April & May Blogging
Jun. 1st, 2024 04:15 amIt's been kind of a busy couple months for blogging. I say kind of because while I've posted above my average for April and May there's a lot of stuff I didn't write (yet) because I didn't have time or energy (or both). Let me share a chart since the last time I posted one of those was 3 months ago.
Here are Five Things:
1) By the numbers, I posted 65 journals in May, 68 in April, and 46 in March. That's over 2/day in April and May. That's above even my stretch goal (2.0/day) but not record setting. As you can see in the chart above, there are 2 other months in the past year I've posted more... and that's just in the past year.
2) Travel drove my blogging, as usual. March was on the slower side because I didn't really go anywhere except for a day-trip or two. But heck, 5 of my 46 blogs in March were about future travel. 😂 In April we traveled to New Zealand for 2 weeks. In May we did 9 days in Baja California (Mexico) and Phoenix. Plus a few day-trips locally.
3) I'm still backlogged on New Zealand. Although I posted 56 blogs about NZ in April and another 11 in May I still haven't cleared my backlog from the trip. After coming home from the trip in late April I estimated I'd write 30 more blogs about New Zealand. Since then I've posted 20, including the 11 in May— of which 10 were from just one epic day. Does my previous estimate hold? Do I now have just 10 blogs left to go? Er, no. I think it's going to be bigger.
4) At least I'm not backlogged from Cabo and Phoenix. I put the NZ backlog on hold to keep that from piling up, too. I wrote 33 journal entries about 9 days on the road. And finished just 6 days after returning home.
5) The road ahead: MOAR travel! June's going to be another month for travel. We've got a few trips planned, though nothing gonzo like 2 weeks in New Zealand. The biggest trip will be 5 days in Alaska, my first time visiting that state.
