editing – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

XI: Full Circle I (The Diary’s 1st Anniversary)

The last time I celebrated a blog anniversary was in 2008 – I have been using WordPress for a year and I have a different name and persona. Since then (evolving into The Deranged Writer and all), either (1) I blogged for several months and then stopped it and gave my blog a hard reset, or (2) I forgot to acknowledge my blog anniversary. That is why it is so sweet to celebrate my anniversary today after many attempts and years to blog regularly. (Even if many people don’t read blogs anymore.) Good job, self!

So, what did I learn and do to blog frequently? Here are the things I learned and my writing process on The Diary. (Buckle up because this is going to be a long post.)

III: About The Deranged Writer’s Instagram

This morning, I tried to do something different for The Diary: finish a draft before working hours. But because I’m normally a night owl and I need caffeine to function properly in the morning, I stayed away from my blog for a bit, had breakfast, drank coffee, and then did my usual clerical work. And I also joined Father on his survey in Laguna.

And while we were on the way to the job site, I scrolled through my blog. And then I found a great topic for today’s post, thanks to the nine latest Instagram posts shown on my blog’s sidebar.

Well, then. Now I’m back from Laguna, let me tell you about my Instagram account/feed!
