When I began my post a day challenge, I thought I could finish it easily. I’d done this before. But this time, I was making two blog posts a day, 62 total, on two blogs.
What did I learn? I found it easier to do a post a day with this blog, as I had many topics I wanted to talk about. My other blog is about Japan, and it was started as a photo blog. I didn’t do many photos this month. On this blog, though, the focus is mainly on writing and books, as well as other topics. I learned I could write under pressure of a deadline. However, I didn’t particularly like having the deadline, as it put me under pressure to write something. I prefer to write when I’m ready to write.
The previous time I did a post a day, I was single, working 5 days a week full time, and had plenty of free time. I went out a lot. Now, I’m married, work 6 days a week full time, have a baby to take care of, and not much free time. It’s sometimes hard to find the time to write, let alone read. But my desire to blog and write is far more now.
I will continue to write as normal after this, not every day, but probably more than before. I hope to read more than before, as well, and give plenty of reviews.
It was fun, but I don’t think I’ll be doing a post a day again anytime soon.
