I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I can say I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m the best<\/em> blogger, but I can certainly say I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m the most productive and prolific<\/em> blogger. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know anyone else who has written as much as I have, in the course of a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve eclipsed the 10,000 blog post mark (your first 10,000 blog posts are your worst), some reflections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t over until the fat lady sings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"10,000<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To never stop blogging until I die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2,600 blog post ideas in draft mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got around 10,000 published blog posts, but around 2,500 blog posts in draft mode. Which means I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a prolific thinker with lots of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to popular belief, I actually don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t publish *all* of my ideas and thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I got 10,000 posts published but 2,500 ideas in draft mode, about a third of my blog posts ideas don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually get published. But how do I know what to blog about and what *not* to blog about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I have the urge to write it, I write it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
