Earlier this month, Seth Godin published his 10,000th blog post:

One of those 10,000 posts, back in January of 2015, was one where he challenged fellow bloggers (or aspiring bloggers) to publish one post a day for a week. A “Your Turn” Challenge to build a habit of blogging. Or just a habit of creating something and “shipping it” as Seth calls it.

I took on that challenge more than a decade ago. I had been blogging sporadically prior to that. I’ve been much more prolific since. So, depending on how you feel about this blog, you have Seth to thank or blame.

But for yours truly, I owe him a huge debt of gratitude, for coaxing me out of my cave, for giving me the push I needed to write more often, for helping me find more joy in writing.

When someone uses my work to teach others or to make something better, the work has achieved its purpose. If you didn’t do your work, there’d be no point to mine.

Seth’s posts are typically short and sweet… and chock-full of food for thought. You can — and should — subscribe here.

If you’re keeping score at home, this is Post #1092 for me.

I may never get to 10,000. But I’m not trying to match Seth. I’m just trying to follow his lead.

Thanks for reading!
