Even though I’ve written before about social media narcissism and the echo chamber and how they lead to blogger burnout, I still found myself wanting to take a break from blogging (on a regular basis). But the blogging itch never went away; I just got really busy and never really found the time to get back into it. Now I’ve decided to ramp it up again; here are some ideas that helped me and may help you too.

How to Get out of Your Blogging Hiatus, Funk, Sabbatical, or Whatever You Decided to Call It
Enjoy 
- I love to sing, like in choirs and quartets. I sing pretty high too, I’m a tenor. And, in fact, I can sing higher than my wife who sings alto. Some say I’m a freak, I say it’s a blessing.

After reading a recent post by Steven Hodson it made me think some more about the dreaded ‘echo chamber’ and its effects. In my opinion, the echo chamber is what you make it. Chances are you’ve isolated yourself on Twitter, or FriendFeed, or dare I say, even Facebook. This is understandably so, we have only so much time to waste spend online and it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up as technologies advance and networks grow.
