The 9 Year Blog Anniversary Post!

 

Yes, I've been at this, right here on Dora Reads -

(or it's previous name of 'Diary of a Reading Addict' aka DORA - and I do not miss typing the full thing out all the time 😅) 

- for a full NINE FREAKING YEARS!

In internet time, that makes me the wise old oracle/grump in the corner, tbh.

...And sometimes I do feel like that.

I mean, sometimes the noobs just need to get off my lawn and stop going round in circles on the same discourse points we all did to death nearly a decade ago. (If I have to hear the quality vs quantity debate one more time... 😅)

In all seriousness, this year has been horrible, personally, and has been the closest I've come to giving up blogging in a while.

...But I'm still here. I'm a resilient little so-and-so, and blogging's good for me. 

(So's cutting back every now and then, so don't panic if I take the occasional break!)

I overthink and fret a lot over this blog, but at the end of the day, I'm pretty proud of the way I've relentlessly carved myself this small corner of the internet.

My expectations for it and myself are eternally high, and I need to learn to temper that with not running myself into the ground - something I've been trying to do for the entirety of my blogging life - but I'm not the type to give up when the road gets rough.

...The road's been rough for a lot longer than nine years, after all. And I'm still here.
