At this time every year, there
are thousands upon thousands who make resolutions to do something or quit
something. This year I WANT TO DO SOMETHING! Many somethings. Most pertain to my blog but some – well some
include a change in me as well.
Without further ado, here are
my pledges (promises) to myself that I will try to achieve.
1- Become a more interactive blog. I want to share with people. Share ideas and thoughts about books. For anyone who knows me, this is a difficult
task. I am shy and introverted and very
private about my life but this goes against my blogging goals. To change this, I promise myself that I will
post AT LEAST ONE discussion piece per
week – something that IS NOT promo or a review. This may seem small but for someone who doesn’t
normally share much of anything this is asking a lot. Hopefully as time goes by, it will be come
easier and the creative juices will flow 😊.
Thanks to Evelina@avalinahsbooks for being a sounding board and giving me
inspiration for upcoming posts!
2-
Make myself known on social media. This title is vague but it has many
facets. To make my presence known on
social media, not only does my blog need to be more interactive but I NEED TO BE MORE INTERACTIVE. I need to post interesting posts but also
comment and engage with other bloggers as well as their posts. Thanks to Nandini@unputdownablebooks for
making me feel part of the blogging community and not just an obscure, no good
blog. Also for making me feel like
anything is possible this year!
3-
Increase
number of followers. Hopefully by achieving the above two goals,
this will take care of itself. Fingers
crossed!
4-
Increase the number of views/visits to my blog. Sometimes people need a “kick in the teeth”
and that is what I needed. After seeing
the amount of views/visits on other blogs, I realized my views don’t even
compare. It’s a sad state of affairs but
understandable due to my lack of engagement both socially and personally. I’m banking on the fact that this will
increase exponentially once all the above goals have been achieved.
This is it for me. Not a lot really but definitely a change for
me as a whole. What are your goals/resolutions this
year? Do any of them match my own? Here’s to a great New Year and to hoping all
your goals and mine are achieved!
