February a "slow" month for blogging

canyonwalkerFebruary was a slow month for blogging. That's surprising because it didn't feel like a slow month. Indeed there were days when I published 3 or even 4 blogs a day. The numbers don't lie, though. On a daily average basis February was my slowest month in 9 months.
"Slow" is a relative term, of course. In January I posted more than 2.0 blogs/day on average. At the end of January I mused that I might not even hit 1.5/day in February. Instead I posted just over 1.8 blogs/day on average.
That compares favorably with the goals I set several years ago. At a minimum I'd write at least 1/day; at target I'd write 1.5/day; and as a stretch goal I'd post 2/day. Indeed in the past 14 months I've met or exceeded even my stretch goal 9 times. Maybe I should increase my goals.
I could have written more in February. I've still got a few blogs in the backlog from our trip to Las Vegas two weeks ago. Add in a few other blog ideas I've been meaning to write about, and I could have surpassed the 2/day level again. I just didn't have the time or energy to squeeze in those last several blogs late in the month. And I'm not forcing myself. I blog because I want to, not because I have to.
What do I expect for March? Honestly, "slow" again. At the moment I don't have any travel planned, business or leisure. Travel drives a lot of my writing topics. So maybe March will be 1.5/day or a bit lower. But I do intend to write at least something every day.
