#123: 2019 on the Blog
There are only a few more days of 2019 left. It’s odd to think that this will be my last post of the decade on this blog. No pressure, eh? I did consider writing a sweeping review piece but then thought better of it. Reflection is best done in private. Besides, 2019 didn’t go by like a regular year. It came along and punched us in the face. Let’s leave it at that.
Instead, I will leave you with a list of all the posts I published this year. Ultimately, that’s what I was thinking about in 2019.
I wrote one every week, so there are 52 of them – over 41,000 words in total. Not gonna lie, some weeks, the struggle was real to keep up the discipline. Some posts tanked while others resonated surprisingly well. It didn’t kill me, and it shows that a small habit can go a long way if you stick to it for long enough.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for following my blog. Thank you for reading, liking and reblogging. I appreciate your generous support.
2020 will be busy. I will be launching a writing-related business in the next couple of months and sharing it on the blog so stay tuned for that.
Stay safe on New Year’s Eve, and I’ll see you in the new year!
