Welcome to the fourth and final part of my one year anniversary of Some Geek Told Me. I’ve been running this badly written blog for a year now, so what has changed for me? What have I actually learnt? There are many things, but they’re not very interesting.
Behold, this list contains various things that I have learnt, during the last 12 months:
- I’ve learnt that some of the blogs I’ve written, that I thought would be quite boring, proved to be popular; and vice versa.
- Thinking of an interesting and engaging topic for a blog, has been a lot harder than discovering Batman’s secret identity.
- Sometimes I’ll have a great idea for a blog, then it blows up in my face.
- I tend to get extremely distracted when writing a blog, which is why I can generally only do one per week.
- Proofreading and editing my work at 11pm, is not the best time to do it.
- Writing about topics that anybody could discover in a book or online, is quite difficult or stupid; not sure which one, to be honest.
- I don’t want to even think about what my pay rate for the blogs are.
- I’ve discovered a new level of gratefulness, when someone subscribes or likes a blog.
- I need to improve on my science communication blogs, because even Mr. Fantastic would disapprove of them.
- Changing the subject for the next week’s blog, multiple times a day, is not particularly helpful.
- Social distancing, contact tracing, and self isolation are now part of our lexicon. Thanks COVID.
- And finally; I still enjoy doing this side project. It’s keeping me away from participating in Street Countdown1 and cleaning the bathroom.
Anyway, thank you for reading and supporting Some Geek Told Me, it means a lot to me, and I’ll see you next week.
