Thoughts On 18 Years of Blogging

As we change the proverbial calendar (because, who has a real one these days?), I wish all reading this (the several dozen of you) the 2025 you want.

For me, New Year’s Day is also a reminder that another year of blogging has come and gone. This one makes it “legal” at 18, which in some regards is hard for me to even comprehend. As I have stated before, what I went into with zero expectations has continued; though the volume of posts isn’t always as I would hope, the fact that people are still reading and occasionally contacting me by email or comments is always a positive sign.

Where I gave up on predicting the future years ago, I am taking a more concerted effort in defining my own, and I do hope to share tales of this journey as well as other stories from the past and present here on the digital pages of The Hot Iron. Perhaps I will read a book or 2 more this year and share my takeaways from them too.

Happy New Year!
