canyonwalkerAugust was a pretty good month for blogging. I wrote 70 journal entries, my most since December 2024 (when I also wrote 70). At 2.26 blogs per day it's a big uptick from my pace in July and June, when it felt like a struggle just to hit 1.5/day.
What was different in August? The obvious answer is travel. This blog has always been primarily about my adventures and observations while traveling, and in August I had a whopping 5 trips.
Part, too, of publishing 70 journal entries in the month was planning them out. For most of the month I hit a stride of 2/day. I did that often with a conscious 1+1 combination: 1 post about a trip I'd taken recently, 1 about something else that was happening.
Late in the month I upped my pace as my trip in Canada brought more things to write about. I wrote 3-4 a day for several days. And I'm still about 5 days behind! But writing that much while still doing things took even more planning. I drafted posts ahead of time to get some of the easier and/or repetitive work out of the way when I had idle time, then filled in photos, video, and colorful details when I was ready with them.
September is shaping up to be another busy blogging month, too. For starters I've still got a backlog of about 10 Canada trip posts I'm working through. Then I've got 4 more trips planned for September!
