Where Did Adventures in Aussieland Go? And Why It Won't Happen Again

2019 was not the year for consistency here at Adventures in Aussieland. Let's be honest, if you've been a reader since the inception of this blog, consistency has never really been my thing. I know, I know. In the blogging world, that's just not how it's done. Consistency and predictability for my readers are essential. 

Unfortunately, as this blog is not my full-time job, consistency is not always feasible. It takes a ton of time writing posts, editing them, editing photos and connecting with other bloggers. Over the last year, I was studying full-time, finishing up a major research project, working two very demanding jobs, and experiencing some health bumps. 

The stressors from all the above demands severely crushed my creative juices. I wasn't travelling much, I wasn't exploring, all my free time was spent resting and recovering. It was full-on, but in actuality, I just wasn't prioritising Adventures in Aussieland. I hadn't taken the time to put together a game plan for when life got overwhelming. 

So why is this time any different? Well, a bit of my schedule has changed. I have a bit more free time and that free time has reinvigorated my creative flow. I'm excited to be writing again. It's a wonderful outlet for me. And I LOVE getting to explore Australia and the world. 

I'm more prepared. For the past few months, I've spent a ton of time drafting blog posts so that we can be posting consistently throughout the year. Every Friday, a new post will go live on the blog. Once per week is a very realistic achievement for me, anything more and I wouldn't have the consistency I would like. There will be times that more than one post will go live per week, so consider those weeks an exciting bonus. 

We're going in a slightly new direction. Yes, we will still be posting about all the incredible things you can do in Australia and around the world, but there have been some significant changes in my life, and I'm excited to write about them. I'm very excited to add this new perspective to Adventures in Aussieland.

Admitting that I slipped up and let my priorities slide is not the easiest thing to admit. Especially on the internet. But I'm sure I cannot be the only blogger who has experienced a similar situation. If this has ever happened to you, what did you do to help you remain consistent as a blogger? I'm especially interested in your tips and tricks if blogging is not your full-time job. 

I wanted to thank everyone who has stuck around and been so patient with me. I really appreciate the love and support throughout the years. I hope you're as excited as I am to continue this journey. 

And until next time...
