Six Months Old Today 🎂🎉

Anthony39 Comments

If anybody told me, that at age 6 months, my blog would have over 132,000 views, 107,000 likes, just under 23,000 visitors, and over 1000 subscribers, I’d say they were crazy. 

Yet, here we are at six months today. I have never written as much as I have written in this past six months in my entire life. I really pushed my creativity to its limits, but it’s worth it.

I have written north of 1100, poems, posts, articles, short stories, and essays over these 6 months. I started out with approximately 7-8 poetic forms I was using. I have expanded that to over 32 now and some hybrids and combinations of forms. I truly enjoyed the technical aspects and challenges of all these different poetic forms, and just hope the words do fit in nicely. I hope the master quite a few more, which makes it far easier to write and find inspiration.

My biggest thrill was getting my first subscriber. I remember my excitement and then and there I set an initial goal of 300 subscribers by years end (about 9 months after I started my blog in March, 2024). I think I have slightly done better than that at six months, and it’s still a great thrill getting a new subscriber today.

I haven’t written this much poetry in my entire life, even in my crazy youth. Back then, I had all these little spiral-bound notebooks, I was taking with me everywhere. Now I just do it all my iPhone. I even edit the photos and add ArtFilters and do all the different visual content on my iPhone and crop it and everything. I push my creativity hard pretty much seven days a week and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

When I first started my blog, I wanted to get an audience to read my writing, provide me with feedback, good and bad and share my feelings emotions. I got so much more, this is a great community of writers artists authors, creative people all around. Very supportive and very encouraging. Such great people that I am very lucky to sharing with. ❤️

Not to mention they are all excellent writers in their own right. I will continue to do my best to produce as much high-quality material and frequently as possible and continue growing this blog and making it bigger.

My hopes are with all these writings that I am creating that I will be able to publish several books in the near future. As always, I thank you, my friends, subscribers, readers, and fellow authors for helping me get to this point! Here’s to six more months and then some. ❤️❤️❤️

        • You’re welcome. Also, I do something every day currently it’s 8 to 10 things a day, but I had accomplished some number.

          I’ve been writing enough I can re-block some of my older stuff when I had a much smaller audience but yeah you need really good stuff. You need to continue to create good material like you’re doing and consistently you know I release every hour I use the scheduling and I basically like tomorrow. I have three or four already started for tomorrow. I try to get a little bit ahead, hope that helps too
