The Pros & Cons of Blogging



Day 2: My Pros & Cons of Blogging

I'm joining in on the New Year's Challenge, which is being hosted over at Parajunkee! Each day, we'll have a new post.  Today is all about the pros and cons of blogging

Pros:


  • All the awesome bloggers I've met!
  • Interacting with authors!
  • Feeling like someone out there cares what I have to say.
  • Free books!
  • Exposure to LOTS of books I otherwise would have never known about.
  • The great feeling I get when someone compliments a review or my blog in general.

Cons:


  • Time. (I had no idea when I started how much it would take!)
  • Pressure to keep up and grow my blog (all self-inflicted).
  • Time. (Did I say that already?)
That about sums it up.  I LOVE blogging, even if it does take up a lot of my free time.  My one year blogoversary is coming soon and I can't wait for another fantastic year!

I can't decide whether fellow bloggers or the indie authors have been more awesome since I started blogging. I agree with everything you said, especially that special feeling when I see a new comment pop up.

(Though when it's spam...something inside me dies.)

I think that everyone should be given an extra hour in the day to get all the **** done. It's weird how much more time goes into running a blog than just reading and writing the review.

Congrats on your upcoming one year blogoversary! I'm struggling with the time issue as well, so would love that extra hour in the day that erlessard mentioned! :)
