6 months of bear blog
I've been writing on bear for 6 months now, I'd be lying if I didn't say that it has flown by.
When I initially started, I wanted to write something every single day... I was motivated and excited at the thought of writing every day to and building up an audience of wild fans who hung onto my every word.
That motivation and excitement clearly didn't stick around for very long, but something better happened for me, I realised that my expectations on consistency were due to listening to other people and their expectations of what consistency should be for everyone.
Consistency is the art of doing the same thing, over a long period of time. What it doesn't say it needs to be is how often you do that same thing on the smaller scale. For me, I realised that I only needed to be able to post once a month. That's it. I've been thankful that I've posted more than once every month but I was under no pressure to do so.
The noise around how important it is to post every day wasn't right for me because I wasn't trying to compete for attention, I have no expectations for this blog to be anything other than a hodgepodge (love that word) of different thoughts, ideas and ramblings that will probably not make any difference to anyone but me.
But that's enough.
There's no niche, no problems that I'm solving, no advice, inspiration or entertainment for others. It's all for me.
Selfish? Perhaps.
But I've been able to publish something at least once a month for the last 6 months after having no success previously.
So I'm calling that a win.
Here's to the next 6 months.
