Half a year of daily blogging
Damn.
Damn.
Six months* of writing a blog post every single day. Chapter 185 in the year-long book of Elliot’s Post-University Adventure.
It’s been tough.
Six months ago I started writing daily to fill the abundance of free time I had after finishing my degree. Six months on that abundance has disappeared almost completely, but I’m still writing. This is a 365/366 day commitment. No lack of free time is going to stop that.
In all honesty though, this isn’t a celebratory post. Half a year is great, but that’s only 50% of the way to the end-goal.
This is more of a stop-and-take-check post. Writing and full-time-jobbing means that, sometimes, it helps to slow down for a day and write without much direction; gives the mind a chance to put its metaphorical feet up.
And you know what? I haven’t pulled out the trusty gif-break in a while. So, here goes.
I hope that for those reading my Chapters, this daily journey is inspiring you to do something, anything, that helps you achieve your goals or improve your talents.
I have no idea where this road is taking me — honestly, not a clue — but if I wasn’t writing every day I’d never find out. I can’t imagine getting home from work, making food and doing nothing but watch YouTube or Netflix until I hit the hay and repeat the whole process again. That sounds like my (personal) version of hell.
So I’m making sure I don’t get stuck in my personal version of hell. I’m putting the effort in to carve a path and see where it leads.
I’ve never been more excited, so stick with me.
Catch you all tomorrow.
