Looking Ahead to 2024 on My Blog

The last two #Blogmas challenges have gone very well, mainly because I wrote up my schedule of posts well in advance and published them. That simple approach kept me focused and kept me on track. Now, I can’t do exactly the same for 2024, as I can’t predict which books, records or plays might inspire me. However, I have a number of key ideas that I can build my blog around this year. As I am writing them down, I will have created the necessary focus I need to ensure that 2024 sees continued growth for a blog I am quietly proud of.

• A minimum of 4 posts a month – I was going to write one per week, but I can’t guarantee that every seven days something will appear on here, nice though that would be. This way, I will have a minimum of 44 posts over the January to November period with #Blogmas to increase that total to around 70 posts next year.
• The Wonder Years Re-watch – I have had the entire Wonder Years on DVD for about two and a half years, and never got round to watching it. This year, I WILL watch it and what’s more I will blog about it, Season by Season. 6 posts between now and next November guaranteed, although I have a suspicion that some seasons may require more than one post to do them justice.
• The A-Z of My Singles Collection will be finished up. I am 9 blogs in and I think I will need at least another 12 to complete it, perhaps more.
• My occasional series where I reflect upon my Vinyl collection will become a monthly fixture with one album played and reviewed from January to November. Another 11 posts there.
• As a teenager, before music took over my pocket money priorities, I had another obsession, namely the Panini Football Stickers. I got within 8 stickers of completing Football 78 – which I did thanks to eBay many years later – and I completed Football 79. I will be getting my stickers down from the loft and taking pictures of many of the pages to tell the story of my collections. Given the size of the collections, I think at least 8 posts will be needed to do them justice.

Well, that’s a minimum of 37 posts there, so the majority of my planned posts are going to be focused on these four ongoing themes, and I will no doubt be finding other things to blog about in 2024. As I look to increase my posts, and my readership, I know I will need to be disciplined but I think I will manage it. I hope you will stay with me for this year, and that you enjoy the range of subjects and my enthusiasm for them!

See You in 2024!
