Last year around the end of January I looked at the blog and realized I had put up at least one post every day since December 29. I thought to myself that perhaps I could see how long I could go making at least one post a day. I made it through a couple months and thought, hmm, this isn’t so bad. Then I thought, maybe I can make it until the Wine Blogger Conference last July and then I’ll give myself a break. However, I got to the end of July and the Conference and thought, I’m so close to a year, let’s see if I can make it entire year posting every day.
So I did. Yesterday marked that day. I expect things will slow down just a little around here in the new year as I don’t think I can do it again this year what with a new job on the horizon and other things in life slowing me down just a bit. I must admit it’s a little odd to have set a silent goal in my head, but I don’t generally do very well with goals I announce to the world!
Many thanks to all who have read through my year of posting! I’m giving myself a gold star 🙂

Well done! I don’t know how you did it. I’ve tried the every day thing…it’s dang near impossible!
You define “sticktuitiveness”. Not only that but the blog’s nice to read too 🙂
Fantastic! You deserve it. Happy New Year
Wow, that is quite an achievement, congratulations! I mean really, wow, because since I started my blog six months ago, I’ve only posted 4 times a week even on my very best week, and I only work about 30 hours a week in my day job. So 365 posts in a year — you are “crushing it,” as Gary Vaynerchuk would say. You inspire me to work harder. : )
Well done M, its quite an effort and achievement, especially as you have been blogging for 3 years. . . Most blogs start with a flurry and then fade slowly but surely, so extra kudos to you.
Best of luck in 2010.
That is simply a remarkable achievement. I have enjoyed following your tasting experiences all year long. You deserve a break in the action!
Excellent work! I would imagine that you’ve found your writing has improved over the course of that year. Have you thought of putting together some kind of book based on the year’s posts, sort of a “A Year in the Life of a Wannabe Wino” type of thing?
Way to go, Megan. I’ve never made it through a month of daily posting, much less a year. Don’t know how you find the time and motivation but more power to you.
Happy New Year,
David
That’s quite a commitment and a lot of wine–congrats! (I know because I try to post at least once a day as well. In just over three years of blogging, I just hit the 900 post mark! That’s on Art Predator–I’m a lot less regular on WIne Predator…more like 7 a month instead of 7 a week!)
