Great post! I’m definitely putting in the effort to make The Granola Diaries more fluid with how it looks and the sort of content on it; its a work in progress to figure out what stays and what goes.

Posts like yours are a great help to keep on moving in the right direction 🙂

It’s more of a pressure release valve for me. Sure, I’d like to continue to make money at it. For now, though, my site is a place to put the stuff I can’t publish at my “real” writing jobs (i.e., the ones that pay the bills).
The down side is that I’m a bit burned-out. I don’t want writing to become a huge chore since, as noted, I do it for a living and can’t afford to wear myself out. At times I have felt that I *must* put something up on the site because days have gone by with no original stuff, just roundups or giveaways. Not a good way to come up with compelling writing, this feeling that I *have* to do it.

It’s true of anything that one is serious about, really, whether it’s photography, cooking, hiking, etc. It takes investment in terms of time, energy and money.

You’re right that it definitely takes a lot of time. Even as a hobby, I spend a lot of time writing posts, commenting on other blogs, submitting to carnivals, etc. Although I’d like to make money in the future, I know that I’ll have to invest a lot more into my blog – so for now, I’ll just keep it as a hobby rather than a business.
