Once again, we have more Q&A, and once again it’s that Mama Kat who can’t get enough.
She asks:
How often do you repeat outfits? Are you weird about that?
Every day. My mommy attire that I wear: yummy sweats, soft and worn tank, cozy sweatshirt.
Outside the house? I try to span things out, but sometimes I will wear the same thing twice in the same week if I love it that much, and I’m not going to be seeing the same people. Otherwise, I try to only wear the same thing at least once a month around the same people.
So, yes, I guess I am a little weird about that. Huh.
Is blogging still fun for you? Will you ever stop? How many followers will be enough? How does Jimmy feel about you blogging? Would you ever go to a blogging convention?
Blogging, which to me is really just writing, is always fun for me. But, now that I have a public website to put it on, it definitely made things change a little. For awhile I think I got a little lost in where I was going with it. While I am still sorting that out, I realize that not writing isn’t an option. It’s in me to do this. If I stopped, I think I would lose a part of me. While I may cut back from time to time, or change up the way I do things, quitting is not an option.
As for followers, this used to be a HUGE deal to me. Like, well…huge. I thought I was nothing, that my words and my story were nothing, if I didn’t have a certain number of people loving and publicly following my blog.
Now, I’m caring less and less.
Writing for me, initially, was never about my ego. It was never about achieving fame or incurring income. I can’t say enough that it was simply for the fact that I wanted to make a difference. That I wanted to use my writing to give laughter and hope.
I’m trying to get back to that.
Even if it means less followers or not as high of popularity. Ahhhh, High School, how I’ve missed you.
I just want to feel good about what I’m doing and why.
And the encouragement I have received, the affirmation, the emails….the love given by everybody who reads my blog is all I need to keep going.
In fact, I have even gone so far as to think about removing the followers gadget so that my # of followers is a mystery to all who come here.
I’m thinking about it. Just thinking. So, we’ll see.
As for Jimmy, he loves that I am back to writing again.
Blogging convention? Mmmmm….we’ll see. I’ll never say never.
If you tell Sera what BSF means you have to tell her how it started and our mutual love for Etsy and dead dads.
Okay, so are you ready for what BSF means?
Dang it. This post is already so freaking long….
And it’s such a good story. A HOT story. That it really needs your undivided attention.
I guess I’ll have to save it for tomorrow.

That was quite the cliffhanger there Summer! I loved the interview and definitely share your sentiment with blogging! It’s always been quality and not quantity for me.
DANG it! Of course you had to keep me guessing there at the end. I guess I’ll forgive you because you had me freaked out that you were actually going to STOP your blog after seeing that title, but now that I see you are not going to end it, I guess I can hang tight until tomorrow.
Great post and interview with Ms. Kat. Excited for your post tomorrow about BSF. I have had some thoughts as to what it means. I agree with you about blogging. I just do it for fun. Friends and family like to see pictures of what we are up to, or read my daily funny stuff. I don’t worry about followers or traffic. Take care.

You’re title panicked me. I thought you were leaving us! So glad you’re not. And I can’t get mad about your cliff-hanger ’cause I just finished up a 6 part post.
You are not wierd about wearing the same thing. I also have my comfy Mom clothing that I wear when I am not leaving the house or if I am going to Wal-mart or something. But otherwise, I try not to wear the same outfit twice in front of the same people ever if I can help it. If I don’t have a choice, I wait several months in between. Why? Who knows. It’s probably not that wierd. I hope. 🙂
When I started blogging I thought the followers concept was so cool. But then … that can be a lot of work. And I only wanted to have a little family blog that I can turn into a book for my family history. And the bottom line is, I blog for me. I think it is fun though to see other blogs and what other bloggers have to say on their blogs as well as comments they make on my own blog. It adds something and its fun.
Have a super day!
Geesh! I would like to be “in” with the “in crowd” and know what BSF means!
What a tease!
You are such a tease…..
