I have also reached a good place in my blogging where I don't feel pressure to blog all the time and I feel much more relaxed and happier with my blogging life than I did in my first year. (It's soooo awesome that you have been blogging for four years, by the way!!) And I've also been trying to interact more on Twitter... and mostly failing. Don't know how some people make it seem so easy! I just suck at all social networking.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877379041758656043.post-75297348729186971992013-05-26T20:37:00.036-07:002013-05-26T20:37:00.036-07:00I love the replying to comments!

I don't think I could ever update as frequently as some people do, but I'm perfectly okay with that. It's also brilliant to hear that you've been blogging for nearly four years. That's quite an achievement! :)Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877379041758656043.post-72549416408905900392013-05-24T17:15:25.300-07:002013-05-24T17:15:25.300-07:00Awesome goals!

It's hard to not get stressed out by blogging, but I think I manage to find a balance. I don't know how people post 5+ a day and hold down a regular job/school/life, etc. I am trying to have a post for most days during the month of May and it is REALLY tough. I think you do a good job though, especially with school and all! I hope you have a good weekend!Christina / Book Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661826027260861430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877379041758656043.post-6339367658912269972013-05-24T11:35:25.333-07:002013-05-24T11:35:25.333-07:00Blogging is much more fun when you keep it relaxed...Blogging is much more fun when you keep it relaxed :)<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by, Juju!

I'm lucky now that I have a queue of reviews already written and ready to go for a few months, just helping me get back in the swing of things. But, the moral of the story is really just to keep going at your own pace. Love these both, and I love your blog!
