I have been blogging for over ten years. In that time I have had many ups and downs. I started off using blogger. I had three different blogs and used a different name. I lost everything when someone took over my account. I learned a lot from that. Always change your passwords every few months.
After that, I used WordPress for my blogs. I liked it and was doing very well. WordPress changed the way the formatted the blogs and I was not happy with it. I was also careless. I ended up losing everything once again. Because of a technical problem.
Once again, I started blogging on Blogger. This time I used my read name with writer behind it. I have two blogs that I am very happy with. My writing blog is my poetry and short stories. I also have book reviews and writing tip articles. Writer Brenda Marie is a little over a year old. I do not have that much content on it. I moved last year and there was a lot going on. I plan on changing that this year.
My second blog The Spiritual Mystic, has articles about Reiki, dream, past life therapies, and spiritual protection. After years of trying different things, I believe, I have finally found what works for me. The proof is in the fact that I do not post often to either blog, but I still get views even when I am post posting regularly. I am also hoping to change that this year as well.
My blogs are on my happy list because after years of trying different things. I have finally figured out what works for me.

I am sure that since you found your place already and settled in then you will have more time to focus on writing. Personally, I write when I feel like writing and I post when I feel like posting. That works for me and my joy ?
Honestly, dear that is all I have ever really done.
I am sure with your nice office and that beautiful tree outside your house, you will have inspiration and reason to write. Hey, I will take another break so I will catch up with your posts when I get back. Thanks always for the support. Appreciated. Deeply ??✨
Have a nice break. I thank-you for your support as well. Good luck, in everything that you do.
That is something that I need to get better at doing: changing password and logging off
One needs to be careful. I learned the hard way. I have changed them often and use longer phrases plus ones
Very interesting. I have had many blogs but I only write two consistently. Ser un Tusitala in Spanish, and Halcombe Norilsk in English.
That is wonderful that you write in more than one language.
It was something I went through and I learned a lot from it.
It’s always great to experiment and figure out what works for you!
Sometimes it takes some people longer to figure it out.
Wow, you’re so experienced blogger, just great!!! To my mind, leading some different blogs is quite difficult.
It’s not easy, but I think with time and trying different things out everyone can find their way.
I have tried a number of places over the years. I’ve been blogging for nearly 15 years now. i find the best thing for me, is to write for me when it is personal.
professional stuff, i write for others.
I have found over my lifetime that writing for yourself seems to be the best way to write. There was I time when I tried to write professionally. I soon realized, I needed, to als write for myself or I would no be happy.
it is the best. I read a great book many years ago “Writing the Australian Crawl” that talked about that very thing. write for you!
Glad you finally found your bearings. I am still in a mess. I need to revamp my blog.
It took me a long time to realize that writing for myself was the way to go. There are like minded people out there.
