365 Days of Blogging

Here’s an image of what my blog looks like today, 21st of July, 2020.

Today is my birthday, and officially my 365th day of blogging! It seems kind of fitting that as I complete my 24th year around the sun, my blog completes it’s first.

My writing voice is clearer now than it was before. I’m more succinct. I know how to enjoy my own writing and not cringe when I read my posts the next day. And I’ve still got a long way to go with my writing.

I’m so grateful I committed to this journey because although I value the habit of creating a post every day, I value the habit of persistence and endurance even more.

Here’s what will change in the next 365 days:

• More video content – I’m ready to commit to video with the same tenacity and grit as I have with my written content. I know video will take me to the next level. It’s non-negotiable. All I have to do now is press go.

• Better images – I’ve said this before, and this is something I’ve wanted to address properly for a while. It won’t be immediate, and I plan to wait to work on this. But I want my content to be visually appealing to me as the words.

• More distribution – one of the reasons I decided to blog daily for two years in a row is because I knew that blogging occasionally would never bring a readership. Even now – hang on a minute, let me check the stats – I’m seeing about 40 people visit my blog per day (wow, that number is higher than I was expecting – when I first started, that number was about 2). Of course, 40 visitors a day isn’t groundbreaking, and that’s exactly why I committed to two years of blogging. This next year of blogging, I will be sharing my blog in many more places.

This is a time for celebration! But it’s not a victory yet. I committed to blogging every single day for 730 days and I’m not stopping now.
