Catching Up

When I started my first blog, I did it because I felt alone in Austin. I rarely talked to people, and they had no way of keeping up with what I was doing. It started out well, and I actually had a small group of readers. It also helped that during the time, I was constantly going to a doctor and having tests done. Also, I had a roommate. So, the stories I could tell were limitless.

I kept it going until the end of that school year. From August of 2003 to May of 2004, I wrote 207 posts. Some were as short as 7 words. Some were short essays. But I really covered a wide range of topics, and some of my better posts were written back then.

My second blog started in March of 2004, so there was an overlap with the first. I don't remember what inspired the second, but I know that I used it as a tool to reintroduce myself. I wanted to use different words which were previously censored. I wanted to be harsh, and more honest. I kept it going until November of 2005. During the lifetime of that blog, I wrote 608 visible posts. The count says 623, but some are drafts that were never published.

How about some more data?

Posts per year:
08/2003 - 12/2003: 51 posts.
01/2004 - 12/2004: 449 posts.
01/2005 - 12/2005: 351 posts.
01/2006 - 12/2006: 133 posts.
01/2007 - 08/2007: 54 posts.

Over 1000 posts total, but I already peaked. 2004 was quite a year, and 2005 wasn't bad.

So I feel like I need to change something. I'm not sure what though.
