Day 31: Plan what acts of kindness you will do in 2018.
I think I’ll keep on being me. I do pretty well. Except for the forgiveness thing. I’ll keep working on that. LOL
In the mean time, let’s talk about the blog. Yup. End of the year. Time to review, take stock, see what’s working and what isn’t. I firmed up into three standard posting days this year with occasional offshoots and surprise posts. Fiendish Friday, Sunday Sup, and Book Review Monday are all doing evenly well. Except….
The pure stats:

Blog posts I thought were funny but got fat ignored:
Um. I got nothing. I spent about 90 minutes going through my lowest views posts looking for some that deserved more attention and I got none from this year. LOL. Maybe my posts weren’t as funny as previous years. Maybe I was more concerned about offending people than necessary. Which leads me to …
I think when all is said my blog has plateaued. I need to figure out how to jump start it’s growth again. I don’t have the foggiest clue how to make that happen.
If you’ve got thoughts, I’d love to hear them. Til next year my friends.

I’d like to see you post more of your writing … any length (okay 1000 word max) and style. All the best for 2018. Eric.

My blogs grew fastest when I spent the most time reading and commenting on other people’s blogs–getting to know others in the blogosphere. It was fun and rewarding, but very time consuming.

I noticed recently I spend way less time doing that than I did last year. But I published this year, twice. I need to find more time.Lol. the age old saga.

Yes, such a balancing act. I feel like one of those jugglers standing on a chair that’s got one leg on top of a ball, while I’m spinning plates on sticks from my chin and forehead and juggling 5 balls in the air. Sigh… It was great to take a break between Christmas and New Year’s Day. I only worked on my book for a few hours even though there’s much to be done. Sometimes rest is most productive.
