2 Comments...when I feel discouraged about writing, my Etsy store and just plain creating. Usually this happens because the blog isn't getting enough hits or I'm not selling much on Etsy. I start to believe that my writing is crap or my items aren't great.
Then...suddenly...my views skyrocket and sales increase! I get an excitement for my projects again and I attack them full force.
There's buttons that I can press to get this excitement without having to wait for other people's response to my writing etc. Literally, buttons. They're on the right hand side of my blog...under the "Blog Roll" title. Their blogs that I look up to, that have challenging and interesting entries and that are constantly encouraging their readers to be creative and inovative.
Today I've written an entry for a blog contest, the subject being "who inspires me". Take a look at the entry!

I like that type of motivation. We all get discouraged to the point of wanting to quit, but if we keep an eye on the people ahead of us and realize they probably went through the same things we did, the road doesn't seem as bumpy.

I realized quite some time ago that it is important to motivate myself if I wanted to continue blogging. There were also times when I thought that my blog was the last thing that I cared about, but there were also times when I wanted to get a microphone and tell everybody that I owned a blog.
And yeah, participating in blogging contests and group-writing assignments really put the fun back into blogging :D
