Project52 fail

So at the start of the year I pledged my allegiance to the #p52 movement and aimed to write 1 new blog post per week for a year.

I failed.

So this is where I recant multiple excuses to explain my failure. While I got off to a good start with some posts that generated a fair number of comments everything seems to be happening at once and the amount of ‘free’ time I can devote to writing has all but vanished into thin air for a short while. As well as some new projects coming my way in my ‘day job’ which I’ve been working flat-out on for a couple of weeks I’ve also started to dip my toe back into the freelance waters and have been working on a couple of small projects on an evening as well as off bits of wedding planning here and there and the odd job interview to mix things up a bit leaving very little time to blog. Plus (and I know @garyvee might disagree) there’s 24, Lost and a whole host of other fine television programming which demand my attention.

I do plan on, and want to write regularly but once a week just doesn’t seem sustainable for a whole year, life and work will invariably get in the way. I’d rather take the time to write posts than crack out half-assed ones every week. So I’m handing in my #p52 membership card and commemorative plate and will be writing when I can from now on.

  1. Don’t give up yet, “giving up is permanent”. Get up 10 minutes earlier in the mornings and spend 10 mins on your blog, before you do any other work. Good luck with it.
