Last month, I decided to see what would happen if I committed to posting a blog every day. I have enjoyed reading Seth Godin’s blog over the years and was impressed with how he has kept up a daily blog for years.
Now that I’ve reached one month of daily blogging, this is what I have observed:
- Once you get started, writing consistently at the same time every day is easier than writing in spurts.
- I should have known this! It’s the same deal with physical exercise!
- Creativity fuels more creativity.
- Using a content calendar really works.
- It works as an idea generator.
- It beats a blank page.
- It empowers you when you have two weeks of ideas laid out.
- It has given me a way to revisit my old cartoons and illustrations.
- I find I am writing just as much for myself as opposed to someone else.
- It is better to write short posts regularly than to post a larger post occasionally.
- Releasing a minimally viable product applies to blog posts too.
- It doesn’t have to be perfect.
- To have an impact, it needs to get out the door.
I am enjoying this project. We’ll see how far it goes. Thank you for participating by reading my posts!
