For fourteen strait days I’ve posted a blog. This is the largest streak I’ve ever been on. I’ve learned quite a few things since I started posting every day.
This commitment has been satisfying. It’s crazy to think that two weeks have passed since I started this. I didn’t think I’d keep up with it after one week. When I set out to do this, it was just a test to see how far I could take it. I’d feel bad about quitting, and then forgive myself. I am in new territory now.
It hasn’t been easy. There have been days that I didn’t feel like writing. There were several where I was way too tired to write and publish before the midnight deadline. I had to compromise, because I didn’t have the energy to bring anything remotely useful to the blog, but I also wanted to keep the deadline. I’ve also been able to write ‘decent’ blog posts in a short amount of time, which is crazy, because it usually takes a long time to produce a well-thoughtout post.
The desire to keep going is also unexpected. I have more to say, and I have the urge to sort through these thoughts. I thought by now I’d run out of topics to write about. Right now, I just want to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.
I also have a desire to expand on what I’m learning both with writing, but also learn more about what the platform is capable of. I’ve gotten away from the back-end of things, mostly because of time, but now I’m curious about what I can do.
