that I once had for this blog, would be reignited but alas that hasn't happened. I'm still keen on blogging but this blog has turned into a chore rather than a pleasure. There is soo much I'd like to change that I feel that starting from scratch may be a better idea. So with all this in mind I am taking a hiatus from this blog in order to decide whether to continue as a fashion blogger or whether to start from scratch as a non fashion blogger. I have no idea how long this will take but I know that it's needed. I tend to get bored easily and that may be the problem but only time will tell. I thank all my readers for comments and love over the past year and when I've decided what my future plans are you'll be the first to know.

Bye for now!

Faye

  2. Blogging shouldn't be a chore! I understand completely about figuring out what to focus on. Obviously I have no focus since my blog is all over the place :P But I'm not a very creative person so I really just have to blog about what I feel like at the moment. If I had a real "theme" I think I would feel so limited.

    Good luck in whatever you decide to do and we can continue to chat over Twitter :)

  3. Take all the time you need! I've found that it's easiest to not force yourself into any particular box or topic. You know G&G spans fashion, beauty, social media, blogging in general, etc. Maybe when you come back fresh you can just blog about whatever you feel like!

  4. I'm with V, take all the time you need! Just writing period comes from the heart and if your heart isn't in it, it's better to take some time to evaluate things than have it become a chore! I do hope you find that thing that reignites that passion and just know that the blogging community will always be here to help and support you! :)

  5. Take time to think about what you want to write and find the passion again. But don't get rid of your blog because you've worked long and hard on it and you never know how you'll feel in the future. Are you enjoying writing your online magazine more? The freedom of not writing in a niche has advantages.

  6. Hugs to you Faye. Yes take all the time you need...this should never feel like a chore. I hope you find the right outlet for you and I'm sure you will. All the best to you!

  7. I completely understand this and think you're doing the right thing. It's good to take a step back and get some focus, and your haitus is probably going to help you realize just what it is you love about blogging. I think the blog ultimately is about YOU, and you from what I gather, lovely Faye have MYRIADS of interests- so perhaps a more general focus is best for your inquiring mind. Anyhoo, we'll still be here when you get back. As readers, as friends. xo. -Bella Q

  8. You don't need to restrict yourself to one type of blogging or one particular subject. Write whatever you want, with time, you'll find that you have more fun writing about a subject: THEN you make it your main blogging subject :) It never feels like a chore if you don't restrict yourself and write about whatever you want.

  9. BTW, everytime I try to access your blog, I get a fishing warning and I get blocked from accessing it =S You might want to look into that

  10. I'm sorry to hear you're having blogger block! I had it bad right before Christmas of this year. I took a little break, refocused, and realized I wanted to start a fashion blog. You'll figure it out! Let us know when you do.
