I did it! I got through a whole month of posting every day and completed my 4th NaBloPoMo!
Though my habit of posting more is definitely there, I am glad that I no longer feel the obligation to have a post every single day.
A few things I realized…
I have more to say than I think: even when I think that I have nothing to write and then force myself to sit down and actually start writing, more ideas come. The post that I start writing often gets scrapped, or put aside because there is something better… So I really need to sit myself down and force myself to write. I enjoy it… but I procrastinate way too much.
Readership is inspiring: The more I write, the more readers come read, and it inspires me not only to write more but actually do more. I love to cook, I love to sew and craft, so if I want to write about it and share, I actually have to do it!
That blogging is still something I want to do: there have been times that I wonder why I keep a blog, why I pay for hosting every year. But then it comes back to me.. I love blogging. It is the first journal that I have kept up with, I love the feedback, I love being able to look back ad see how much I have grown, how much my family has grown.
Now, lets see just how long I will keep up with writing more often…
I for one am grateful that you keep this blog up! I even shared your stuffed sole recipe (the one with teryaki sauce on the outside and veggies wrapped inside the fish) with a local mom’s group in Hochelaga Maisonneuve, and it was a hit!
I also like it that you blog. I love your devotion to your family and admire your energy in keeping up with them all. Congrats on making it through the whole month posting every day.
Congratulations on your 4th year. I too am grateful that you continue blogging… I don’t think I could manage without my online community. It keeps me sane.
Thanks 🙂 I am definitely not done… I didn’t blog yesterday and it felt so weird not to…
you did a great job! i love reading you!
keep up with the rytm :o)
take care
