In the past I've done things like no -chocoloate, no fast food, no added sugar (see a theme?), and no social media. -They've all been of the "I won't do this" sort, because it's a lot easier to -stop doing something than to start doing something new. Doing something new -inherently means _also_ not doing something else; there's only so many hours in -the day, afterall. - -## This Year - -This year I'm going to shake things up, I'm going to do something new. My -resolution is to have published 52 posts on this blog by Jan 1, 2022, 00:00 UTC. -Only one post per day can count towards the 52. A post must be "substantial" to -count towards the 52. A non-substantial post would be something like the 100 -word essay about my weekend that I wrote in first grade, which went something -like "My weekend was really really really ('really' 96 more times) really really -boring". - -Other than that, it's pretty open-ended. - -## Why - -My hope is that I'll get more efficient at writing these things. Usually I take -a lot of time to craft a post, weeks in some cases. I really appreciate those of -you that have taken the time to read them, but to be frank the time commitment -just isn't worth it. With practice I can hopefully learn what exactly I have to -say that others are interested in, and then go back to spending a lot of time -crafting the things being said. - -Another part of this is going to be learning how to market myself properly, -something I've always been reticent to do. Our world is filled with people -shouting into the void of the internet, each with their own reasons for wanting -to be heard. Does it need another? Probably not. But here I am. I guess what I'm -really going to be doing is learning _why_ I want to do this; I know I want to -have others read what I write, but is it possible that that desire isn't -entirely selfish? Is it ok if it is? - -Once I'm comfortable with why I'm doing this it will, hopefully, be easier to -figure out a marketing avenue I feel comfortable with putting a lot of energy -towards.
