How To Get Out of a Blog Burnout

Hello friends! A few months ago, I wrote a post about blog burnouts, in particular about how I have managed to (mostly) avoid them during 6+ years of blogging. I loved working on that post and you all seemed to appreciate my thoughts and tips on how to avoid burnouts. While I am satisfied with…

Happy Blogiversary to Us, ft. Things That Have Kept Us Going for the Past Year

Hello friends! Exactly seven years, at the age of seventeen I created the original version of Wordy and Whimsical, which - to be perfectly honest - started off rather weakly. While the blog was very different then and was hosted on blogger, I like to celebrate W&W's blogiversary on the same date, March 15, so…

Post Ideas I’ve Scrapped

Hey everyone, it’s Sabrina 🙂  Today I want to talk a little bit about some blog post ideas that I’ve scrapped.  Not every idea is a winner, and though sometimes I can push through with an idea that I initially don’t think is great and end up with something I am proud of, there are…

Salty Seven: 7 Bookish Things I Hate

Okay, so, this post is a liiiittle bit saltier than usual? I was IN A MOOD, apparently. Like, don't let all the pink fool you, I was kinda mean here, BUT I did make sure to not step on anyone's opinion (I hope??) so it should be okay. I mean, you're all awesome and if…
