Previous Year-In-Review Posts
In recent years, I’ve adopted a slightly different format for my year-in-review posts. I’ve made it more of a recap of the topics I’ve written about throughout the year. The truth is, blogging in real time is hard and it’s something I’m still working to get better at. This is the best format I’ve been able to come up with without spoiling unwritten blog posts that are still in the pipeline. I hope that this can be a fun recap for those of you who maybe missed a post or two throughout the year. I’d like 2025 to be the year I can catch up and stay current on my blog. Maybe that’s a good New Year goal for me. 🤞🏼
Thanks for sharing your year-in-review post with us! Always a great to look back and reflect on how much you’ve grown in writing and as a person over 12 months. Here’s to another year of more blogging!
