The realisation that this is the second long term blogging project I’ve done – mostly in private this time – and it’s approaching its conclusion is not lost on me.
The aims of the project have shifted and twisted as time has passed. It never really began with any purpose, being a spur of the moment thing on January 1st. I’m not saying that for any dramatic purpose, it really was something done on a total whim once I realised that it was going to be a 366 rather than a 365…
I recall planning a few posts – themes that would crop up monthly, such as photo highlight posts from the month gone by, and even looking back at photos from previous years. I went through a phase of not adding images here, but just to Facebook and I wanted them to appear on an independent platform. I still haven’t done that.
The daily question idea came about after two or three days. The initial posts worked well like that, but that format quickly lapsed into a round up of each day.
As the last few days unfold, the main aim is still there. At the end of it all I want to write more often. This was the mission of my previous 365 project but, me being me, it never happened. I would hope that 731 posts later, it would be a bit more ingrained. However, it boils down to this: if I don’t have a reason to write, why bother? If nothing amazing has happened, why create a bland part of the internet for it? What is the point? It’s finding those opportunities and running with them that I find hard.
I write this a lot, but time will tell.
