The unforeseen benefit of blogging every day

I never thought when I started this blog and made a promise to myself that I would write something here every day that it would give rise to a series of videos which I publish on my YouTube channel.

The reason I resolved to write something every day was simply to maintain my writing muscle.

But recently I have begun to make videos down the canal bank in Enfield on my lunch break with my Osmo Pocket 3 camera. And I have, for want of subject matter, referred to what I have written on this blog to see if it would be suitable.

So far, so good. The videos are being well received on my YouTube channel and are driving views, comments and new subscribers.

Thus, in addition to maintaining and flexing my writing muscle this blog allows me to have a ready store of new videos to broaden and grow my YouTube channel

And writing every day brings a lot of other good things, including thinking about what is happening around me and noticing things.

Because I need to show up here every day and write something.

It is becoming a virtuous circle.
