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 year ago. And so on for the succeeding years.

I am wondering now about the benefit of continuing with this blog in its public format.

Some days I am only writing for the sake of keeping my daily writing streak going. Other days I get real benefit.

I wonder, however, if I would be better off going offline and writing in a physical notebook and indulge myself with thoughts that I cannot or do not wish to share publicly.

The fear, though, is without the public ‘write a blog post every day’ obligation that I would simply let the writing slide completely.

And I don’t want that.
