I’m at something of a crossroads with my writing right now. I would love to get some opinions on this, so I would be most grateful if you would share them in the comments.

I have been working on a regular basis for two clients for nearly a year now. For one, I ghostwrite articles on a wide variety of subjects for their clients. For the other, I do daily blog posts as a contributor.

Both clients have been fantastic to work with. They both pay on time every time, and I enjoy the work I do for both. But the company I do the ghostwriting for recently changed hands, and the work has been pouring in every since. It has been quite a feat getting it all done, as well as the blog postings and shorter-term projects. In fact, I’ve been perpetually running behind. Not far behind, but far enough that it bothers me.

I’ve come to the conclusion that something is going to have to give, and I’m not sure whether or not it should be the blogging. You see, I kind of look forward to that every day. It’s fun, my name is on my work, and I have plenty of freedom as to what I blog about (within the blog’s niche). The pay per word is better than anything else I’m doing, although there are not a lot of words required. The thing is, some days it takes me a long time to find a topic to blog about. I have to find something that I feel is worthy, that I think readers will enjoy, and that hasn’t been written about already on the blog. Sometimes I can find something quickly, and sometimes I look for a couple of hours until I finally give up.

I just can’t decide whether I want to let the blogging go or not. I love doing it, but I’m just not sure I can justify the time I’m spending on it anymore. And I don’t know how long the abundance of ghostwriting work will last. I hope it will be ongoing, but I hate the thoughts of letting things go and being without work.

I do have ideas for some other projects, and there are always gigs out there. So it’s possible that I could fill in the gaps adequately. Maybe it’s glaringly obvious what I should do, but I’m just really torn. Any thoughts on the matter?
