You probably don't need this bit at all, but I feel unsolicity advisey. And in case it helps anyone else: One of the top 3 decisions I've made this year was simply to blog once a week.

This post today is on Hacker News and doing awesome. Tomorrow's likely won't be so lucky. Or next week's. Sometimes the Twitter followers grow a ton, and then it stalls for weeks.

Just keep doing it. Sometimes someone very important and influential finds that old post everyone else seemed to ignore months ago. Sometimes it's just a single email that says, "This really helped me today."

After doing it long enough, you realize looking back, it all built on itself. None of it was wasted.
