This morning I realized that I've reached the one year anniversary of my blog. Let's do a quick recap and see what's happened in the last year on Pencil and Paper!
Ok, let's see here. Looks like I have written a total of 12 posts. Huh... Well, um, that's not quite the volume I anticipated when I started this thing a year ago. I was thinking at least 1 a week. So at a minimum I'm supposed to be at 52 posts at this point.
Let's do a little quick math...carry the one...divide by the square root of an isosceles triangle...hit the calculate button...aaaand? It appears I need to write 40 posts today to get back on track. Holy smokes! Hmm, maybe I need to change my output goals for the next year.
What else do we have here. I see I now have 12 followers. One for every post!! It appears my blog growth more closely matches that have a stalactite (you know because they're, like, really slow growing and stuff).
I guess there are a lot of reasons why there are only 12 of you but I think I'll go ahead and blame the economy. It seems to take the blame for pretty much everything so I'm sure it had an impact on my blog growth this year as well. That and climate change. Those pesky chlorofluorocarbons. Somebody should really do something about those.
Sheesh, that was a pretty quick recap. Now what?
Wait, that's actually a pretty good question. Now what? I'm asking you. All 12 of you. Now what? What do you want to hear about? Maybe that's how I increase my output. Let the people decide!
Of course this means that in another year if I'm sitting at 24 posts I'm just going to blame the 12 of you (or 24 of you if the pattern stays consistent!)
Is there something you want to know? Is there something you want me to write about? I don't care what the topic is, I'll take a crack at it.
My goal a year ago was to entertain, inspire and/or inform. I'm not sure if I've done much of any of that but I'm willing to try it for another year. So, if you have a topic you want me to dive into, a story you want me to tell, something you just want to know more about, let me know. I'll take a swing at it.
Man, I hope this doesn't backfire...
