This is the 1,000th blog post I’ve published on danoshinsky.com. How’d I get here?
In 2008, I started publishing on this blog, but I got serious about it in spring 2015. I was doing less writing at work, and wanted to make sure I always made time to write.
So every week since, I’ve found something to write. Some are inspired by a conversation I’ve had, or something I’ve read, or something in the news, or something happening at work. When I first started writing, I worried I’d eventually run out of post ideas, but for seven years, I’ve always found something to write about. (There’s always more to say, it turns out.)
Some of these blog posts are good, but many are not. And that’s OK! In a year, if I publish a handful of really good ones, I’m thrilled.
So how do you get to 1,000 posts? You pick a routine, and stick with it.
Mine is simple: I write, and write often.
