Maybe blogging was just OK when it was a hobby, or a new occupation, but now that it is an obligation, it became tedious, just like almost all repetitive works do. Because repetition is an announcement of problems. Then enters creativity, the solution to repetition. Start using your creativity to break the bonds of repetition. Blog about anything you like, not just your selected niches. Maybe you just need other niches to make this fun. Maybe you need to step off blogging for a while and try other things. Then, when you are out of the problem, you'll see it with another perspective and things get clearer. Try to seek for fun on your activities. Be well, good luck!

I have been having trouble since the holidays. I just can't seem to get back into the swing of things and have been seiously neglecting the blog. Luckily, I have some awesome contributors who give me at least one original post each weekday, but what about the other 24 open spots on the page that need to be updated once a week or so?... I have seriously considered trying to sell and going back to a plain-old diary-type mom blog - at least I wouldnt' feel so guilty if I didn't post something for a few days. Yes!

Keeping on reading blogs and engaging with the issues in your niche will mean something is bound to inspire you again.

Some old idea you never got around to, or a pre-formatted Q&A or Link of the Day type. This idea must have been conjured from my subconscious while sitting on the bench most for my high school soccer experience.

I'm the same way. Hot and heavy, then pull back. I think for me it's about being in my own head for too long at a time, then seeing how much I can accomplish "in the real world" that does not involve blog writing, promoting, and social networking. It's nice to feel solid forms emerging under my toiling fingers. Grounding. I've been reading a lot lately about the future of blogging. Like you and Jan, I find myself wondering if there is a new sexy cousin out there who wants to make out in the barn. Great post! I’m the same way. Hot and heavy, then pull back.

After a year, it's suddenly become tedious. But though I'm shying away from the writing part of blogging, I still find myself commenting on other blogs. Am I just going through the motions? Am I in search of a sexier cousin of blogging? Seriously, I ascribe it to a momentum of idleness. Absenting yourself from your own blog creates its own momentum. Hard to get back in the groove. I'm praying that's all there is to it though and that I'd be back chirping merrily along while doing my daily blog routine again. It’s what I feel, too. After a year, it’s suddenly become tedious.

It often happens when too many things are happening in reality that I'm just too tired to sit down and relay it back in my blog. I've now become a seasonal blogger ... displaying many dry spells until I flood the page with updates. Perhaps not the best method ... think I need to make more effort.
