Sure, some of us go through bad days and are back on again soon after. But if this is a lousy period in your life, you don't have to pretend it's not because you happen to have an audience. There may be some who read for entertainment, but those of us who read regularly read because there is so clearly a real person writing and not a performer. This is YOUR blog and know that you can write what you want and feel comfortable with, and we will still be there.
