You probably don't need this bit at all, but I feel unsolicity advisey. And in case it helps anyone else: One of the top 3 decisions I've made this year was simply to blog once a week.
This post today is on Hacker News and doing awesome. Tomorrow's likely won't be so lucky. Or next week's. Sometimes the Twitter followers grow a ton, and then it stalls for weeks.
Just keep doing it. Sometimes someone very important and influential finds that old post everyone else seemed to ignore months ago. Sometimes it's just a single email that says, "This really helped me today."
After doing it long enough, you realize looking back, it all built on itself. None of it was wasted.
Yup, totally agree. Running a blog is definitely a marathon. I did make the mistake of giving up too early in previous projects. So I will take this lesson to heart. Thanks so much for reminding me this.
