Sometimes it becomes more than a hobby and people forget it's meant to be something we do for fun!<br /><br />:/ plagiarism though, ugh, why?

But I do also understand the way that a blog can sort of spiral out of control before you quite realize it. And if there's any interest in monetizing or shifting the blog from hobby to something more, those pressures can feel like a lot more. There's lots rolled into these conversations, but we do all need to reminded that, in the end, this is all supposed to be fun :) Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09240085627916462704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-86592935752333838032015-02-27T00:26:46.033-08:002015-02-27T00:26:46.033-08:00Ugh, didn't hear anything about the recent pla...Ugh, didn't hear anything about the recent plagiarism issues. That sucks. On another blog I run I've had people plagarize things a couple of times, and mostly people have responded well and have just taken down the posts. But one women said "Oh I never finished editing that." As if every article starts with a copy that you then reshape? I think she has a different idea of the meaning of editing than I do...<br /><br />I also agree...don't get stressed about blogging. As soon as you notice it's not that fun or is somehow effecting you negatively, just stop, take a break, rethink your strategy. Same goes for just about everything in life though I think.nikki @bookpunkshttp://www.bookpunks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-15537935711416132982015-02-26T16:23:07.560-08:002015-02-26T16:23:07.560-08:00I LOVE THIS POST.

I sometimes see bloggers stress over all kinds of stuff; they want to reread books but don't have the time, because they have to read books for their content, they don't have a post scheduled yet, they haven't posted 700 times a week, etc. It's important to realize it's a hobby and that you aren't being forced to do anything. Sometimes it's good to take a step back, breathe and let go.Mel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-43844706683783880072015-02-26T11:51:00.481-08:002015-02-26T11:51:00.481-08:00Amen!

What?! No one's making you accept more ARCs than you can possible read, no one's making you write a book blog, no one's making you post 5 times a week, etc, etc. If it's your hobby, you enjoy reading and you also enjoy writing about books, then isn't that all that matters? Or do people secretly want to be the next big blog? Brie @ A Slice of Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445361407533018855noreply@blogger.com
