It's the last day of #WeblogPoMo2024, so I thought I'd take a quick look back at the month and see how it has gone.
Overall, I'm kind of impressed I'm even writing a post on the last day. Honestly, I expected to maybe manage the first 7-or-so days, but in fact I managed to write 19 consecutive blog posts (and that's not counting the intro post on the 30th of April). In total, including today, I managed to write a post 25/31 days. I'm calling that a success.
What was less successful was my initial goal of learning Go and making something useful with it. That fizzled out around the time I had to take my daughter to hospital, which was also when my posting cadence slowed down. But, as I said in my Day One post, there is zero accountability to this. I had some fun, wrote some nonsense, learned some Go syntax. It was a win.
One thing I did enjoy was just writing stuff without really caring if it was perfect. I tried to keep my writing to a maximum of 1 hour per day, usually much less, which meant I didn't have time for perfectionism. I'm going to try and keep a higher cadence to my posting, although not every day because that's unsustainable.
Anyway, WeBlogPoMo was fun, maybe I'll do it again next year.
