I’ve had another successful week here. In fact, I think what I should do now is come up with something new. Details below…
- Blog every day: Again, success.
- I actually managed another post besides my status update last Sunday, pointing everyone at an article about the fifteen things to stop doing for a happier life.
- Monday, I suggested that we should all start liking everything Facebook tells us to and drive it berserk.
- Our Two for Tuesday artist was Huey Lewis and the News, and I also said goodbye to legendary NBC announcer Don Pardo.
- Wednesday was a review of The Beatles’ Anthology 3, in honor of the fact that I found my copy of it.
- Continuing with the Fab Four, I named my ten favorite Beatles albums on The Thursday Ten.
- Friday, I got on a bit of a rant about the obsession with social media after I read an article saying that, by 2058, we’ll be posting to it a hundred times a day, if the growth in it continues at its present rate.
- Finally, yesterday I advertised a free class in Scrivener being offered by Joseph Michael, “the world’s greatest Scrivener coach,” and sponsored by K. M. Weiland, author of many Amazon bestsellers, including Structuring Your Novel.
- Work with Evernote every day: Did this, with an eye to accumulating and curating all of the tips and tricks I find in books and on websites for using it and presenting them in some sort of summary form here on the blog, for all y’all who have mentioned, “yeah, I could really use that…” I hope to be done with that by the end of the round.
And that’s all the news from this end. Hope everyone else is doing well. Straight ahead!
The Sound of One Hand Typing 
A very successful week. Blogging every day is no mean feat and my metaphorical hat goes off to you! 🙂
Have you ever considered vlogging? How do you feel about it? I’m half toying with the idea myself, maybe one vlog a month or something. There’d be a bit of a learning curve to make things half way decent, but it would be fun (for me) too. 🙂
Anyway, well done on a very productive week. 🙂

Vlogging? Not really. I know some people who do it occasionally, and I generally enjoy their stuff, but as far as me doing it? Probably not.

Another productive week, John. Well done. I wish I knew why some WP blogs (including yours) come through on my ipad as 1s and 0s on a bright blue background. most irritating. but apparently WP knows about this problem and are working on it. have a great night

1’s and 0’s on a blue background? Hmmmm…

A hundred times a day? Does that count comments? Because I’ve hit that already if it does…

They never said. The people who did the survey run a social media site that’s pretty much the same as Twitter, so I’m thinking probably not. But it might be…

I think you’re onto something! Both with your daily blogging, and the content of your blogs. I especially liked the one about social media – 100x/day? Scary! I hate both Facebook and Twitter, so I’ll be the one to bring that average down LOL. I do like blogs, though, so keep up the good work on yours!

It means a lot hearing that. Thanks! I’m feeling a lot more comfortable with it.
