It's a bit surreal to think that it's been a year since I started this music blog. I know I talked quite a bit about it already in my 2022 end-of-year reflection/review, but I'm really surprised this is still going after a year. I tend to start a lot of projects and leave most of them in the dust very quickly, but this is still around after a full year, and hopefully I can keep it going for years to come.
61 record reviews, 61 song reviews and 50 lyrics of the week in a year is what I've managed to put out at the pace I set when I started this. Sure, I'm kind of missing 2 LOTWs because that idea only came to me 2 weeks after I started the blog, but it's still cool to see that the blog has become a year old, not only that but with actual consistent posts throughout the whole year. I'm having a lot of fun writing about music, as you can tell by the observable increase in word count per post throughout the year, but also because I'm learning more about music as I go and can appreciate the intricacies even better.
I didn't have anything planned for the one-year anniversary because I didn't think about it at all and didn't realise it was coming up until a week ago, but if this blog manages to hit its next anniversary I'll think of a way to celebrate it. But for now, this milestone is worth celebrating simply by just acknowledging that, somehow, I loved talking about music so much that it has become the longest-running ongoing project of mine, and haven't put aside like the many other project ideas that I have.
But also since I thought it might be cool to see, I calculated the total word count and word count of every post and LOOK AT THIS GRAPH wow.
Average Word Count Per Post: 488.06557
