Blogging About Blogging
Let’s Get Meta
Given my vision for the blog, 2019 was a successful year, i.e. I posted every day. In addition, I tinkered with the content, currently settling on horses Monday through Thursday; photography, writing & art on Friday, Saturday & Sunday, with various levels of horse-relatedness on those days. Without the blog, I probably would have written & taken photos anyway. I definitely would not have done as much art/graphic design without Sunday posts looming at the end of each week.
Overall, I’m content with where blog is. It keeps me amused, there is a group of nice folks who read & comment, and I have so far managed to avoid attracting trolls. Win, win, win. Of course, I dream about being outstanding. I comfort myself with the fact that success is not an unalloyed blessing. I read blogger advice and keep myself open to fun ideas, collaborations, challenges, blogger meet-ups, and what not. Meanwhile, I will be out…standing in my field.

Bottom Line. My blog has a purpose – to keep me from going batshit crazy. [I’m Baaaaaack … With Camera] 2013
So this is me, writing my blog, saying what I have to say, then looking around to see if anyone is interested in reading. [Attitude Check] 2013
If I had to define a stretch goal, I would want my blog to open doors that I don’t even know were there. [What I Want From My Blog] 2015
Not much has changed.

Update
Top Nine did send an end of the year version. Subtract one cat pic. Add one Christmas wreath.
