Three Weeks
Day 21 of the #100DaysToOffload Series:
Three weeks ago I accepted a challenge from a Kev to write a blog post a day for one hundred days. We’re now three weeks into the challenge and so I thought that today might be a good day for a quick summary.
So, how are things going?
Better than I expected to be honest. I fully expected to last two or three days before burning out and running out of things to write about.
I won’t lie, many days (most?) it’s hard to think of of a subject that I can write about. Adding to that problem is the fact that every day a new article is due, which doesn’t give a lot of time to research a subject I don’t know a lot about.
That leaves me in the situation where I have to write about things that I already know or I can figure out in a short amount of time. I’m not finding that optimal, but I’m going to stick with it for the time being.
What’s Coming
I think in the future I’m going to try to do some series articles. Instead of writing a single article and then moving on to another subject the next day, I’m going to take several days in a row and try to really dig into a subject. I feel like that way I can spend some time to get to know a subject.
So, in the future, look forward to some anthologies.

I still haven’t decided when I’m going to kick off the anthologies, but it’ll probably be pretty soon here. I’ll just spring them on you with no notice. The last three weeks have been pretty fun, and I’ve been enjoying the writing again. That’s despite the fact that I feel super rusty. Hopefully the next seventy-nine days will fix that and I’ll settle back in.
Looking for comments? There are no comments. It's not that I don't care what you think, it's just that I don't want to manage a comments section.
If you want to comment, there's a really good chance I at least mentioned this post on Fosstodon, and you can reply to me there. If you don't have a Mastodon account, I'd suggest giving it a try.

Also, don't feel obligated, but if you feel like buying me a ☕ cup of coffee ☕ I won't say no.
