Hi, reading your post was refreshing. Happy to see others in the blogosphere share my sentiments. I want a simple, yet impactful online writing experience. Mostly free of the stress, comparison, and hurriedness that online writers are encouraged to do. Slow blogging at a steady pace allows me to savor the writing experience, and deeply connect with readers. I have a minimalist blog, and try to live in this way. I want my website to be a true reflection of my values. Which are simplicity, slow and intentional living. Thanks for making this fine point. It’s conversations like this that change the culture of blogging online.

Thank you. This entry confirmed several things within me–one of them being my desire to live a “slow” lifestyle in all aspects of living. This is an ongoing process and a challenge in a big, fast city! Yes, I don’t want to get caught in pleasing others and judging myself in this world of measurement. It can be a battle, but a reminder and encouragement like this keep me on the joyous path. My goal is for my vocation to be an outflow of my life. It’s happening. Again, thank you and be well.

I couldn’t agree more, fast blogging is just for the numbers. I love the idea of crafting my craft slowly but firm, learning, making mistakes and let go all the pressure that comes with the rise to stay on top. Suoer inspiring post!

I totally agree in the quality vs. quantity concept of blogging. I couldn’t keep up with all the daily posts, either reading or writing them! Now I strive for posting once a week. Very helpful post. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this. I needed it. It’s so easy to get lost in what I’m “supposed to be doing” and ignoring what I WANT to do.

Thanks for these sensible words Kristen, it’s been very reassuring to read them. I started a food blog about 6 months ago. I do it because I love food and I’ve found I really enjoy writing about it. From time to time, I worry that I’m not producing enough content or content that’s trendy or likely to get a lot of interest, but even in the short space of time I’ve been blogging, I find that if I enjoy what I’m writing, ultimately, I produce better content anyway. Unlike you, I am the sole breadwinner in my house so for now, blogging will remain a hobby for me. And thanks to your article, I feel comfortable in the knowledge that I’m actually a part of the Slow Blogging Movement, and will continue to enjoy writing that hopefully, others will enjoy reading. After all, what’s the point in having a hobby you don’t enjoy?!
So thank you for this article – it felt like a hug!

This is so inspiring, I have been a slow blogger since the beginning because I find it hard to produce high quality content in short time. I am really happy I came across your post, thank you
