Saying goodbye to blogging

Saying goodbye to blogging.

Ever since April Fool’s Day 2009 when i began the prolific, five-daily, differently-themed blog post writing, i always wondered how long it would last.

The “impossible”, self-imposed 100-day writer’s bootcamp was never supposed to happen. Why? Because my previous record was two consecutive days. i literally was a fool to think i could write five daily posts for 100 consecutive days. Nope. Never gonna happen.

But i liked the goal’s absurdity.

And here we are.

Nearing the start of a 17th year.

On the cusp of completing a 5,844 consecutive-days run.

Note: Planning to start year 17 on April Fool’s Day 2025. Those five posts will publish November 19, 2025. Not planning to go farther.

Busy, busy at HQ

Busy, busy at HQ.

Lots going on. More than usual.

All in the name of continuous improvement.

Walking those seven miles today, a couple thoughts:

  1. How do i write an end to the prolific blogging?
  2. Does it need to be written about in some remarkable way?
  3. Could it end the way it began, humbly, simply, quietly?

Because right now is the first these questions surfaced.

Exciting times

News headline LeBron James reaches 50,000 points milestone
How much is enough? Timeless question. Compelling question.
Social media post about the size of the cosmos
Challenging to know what’s true. Even if this isn’t true, the cosmos is still ridiculously, incomprehensively large

Can you make this up?

What?

Time to stop daily, prolific, working?

Gut says yes.

What about the blogging?

Gut says i’m closer to no than to yes.

And writing?

Nope.

30k posts club, home

wordpress admin screen
A solid 6,100+ blog posts here. Also, you can see yesterday’s published post, “No one cares about your blogs.”

One of writing’s big reveals to me is this…

No one cares what you think.

So if you want to write, know exactly who you are writing to. And, know why you hope they listen.
