Aaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!

I think that’s how I normally start my annual attempt at blogging throughout the month of June. It’s rare for me to make it through all of June blogging every day. My #blogjune stats so far:

• 2010 -34 posts
• 2011 – 24 posts
• 2012 – 23 posts
• 2013 – 4 posts
• 2014 – 30 posts
• 2015 – 14 posts

My non June blogging continues to be erratic and infrequent. For a while there it was rapidly approaching quarterly. I was recently revisiting one of my old, old blogs and trying to get a sense of how I managed to post so much. All I can say is that it was a different time: perhaps I had more time and some of it was in that sense of moving from an annotated bunch of links to informal bits and pieces to occasional thought out pieces.

I have managed to increase the tempo a little of late, writing 3 posts in April; leaping to 7 in May. In fact as June drew closer I was unsure whether to continue blogging in May in order to maintain momentum or start saving stuff for June in case I run out of puff. I was in the right sort of mood last night so I sat and wrote 3 posts and they’re ready to go. June is filmfest month which will provide some useful fodder. Books, I can always blog about books.

The two challenges for me, as always, are lasting to the end of June and continuing on after.
