23 years in and I’m still doing this.
I’ve taken breaks. I’ve also posted several times in a single day. It’s been wildly inconsistent at points. But here we are, two-plus decades later, and I haven’t quit.
At some point I got into a rhythm of writing a bunch of posts at once and scheduling them out. Which means I’m not burning myself out trying to come up with something every day, but the blog keeps moving. Turns out that’s a sustainable approach. Only took me about 20 years to land on it.
The thing that gets me is this: if my blog were a person, it would be old enough to drink. Here in the UK, at least. It still couldn’t get a discounted car insurance rate though. That doesn’t kick in until 25. So it’s got a couple more years before it’s truly sorted.
I’ll take it.
