Some useful blogging links from Staci Troilo across several subjects including writing, reviews and humour. and news on changes to her blog to free up weekends…now there is an idea…
Ciao, amici! How was your week? Mine was a mixed bag. I started rolling out some new features on my blog and hope to continue that next week. Every day, Monday through Friday, now has a theme, though I’m willing to preempt days (primarily Tuesdays) for promotions.
I’m taking weekends off. No posting, no reading posts, no social media, no writing or editing (unless I’m terribly behind). This seven-day-a-week schedule has finally broken me.

You have to do what’s right for you, Cathy. I’ve found I’m burned out and have to take some time for myself. Sally’s suggestion to schedule things may be enough for you, or perhaps you’ll find you need more. Try different things until you find your sweet spot. Wishing you a happy balance!

I believe that life is a series of challenges, and doubt is a natural reaction at times. When we overcome these doubts and reach some goal that we wondered if we could achieve, I think these are the moments when we feel best about ourself.
