You have perhaps noticed a decrease in the number of posts on Consuming Louisville lately. As I’ve mentioned on Twitter I recently took a new job. Yep, me, with a day job. Shocking, I know. It’s been a while since I’ve had a day job (I’ve been freelancing for quite some time) so figuring out the balance between the new job, family life and personal projects like Consuming Louisville is a new challenge that I’m undertaking. It will take me a little while but I’m confident I can do it.
On most weekdays for the past two years I’ve had 3 posts up on Consuming Louisville. While Consuming Louisville is definitely not going anyway, that rate of posting will probably change. I’m going to shoot for getting in the swing of two posts a day on a regular basis and bumping up to three posts when I can.
Consuming Louisville is not going anyway, it’s a great love of mine and I can’t imagine not doing it. I really adore all the people I’ve met through Consuming Louisville and I simply love telling you about so much great stuff here in our city. Though posting will be slightly less I’ve got some really great contests and giveaways coming up for you soon as well as some cool features and hopefully some kick ass entries in the Big Ideas for Making Louisville better series.
I sincerely thank you for reading Consuming Louisville and hope you’ll continue to do so in the future and support me during this transition time. I’m really excited about my new job and the company I’m working for. I’ll do a separate post telling you about that soon but for now I just wanted to explain the slightly erratic posting schedule.
Fondly,
Michelle

Congratulations on your new job! I hope you love it. I will most definitely continue poking around on here…it’s been an invaluable resource, and I appreciate all your work in making it a great site.

I think the trick is to just get the hang of blogging while you work. Maybe some kind of reward system like: 2 spreadsheets completed = 5 minutes writing about the season schedule for the Kentucky Opera. Or 6 paragraphs of a report written = 5 minutes of celebrating the opening of another awesome restaurant.
I’m sure your employer would understand that this is helping the community… right?
Good luck in the new job. I have no doubt that you will find your groove quickly. Until then, we remain yours…
