Have you ever thought about giving up?

Was there ever a time when you didn't want to blog anymore? :O What do you think causes this? How did you get through it?

I've thought about it, but my friends encouraged me to keep going because they're cool.

I did give up and it was probably the worst thing to do.

Not only do you kill any progress you've made, you also make it very difficult to revive in the future.

Giving up on my blog and forum for months was probably the worst thing I've done.

I also came across with this type of thinking when I was newbie at blogging. I tried to hard to create a new blog at starting because of lack of knowledge in blogging.

I have been thinking about how usefull my blog was, wasn't it too time consuming and all. But no, I get great things from it, so I won't think about giving up anymore!

This is happen to me now. I need to spend more time. Sometime I felt tired just thinking of how to write a good post.

I gave up. Blogging is not for me

I tried an experiment on a city blog that I purchased adding around 12,000 words of content. Traffic increased tenfold but at best I had 5,000 uniques. It really wasn't worth it.
