LiveJournal has been sending me little nudges for the past few months encouraging me to write more. For example, I saw one like this today:

You have been writing for 2 days now. Write a post today (19.11) and extend the uninterrupted series!
Here's the thing, though. My writing streak isn't just 2 days, it's 230 days. I've written here every day ( Read more... )

It's my 3 year anniversary of blogging on Dreamwidth. Oh, I've been blogging longer than that.... I started on LiveJournal over 12 years ago. And I do still blog on LiveJournal. I cross-post (manually 😡) to both ( Read more... )

Well, I did it. I wasn't sure I could maintain the pace to do it but I did. I broke my record for bloggiest month. With a whopping 84 posts in September I hit an average of 2.8/day.

PDX Airport - Monday, May 2. 10pm.

After sightseeinging in Astoria and Cape Disappointment on the mouth of the Columbia today we made our way back upriver to Portland.
