What I Learned from Writing 100 posts in 100 days (#0260)

2011/02/01 By Greg

I did it: 100 posts in 100 days!  After taking roughly 21 months to write my first 160 blog posts (roughly 7.6 a month), I needed just 3.3 months (100 days) to add another 100.  This dramatic change in writing habits revealed:

  • Blogging can be a spiritual discipline
  • Writing more frequently led to reading more online content (I read more blogs than I ever had before, engaged several people I didn’t know previously, and plan to continue to interact with those people and their work)
  • I write best when a deadline looms (rather than write in spurts, I wrote one post a day every day)
  • Daily blogging led to increases in traffic in every category possible (a phenomenon that repeated each month)

So What?

What new spiritual disciplines have you discovered in recent years? How have they helped you continue to form and reform your faith?

What religious blogs do you read on a regular basis?  How have they encouraged you? challenged you?
