I remember that hoping that blogjune would reboot my blogging practice. Well it did and it didn’t. It seems similar to going on a crash diet - you make an improvement in the short-term and then easily fall back into bad habits.
I don’t regret participating at all. It was unfortunate about getting sick in the middle of the month, but these things happen and other people were dealing with similar problems. It was good because I did feel re-energized about my blogging, and despite this hangover, that hasn’t entirely dissipated. I also discovered a few great new (for me) bloggers to follow, and felt re-connected to the blogging community.
I’ve also decided that the habit I need to get back into is not publishing a blog post everyday, but doing some blogging activity every day. The first is just not sustainable for me, but the second is doable and is something I’d like to do. By blogging activity, I mean reading other blogs, commenting in other blogs, drafting and editing my own posts, tweaking my blog’s design and publishing.
