Thinking of quitting

Lately, I've been a little bummed about this whole blogging thing. Although it's been pretty fun, I feel like I'm shouting out to nobody, and it's disheartening when I work so hard at it and don't feel like it's rewarding at all. A few days ago, one of my profs asked me to pull up my blog for the class, and then proceeded to tell everyone why my color scheme was terrible, what was wrong with my design, and how Blogger was a bad choice because it can't be customized; nevermind that some people don't have a cushy budget and can't afford the entire Adobe design suite or their own domain name, etc. My blog is something personal, and sharing it and then tearing it down just makes me want to quit. 

So, I guess I'm not sure yet. It's been a good journey, but I don't know if I have the time and energy to put into a project that I'm not getting anything out of. 

Thanks for staying with me.

  1. Don't quit! I DO read your blog, I'm just terrible at remembering to comment on blogs once I'm done reading them. And the thing is, your blog is personal, so who gives a damn about your color scheme? It's the content that matters on a blog.
