Inoltre non avevo mai fatto foto prima di aprire il mio blog, questa è la verità! Il mio blog è diventato famoso in Germania molto rapidamente. E poi, sei mesi più tardi, la casa editrice Busse Seewald mi chiese se volevo fare un libro. Non potevo credere che volessero proprio me! Poi iniziai a lavorare al progetto del libro e devo dire che non pensavo fosse così impegnativo e richiedesse così tanto duro lavoro. ma è stato anche molto divertente e mi ha dato la possibilità di imparare molte cose sulla fotografia.<b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>MARA:</b> Tell us about you book: how has this fantastic adventure begun? </span></i><br /><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>MINA:</b> Oh, this was really a kind of adventure. When I started my blog in May 2012 I just wanted to give back a little of my inspiration and passion, to some foreign readers in the world wide web. I never knew, that anybody will find my blog at all. I have never taken photos, before I started blogging, that’s the really truth! My blog became famous in Germany in a very fast time. And than, a half year later, the „Busse Seewald“ Publisherhouse asked me, if I wanted to make a book. I couldn’t believe, what they wanted from me. But then I started with the project and yes, it was much more hard work than I ever can imagine before. But it was a funny time and I have learned much more about photography in that time, as well.</span></i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5sKoxuHgBB2qLGfdnGC-r23aG3DhH9zdENRlmWQ1y9WiNynWp85o80ZW4Ov8w-Kbl_Dy3k83xOUGPul0uDJT69hPA5FWksjyIwnnBY5rZbnXQbMJ-mpNgnsseeJw-1c581byKWx-XfOQ/s1600/my_villa_vanilla3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5sKoxuHgBB2qLGfdnGC-r23aG3DhH9zdENRlmWQ1y9WiNynWp85o80ZW4Ov8w-Kbl_Dy3k83xOUGPul0uDJT69hPA5FWksjyIwnnBY5rZbnXQbMJ-mpNgnsseeJw-1c581byKWx-XfOQ/s1600/my_villa_vanilla3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Volete acquistare il libro di Mina?

Blogging tips#23: 5 consigli per ritrovare la voglia di bloggare

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Capita a tutti. Arriva un momento in cui non si riesce più a trovare stimoli per continuare a postare sul blog. La vita quotidiana, i troppi impegni, il lavoro, la famiglia, la casa... poco tempo e poche idee.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Magari abbiamo avuto delle brutte esperienze sul web, magari qualche avvenimento on line ci ha amareggiato e stiamo cominciando a pensare:</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> "Ma chi me lo fà fare"?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXB1JBF3xEfeBWfri1iozayRO1gTmJ2BQcS6f0Y2xT4bW0XuK-G58oZ_mn5y1uaPg45qhrqCLyqBdDg8m6b_v4nND_PYQP3_3CFACi7hVgpqjnInNeABUjZOUWEG1jd_7hgfwQKYB6cME/s1600/blogging_tips_23.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bloging Tips" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXB1JBF3xEfeBWfri1iozayRO1gTmJ2BQcS6f0Y2xT4bW0XuK-G58oZ_mn5y1uaPg45qhrqCLyqBdDg8m6b_v4nND_PYQP3_3CFACi7hVgpqjnInNeABUjZOUWEG1jd_7hgfwQKYB6cME/s1600/blogging_tips_23.gif" title="Blogging Tips" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oggi voglio parlare di quei momenti in cui scrivere e tenere il blog non risulta più un piacere, ma un dovere pesantissimo. O meglio, voglio suggerivi alcune <b>strategie per ritrovare</b> lo slancio, la passione, la voglia di bloggare. E non sono qui a pontificare sulla "fuffa", perchè, se ve ne parlo, ci sono passata anch'io. Quindi quelli che vi suggerirò saranno consigli "dell'esperienza".</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Prima di tutto voglio chiarire una cosa:<b> io considero il mio blog un lavoro</b>, lo prendo seriamente, ho degli obiettivi prefissati su questo che è uno dei miei progetti di vita. E posso dire con molta gioia che alcuni degli obiettivi che mi ero posta con l'apertura del mio blog, li ho raggiunti. E proprio perchè prendo il blog seriamente, parto dal presupposto che nessuno ti regala niente: come in ogni altro aspetto della vita, se vuoi qualcosa <b>devi lavorare duro e con costanza</b>.... a meno che tu non abbia un cognome da figlio di papà, ma questa è un'altra storia ;)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dunque, a me è capitato: non avevo più voglia di bloggare, non trovavo lo slancio necessario, nè il tempo, visti i tanti impegni quotidiani. Anzi, devo dire che non appena sono arrivati i più importanti obiettivi che mi ero posta di raggiungere col blog, tempo e passione da dedicare a Home Shabby Home sono diminuiti.</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cosa ho fatto?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnRydHASgCSTd1rgwHyxaTMdgyQbI_qy11IAsojpAyBxyI6t_8NIyZ2zWgINOo7p88nX0_iRvKaprl60gTQCtaaPbfcwZg2Rq8SNo2FEhFukuDGCQLeFkMGTBASSQwNJZKdACUYV-Dyxw/s1600/blogging_tips.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Blogging Tips" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnRydHASgCSTd1rgwHyxaTMdgyQbI_qy11IAsojpAyBxyI6t_8NIyZ2zWgINOo7p88nX0_iRvKaprl60gTQCtaaPbfcwZg2Rq8SNo2FEhFukuDGCQLeFkMGTBASSQwNJZKdACUYV-Dyxw/s1600/blogging_tips.gif" title="Blogging Tips" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Ho lasciato il blog in pausa per un po'</b>.
