If the numbers are to go by, this is the worst year of my life so far, in terms of number of posts I’ve made on this blog.
I mean look at the screenshot. This is the twelfth year of writing a blog and apart from the first two, the only other year when I wrote so less was 2010. And in the last four year, I have averaged more than 100 posts per year. Why do I care about how much I write? Because I am a writer. And I want to be better one at that. And unless I practice my craft, I will not become what I want to become.
Like all other lapses when I haven’t been able to write for long duration, I have multiple excuses. The first one among those is that work has kept me busy. The other is that I just havent felt like writing.
Now, is that a good thing? Of course not. And what am I doing about it? Nothing as yet.
So here’s the deal. I will post something on the blog everyday, starting today. Till the end of the year. We should thus end the year with 150 odd posts – making this year the second best year of my blogging life. Now that’s a great goal to chase!
I know. I know. I have made this promise umpteen times in the past. But then in the past I was not touching 33. And I am not getting any younger anytime. The time to do shit is now.
Oh, one more thing. A dear friend (RN09Dec) recently told me that I start a million projects and then never work on those. And when I do work, I dont finish. When I discussed this with kAgE and Agony Aunt, kAgE told me not bother as the projects left unfinished are left abandoned for a reason. And AA told me that my “talk to do” ratio tends to zero and in long run, people who have a high talk to do ratio do well. And I want to do well. And I shall work on improving this. Any tips anyone?
