So this year has just absolutely been difficult, to say the least.
If anyone is wondering: yes, bloggers do get writer's block even when they're just blogging or reviewing. I lost MAJOR interest this year in my blog, which absolutely tore at me every day. I kept up with my reading but I just could not, for the life of me, write a review without it being so difficult to do. Sigh, it's nice to be able to admit this finally. I think I reached burn out levels and writer's block. I finally feel that all lifting and I'm starting to gain interest in doing my blog again. I also faced some computer issues. I bought a new graphic's card (used, but new to me) in the summer. I am PC gamer, love my video games (thank you Sims 4 and other games for eating up my depression and writer's block). I had issues with the fans on this, but my computer savvy best friend figured out the issue. However, my case was just too small for the bigger card. I laid BlackBird case to rest (RIP 2014-2019) and have introduced Black Widow (because I like spiders). So far, it's been all happy. Then my hard drive died. Which was so stressful and terrifying. And expensive. Two SSD's later, and I'm up and running again. Saving for an exhaust fan and a hard drive now. Then all my blog stuff on my USB memory stick is gone because it up and died last night. Good thing I was feeling like my blog could use some new graphics. The loss of the banner is a bit sucky though :( but I might still be able to recover it if it hasn't corrupted. So there you have it, my year in a nutshell. Many apologies to the authors awaiting posts, I am going to do my best to work on those as much as I can. I won't burn myself out to do it but patience is greatly appreciated. My main focus now is reviews, to squish as many as I can into December and January as I can. No more of this falling behind deal! 2020 Blogging I'm going to stick with the PopSugar Reading Challenges. It makes reading so much less of a task. I will still make time and room for reviews, never to worry. I will even squeeze a couple into the reading challenge prompts where I can. I will be cutting back author interviews to once a month. These spots are very limited. Featured Books will remain the same, twice a month (sometimes three if the month allows it.) The authors who I missed in my author interviews (Featured Author) and my Featured Books will get first spot. I will also be posting my favourite book(s) from the month, this will include review books and my reading prompts. And we'll throw updates and fun posts about as I feel up to it. Again, thank you to those who have been patiently waiting. I'm slow as turtle but I am determined too. - Leticia
