We reached a few milestones this past week and I wanted to share them, and thank those who have browsed through our Streaming Movie Night Blog.
I started this blog April 28, 2024, or that was the first post anyway. The Beekeeper. That post was my first casualty last week. In trying to copy posts to Instagram on our new account: https://www.instagram.com/streamingmovienight/ somehow the post got erased and I had to re-write it and post it again. Lesson learned, I immediately backed up every post I’ve made to my hard drive.
It has been just under 4 months and 27 posts, counting this one. I started Streaming Movie Night because I found myself watching a movie almost every night with my folks and started thinking, “Gee, You watch so many movies and you’re trying to do more writing…..you ought to start a movie review blog.”
Sounds easy enough. It has almost taken on a life of it’s own. The name, the logo and the format all came together pretty quickly. Don’t get me wrong, it has been a lot of work but I have enjoyed the journey so far. Watching this little baby blog grow has been a joy to witness, it keeps me going. Striving to get better and make it better.
There was daily life to circumvent; Mom’s broken arm and surgery, Dad’s emergency room stays, the numerous Doctor appointments and to top it all off we all caught Covid. Woo-hoo! I plowed on, this blog gave me a purpose. It yelled at me to keep going, It would not be ignored. It begged to be fed content every day and I felt like it was telling me what to do, suggesting things to change to make itself better.
We’ve made 27 posts, posting 15 consecutively in the last 15 days, gone from a WordPress account to our own domain(streamingmovienight.com) remodeling our look as we did so, added a store and merchandise, expanded our presence to; FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TUMBLR and YOUTUBE, received dozens of likes, and…….…ah-hum……drum roll please……..
we just surpassed OVER 500 VIEWS!
That is very exciting!
It has made the rough patches worth going through and it gives me incentive to keep calm and strive on.
I am very proud of the work I’ve done, and watching my baby grow and receive confirmation in it’s existence brings me great joy….
SO…….
Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for looking, reading, liking and acknowledging my little baby movie review blog!
Sincerely,
Bobby
