I think it's no surprise to my readers that this past school year has been stressful for me. I've wanted to quit my job and fantasized over what else I could do since about day one. I dreamed about one day
opening a cafe, I decided I want to
quit teaching and become a secretary, I had a
quarter-life-crisis, I dreamed about being
respected and valued as an educator, and I wanted to
move to New York where I could be purely myself. In the midst of my career-crisis, I determined to try to find an alternate way for me to make some income, perhaps working from home or doing freelance work.
I thought I could spend the summer and try to build up my blog, transfer it over to wordpress, try to get more followers and sponsors, and generate enough income to become a full-time blogger. But that idea has gone out the window. Why? I've got blogger block.
I have zero ideas for posts, and when I do come up with ideas, I feel like they are worthless or pointless. And the blogosphere is already so saturated with blogs and lifestyle content, what do I have to offer? Plus I am so drained from the school year that I don't think I have it in me to generate new and creative content every day.
So now I'm at a loss. I don't know what to do. Should I even continue my blog? Should I start a new one? Should I keep it as it is - somewhat of a scrapbook/journal of my life?
This sucks.
I still want to work for myself, but I don't have confidence that I could make it work and bring in enough revenue to sustain us, at least enough for me to quit my job.
As the great Tina Fey would say, "Blerg."
