Keeping this blog going
I keep a 5-year diary and am on year 2 now. The diary allows you pen a few lines-probably 5 maximum, or thereabouts-and each page has the 5 years on it so that when you are writing in it this evening I can see, at a glance, what I did on the same day 1… Continue reading Keeping this blog going
Blogging every day versus making a daily video
I have been thinking about the value of writing on this blog every day and considering whether I should be spending my time making a daily video instead.

Therefore, if one… Continue reading Daily blogging-is it worth it in 2025?
Daily blogging under constant review
When I started writing a blog post on this blog a few years ago it was with a view to becoming a better writer from the act of repetition and practice. Over time other benefits became apparent. For example, the act of writing something out and turning it over on a page with words helped… Continue reading Daily blogging under constant review
I lost this blog post
I wrote a blog post this morning but when I went to post it I was unable to access this website. Now, at 3 pm Lets Host has fixed the problem. But I seem to have inadvetently deleted my blog post. I cannot even remember what it was about. But I am not going to… Continue reading I lost this blog post
