Here we are, more than a week into the new year, and I'm finally getting around to goals for 2011.
I have so little time to work on genealogy and family history that I don't want to set myself up for failure with goals that are too ambitious. However, I do think I can commit to participating in my friend Amy Coffin's latest series, 52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy and History, where each Friday we'll be presented with a writing prompt for the upcoming week, to "write down the details of your own life," in Amy's words.
Amy had a great series last year (my first full year with this blog) called 52 Weeks to Better Genealogy, but unfortunately I was not able to participate in it as much as I would have liked. I seem to do better with personal family history stuff like the Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories and some of the GeneaBloggers daily blogging prompts like Wordless Wednesday (not-so-wordless in my case) and Sentimental Sunday - anything where I can post old photos!
I did the post for last week (a quick addition to a 1962 New Year's Day photo I'd already posted), and I'm working on the prompt for this week. I hope to have it up on January 11, the 38th anniversary of the event in some of the photos I'll be posting that day.

I feel the same way - anytime I can post a photograph I do.
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy to beat yourself up for not doing more and different things on your genealogy blog. I just assume that if what you get done is what is easiest and most interesting to you, then it will be to your readers, too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you! Thanks for commenting!
