Last year, I had set a goal to blog far more often, and those of you who have been following this blog for a while know that failed spectacularly. I wasn’t quite sure why, but then I read Wil Wheaton’s post from two days ago, and it clicked. I had set myself a goal that, while reasonable for some folks, put pressure on me to produce long form content for something that I’m really just doing for fun. That pressure burnt me out, pushed me to posting much shorter content on Tumblr, and leaving this blog in the dust.
Meanwhile, I’m thinking about what Matt Mullenweg said, “I want you to blog,” so I’m going to try Wil Wheaton’s answer to this problem.
I won’t be blogging every day, but I will be writing every day. Maybe I’ll publish a post every day after writing anyway. Maybe I’ll contribute to a draft over the course of several days. Maybe there will be several varying drafts that I contribute to. Maybe some of them will never be published. I’m honestly not sure what it will look like, but I’m excited to find out.
