Happy St. Paddy’s Day 🍀.
March 14th marked 1 year of writing this blog. Wow.
In that timeframe i have posted… 102 articles of writing (not including this one).
Wow. I’m proud of myself for doing that. I didn’t have a goal starting out besides try to write something everyday/week and get it out there no matter how shitty I might think it is.
I’m pretty happy with how it’s gone.
There are many spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes. But I think that just adds to the character of the pieces.
Some are low effort. Some I poured my soul into.
I’ve written many things that I didn’t end up posting because they were too relevant or recent or couldn’t figure out a way to discuss in a way without causing a direct impact on a current relationship.
Would I recommend doing something like this for yourself? Yeah. I think I would.
I think it’s a rewarding endeavour. I learned a lot about reoccurring thoughts and worries that come up for myself. I learned about my preferred writing style. I learned some about css and web development and ux. Mostly I learned and developed ways to understand my inner life. And I really enjoyed that aspect of it; even when it wasn’t pretty… especially when it wasn’t pretty.
It’s relatively easy to set one up under a pseudonym if that’s what you prefer; however I encourage you to consider posting as yourself.1 Perhaps I will write a different post about why I decided on non-anonymous posting to add more colour on this.
I’m still undecided in what I’d like to do with this project going forward. I’m going to take the next week or so to think about it. There are some writing prompts I’ve saved up to experiment so the next post will probably be those while I contemplate next steps.
Whoever you are, thank you for reading.
