FF Friday: In Which I Give Mediocre Advice


Feature & Follow is a weekly blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

This week’s question: How do you cure a book hangover/blogging slump/reading slump?

Answer: I push through it. I force myself to pick up the next book or write the next blog post. It’s worked so far. The slump goes away when I find a really cool book or write a post about a topic that interests me. My advice for curing a slump is to keep going and have faith that the slump will work itself out.

  1. When I am in a slump I take like 2 or 3 days off, watch some TV or something then just get back at it. It eventually clicks!

  3. That's usually what I have to do. I just have to keep pushing and pushing myself until I finally break through that barrier! Old follower!

  4. Here here. I like your post title because it made me laugh, but I also don't think it is medicre advice because, shrug, life goes on, amiright? You'll do it if you're going to do it and forcing yourself, unless you're getting paid, doesn't usually lead to anything good.

  6. You and I are similar in this way. I'm very stubborn so I just power through too. But I've seen some great ideas on other blogs like taking a day off from reading, or going back to an old favorite that you know you loved. Old follower.

  7. I do the same thing! First a take a minute to think about how the book made me feel, then I'll compartmentalize and force myself to move on. Reading multiple books helps with that because I'm never starting fro scratch which is hard sometimes.

  10. I actually like this advice, because honestly, it is what I do too! I find that if I am in a slump, I am just in a slump, and I can't make it go away with another book. I just... eventually stop slumping ;)
