My 30 days of writing a post for my blog every day finishes today.
I have to say that when I started this journey, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to keep up my personal challenge of writing a post every day on top of the usual ones I do anyway (eg. the Gallery, Silent Sunday etc..) . Yet here I am a month later and I did it!
I was also concerned that people would be fed up of me blogging every day, but 47 posts later (total for the entire month) I am happy to report that I received lots of support, post views and comments. In fact possibly more than I would normally get. So thank you to everyone that stopped by this month and boosted my blogging confidence.
I see the whole NaBloPoMo experience as a worthwhile one that I embarked on and a positive one, for me at least.
If I were to break it down then I would say the positives and negatives of blogging everyday are as follows:
POSITIVES
Boosted my blogging confidence
Revitalised my blogging mojo
Helped me to identify which type of posts people like to read and comment on, which is useful for moving my blog forward
I feel it has helped me to find an identity for my blog at last, and I feel comfortable with it and my style of blogging finally!
Gave me a chance to write about things which I may never have had the courage to do otherwise
NEGATIVES
Less time on twitter as most nights in between doing my mummy jobs I was writing posts
It was on my mind a lot as I as always thinking of ideas for posts and their content
Ended up having some late nights as a result of it
All in all the positives outweigh the negatives so I am pleased that is the case.
THOSE 30 POSTS
I am really proud of the 30 posts I have written for NaBloPoMo – a couple were recipes which don’t really count – but those aside, I honestly think I have penned some of the best posts I have ever written for my blog. I certainly had some of my highest viewings for a few of them which makes me really chuffed.
These were the most read (and commented on) posts I wrote over the month:
20 Month Age Gap
Two Little Boys
Finding Out I Was Pregnant
Muddling Through Parenthood In My Own Way
This makes me really happy because these were all written about me :my experiences and feelings and were very personnel to me. Indeed certainly with the last two I really exposed myself and wasn’t sure whether to post them or not. I am so glad I did, not just because they were viewed well but because of the wonderful comments I received on these posts. those comments have shown me that I can write and I can write about subjects which other people relate to and can emphasise with.
So in true Jenny style, I would like to thank NABloPoMo in my own unique way and say well done to all the other bloggers who took part – we did it!!
DAY 30 – THE END

47 posts! wow! well done you – I also found it a really positive experience and yes, I also neglected twitter – similar negatives to you but mostly it was great
Congratulations!! It’s quite an achievement, I don’t think I would have been able to do it without a fair bit of stress. I think I might attempt it next year. Well done! Now you can put your feet up and have a good rest. But do this weeks Gallery!! 🙂
