365 Days of Blogging!

Today, August 9th, marks my 365th consecutive day of blogging!

Rock.
On.

Whew! I made it. A blog post every day for a whole year! This was a little goal I set for myself last August when my blog wasn’t even a month old, and I do feel a little twinge of accomplishment. No one made me do it. I didn’t really tell anyone that I was going to do it. But, I did it.

Pardon me while I massage my arm. I think I hurt it while patting myself on the back.

Of course, my hubby accuses me of spending more time on my blog than on my other writing, and this is true. He’s obviously forgotten that I am an Expert Multitasker. But, he’s right. Not a day went by that I didn’t have my blog covered, but I felt like it was okay to slack on my other writing projects. In a way, I felt obligated to my internal goal. Now that I’ve done it and proven to myself that I could do it, I can shift some of my focus onto some other projects.

We’ll see. There shouldn’t be any reason that I can’t do both. What can I say? Old habits die hard. Plus, I’ve already started working more and more on my book. And, honestly, I can’t wait to write more! At times, I feel giddy…and this is a great feeling.

But, blogging has become a part of my life, and, now that I’ve done it every day for a year, I’m not sure I want to stop. I love writing, and I love chronicling Claire’s life and our adventures…and blogging makes my creative juices flow which helps me with my other projects. See? Like any true addict, I’ve justified my behavior.

I can’t guarantee that I’ll post every day for another year, but I’m definitely not done. In fact, I’ve just begun…
