104 Posts In 2012?

Late last year (2011), I renewed a commitment I had made earlier that year, and said I would post 104 posts by the end of this year. Unfortunately, I slacked off. As of today, to achieve that goal, I would need 67 more posts (excluding this one)

in about 50 days. That would mean multiple posts on some days. There are two problems with that: I think that number of posts would overwhelm many of my readers. Secondly, I think it is an unrealistic target for me.

Looking at the Archives list on the right column of this page, you can see that for August, September and October this year, I had 25 posts in total, meaning an average of about 8 posts a month. From those statistics, 8 posts a month is a realistic target for me and I think that would not be too much for my readers. Let me mention here that taking part in Friday Fictioneers has been very helpful in ensuring that I write at least one post per week (in addition to providing excellent practice, bringing readers and letting me read great stories. I think I will just write a separate post about Friday Fictioneers). So I have decided to extend the deadline for the 104 posts to June 30th 2013. That means that we will have 2 to 3 posts per week at least until June 2013, and probably beyond. I think everyone wins this way: my dear readers do not get overwhelmed, I do not get overwhelmed, and the posts continue beyond the original ‘deadline.’ Hooray!

Thanks for reading!
