Hey, y'all!
As you may (or may not) have noticed, I have been absent for an extended amount of time. I have a couple excuses for that-- one, school has been the dictator over my life for the past few months. It's a harsh master, but I'm conquering! I'm finishing up my current semester of college, and I'm taking the summer off from school. Which means I might have some things to share with y'all during those few blissful months. I'm not totally sure though, since the second reason I haven't been blogging is tied to that.
I've lost a lot of drive to take pictures for my photo stories. I've never really enjoyed taking the pictures for my blog, but I usually enjoy the writing process. I'm not a photographer-- I'm a writer. My inspiration to blog has disappeared. I've felt really relieved these past couple months to not have the pressure to post on my shoulders, which makes me wonder if I should just not blog at all.
But then I get kind of sad at the thought of not posting on this blog anymore. I'm not saying that I'm quitting right now or anything, but I'm saying I have seriously considered it (not trying to "scare" you guys or make you say "Oh, don't leave!" I'm just sharing my thought process). I've even gotten to the point where I told Emma and Jaclynn that I was going to stop, but now I'm second guessing that decision as well!
Soooo... I'm at an impasse I guess.
Also, another idea I have been toying with is if I should reveal to y'all who I really am. There are things that I want to do (make some videos specifically), and it might be more fun if I was completely myself, rather than some alter-ego. Even if I did reveal my identity, I would still go by Ginger Spice and would keep my blog's name. So no worries!
What are you thinking? Are you saying, "Yes! I want to know who you are!"? Or are you thinking, "It doesn't matter to me. I don't really care!"? Or maybe even, "Don't do that! You wouldn't be Ginger Spice anymore!"?
So anyways, this is what has been happening for me for the past few months. Leave me a comment below, and just let me know what your thoughts are concerning all this stuff I just laid on you. I won't be expecting any comments for a while, since I've been gone for so long, but if anyone is there (yes, YOU) then leave me a comment.:)
XOXO Ginger Spice
Okay, first, I wouldn't mind at all if you revealed your identity! You'd still be Ginger Spice, so it would be fine! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, since you don't really like photography, maybe you could just write stories about your dolls?
I still read your blog and I hope you start posting again! :)
~Christian Homeschooler
Thanks for that, Christian Homeschooler.:) I really appreciate that (somehow) you're still here! I think I might just do what you said, about writing stories. It would probably be a lot more fun than what I'm doing now.:P
DeleteI still read and like your blog, and though I would be sad if you stopped blogging, it wouldn't be good if you did it just to please your readers. As for revealing your identity, it's basically how private you want your name and stuff to be. I think it would be kind of fun to know you name, but I don't really care. :) You don't have to take photos, do what's fun for you! :)

Thank you so much, CutePolarBear! It means a lot to me that you still visit my blog.:) I don't have an alias for privacy, really. It was just something fun that I decided to do (though credit for the idea goes to Emma). And yeah, I might just write... I don't know yet!
DeleteI have some advice for you. Don't feel pressured by anybody to do anything. You can make your own decisions because then you'll know exactly what's best for YOU, not anybody else. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, American Girl Lover for your advice! I'm sure that I'll make the right decision for me.
DeleteHey, girl! It's totally your decision. I would probably keep the blog and then just post when I felt like it. I would like to know who you are, but it's ok if you don't want to say. :)

Hey, Morgan! If I decided that I didn't want to keep blogging, I would still keep my blog up. I don't have any reason to take it down!:) And we'll just have to wait and see what happens concerning my identity.;)
DeleteI hope you continue blogging and I love your creative posts! I do think it would be nice if could reveal yourself- I think it would allow us to get to know you better and so you can be more "yourself" on the blog. If you don't want to reveal yourself it's fine but I think it's an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much, Anonymous.:) I really appreciate your lovely comment. I'm contemplating my decisions here...
DeleteAwww! I really hope that you don't stop blogging -- both my sister and I check your blog every other morning. It's one of our favorites.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel that it would be OK to show you face, I think it would be fun to have a better picture of what you look like!
Since you like writing, may I suggest that you start a writing blog?
Also, I'm actually doing this thing called Camp NaNoWriMo, and you basically set a word count goal and try to write that many words in a month. The next session is this Jul.y: ) I have a few other online friends (they don't know each other) who might be doing it with me, so I'm going to start a private cabin. If you want to do it, you'd be welcome to join my cabin!
Thank you so much, Kathleen! I'm very touched by your comment.:) I just might start a writing blog. I've thought about it before, and it could be fun! And thank you for your offer. I just might take you up on it.:)
DeleteYou're welcome. :) I would be very sad if you stopped blogging altogether.
DeleteI would really love if you did! I think you're quite a good writer, and even if it wasn't about dolls I'd still love reading it.
Haha, ok. If you decide you want to, then you can make an account and then massage me on there to tell me, and I'll add you. Alright? I'm waiting to hear back from my friends, but there is one girl who is about your age.
Also, I realized that I never added my CaNaNo username. -_-
DeleteIt's Kathleen Murphy, being the name of one of my favorite book characters, hence the last name being different.
Thanks a lot, Kathleen!:)
DeleteYou already know this, but I would love for you to keep posting! Even if you just wrote and didn't post pictures, I'd be fine with that :) Also, I think it would be really neat if you revealed who you are, so that everyone can kinda know you a little better. But of course it is your decision. Don't feel pressured to stay. You have to choose what's best for you and what makes you happy :)

Thanks a lot, Jaclynn.:) I really appreciate your kind words. I'm still kind of figuring out what I want to do.
