Until Tomorrow…

Hey everybody,

I come to you all today with some news. Not sure if it’s bad or good, to be honest. I can say this though, I’m pretty bummed and I’ve been this way for a few days now. I think I have come to a crossroads of if I want to carry on with this blog. I know it was not more than a few posts ago that I was mentioning how motivated that I was and how I have big plans for the future, but something recently has tainted my lust for blogging.

My annual renewal for my site comes up on the 28th of this month, and I have a few days to digest all this so I will use that time to determine the future of Earth to Ash.

Just wanted to thank you for being so loyal and I’ll be back soon with my intentions one way or the other. I appreciate every one of you as followers and as friends too. It’s a very tough time, I hope it all works out.

Until…

  2. Oh goodness Ash. I read your post, and couldn’t help but peer over at today’s date on my laptop. The clock is definitely counting down on your decision. Even with my VIVID imagination, I can’t fathom what could have possibly dampened your ‘lust for blogging.’

    I’m not saying this because I’m still so gung-ho about blogging myself either. Just the other day, I thought about the future when it comes to blogging, and briefly wondered how long I’ll continue. There wasn’t any particular reason for doing so however, I’m just such a “new and different” sort of person that I need to refresh what I’m passionate about doing with my time, regularly.

    Please know that I’m 100% behind whatever you decide. You’ve been a great blogging pal on WordPress, and so will be missed. Personally, I love all that you’ve posted, and here’s the reason why.

    You post what you feel makes your blog a meaningful entity, or at least it seems so. I know that you’ve attempted several directions, which I feel are still very much Ash. So whether you want to try something new on Earth to Ash for another year, or throw in the towel all together, good on you!!!

    1. Thanks Laura, we don’t chat much, but I see you from time to time with the likes. I appreciare every one. Maybe this is a funk, maybe, but it’s comments like this would make it super hard to walk away from. Take care.

  4. I hate it when I can see there is something going on with another person yet there’s not much I can do. I’ve reached out to people in the past to ask if everything was alright, and every time they would say: “Yea, yea” and then promptly vanish. I’m glad that you are at least forthcoming about your reservations.
    We all go through phases when we want to abandon blogging for a multitude of reasons. I won’t tell you not to leave, because I don’t know what’s going on inside your head. Therefore, I don’t know the right decision for you. I will say that my blogging experience would definitely be impacted by your departure.
    Like Laura said – can’t you just get this blog reverted to the basic account? (I’m not sure of the technicalities behind your specific site.)
    Ask yourself this: “What was my goal when I first started blogging?” Really try and hone in on that. Then, ask yourself what your goal NOW would be. It’s OK to change those answers. This is your space and you do what you want. IF it brings you something that you need.
    Just let us know.

    1. Wow, I’m floored at this response. I had to take some time to reply because it was late when I saw this. First, I have to say thanks so much for being one of my dearest writer friends, we’ve been back and forth for some time now and it’s one of the reasons I love blogging. You’ve been a huge supporter of my work and the feeling is mutual toward our respective blogs. To take the time to write me a message like that means a lot to me and like I said before makes it extremely hard to just walk away. I hope whatever this is passes, but for now, I am going to take what you wrote and reflect on it. Thanks for this, and I’m very lucky to have you as a friend. Have an awesome day and Ill be in touch. 😀

      2. Oh sorry, I was having a hard time and almost walked away from my blog. Then, after much thought, I realized I couldn’t leave something that means so much to me behind and the people I’ve met along the way. My bad lol
