When You Feel Like Giving Up Blogging But Still Want To Continue Writing

I have witnessed a weird change in my thought process in last few weeks. It has been weird because it is forcing me to reconsider my passion for blogging. I know. I started blogging 5 years back and I have improved with every passing day. The progress has been slow. But it has always been positive.

I didn’t pay much attention to this blog due to my freelance writing gigs. The money is good. Really. I am writing for the likes of 1stWebDesigner, OneXtraPixel and Developer Drive. But, I feel like I am not doing my best. I can do a lot more. I know the readers of this article will be in single digits but sometimes you just feel like writing what is there inside you. I have given up on almost everything social in my life in order to earn money and improve my writing skills which is still far from being called “good.”

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t feel like giving up writing. It is just that I want to take the next step. Write for a newspaper, maybe. With my online writing gigs I am able to touch a section of this planet. The rest, who do not use Internet, are still not aware of my existence. I agree that my existence isn’t of any importance to many but at least I love myself. I understand things that I know will be of importance to others. I know I can write and reach that larger audience. I know I will. Someday.

As of now, I will try to approach few newspapers/magazines. The process is going to be very long. Very tiring because I am not looking for a full time gigs. This will be just the part time thing for me so as to test those waters. I really don’t know if I will be able to swim in the real world media. The virtual world is so lot different. And, I have enough experience here.

I really don’t know why I wrote this article. I mean, its of no use to my readers. But, its a change in me that I wasn’t expecting. I was assuming my sole target was being a famous blogger. It has now changed to being a writer. A writer who can jot down riveting lines. At least the core stays the same. I still want to write.
