I Wish to Be a Blogger Again

 

 

Today, on 1 July 2025, I want to start writing regularly on this blog again. I know I cannot write every single day, but I can certainly manage one post a week. It really doesn’t matter whether others read my posts or not-when I started blogging, I began from scratch.

Earlier today, I was thinking that I need a hobby-something I truly enjoy. I decided that I would dedicate one hour every day to this hobby. And what better hobby than blogging? I’ve enjoyed it for many years. I started blogging in January 2006, and in just six months, it will be 20 years.

Now, I feel ready to be a blogger again. This time, I want to treat it purely as a hobby-something I do for fun and personal fulfillment. This post marks the beginning of that journey, and it also outlines my future plans as a blogger.

First and foremost, since I’m treating blogging as a hobby, I won’t worry about earning money or attracting visitors. What matters most is that I spend one hour each day just for blogging. This might include writing, reading about blogging, or watching videos related to it.

My main goal is consistency-dedicating one hour daily. I won’t aim to publish a post every day. Instead, my realistic target is to write one or two quality posts per week. Initially, I’ll focus on building a habit and developing regularity.

If I aim to publish one post per week, each around 2000–3000 words, I can break it down into smaller writing sessions. Writing 300–400 words per day would be enough. That would take around 20–30 minutes, and I could spend another 30 minutes on planning and reading.

Once the post is complete, I’ll publish it and let other bloggers know about it-just like I used to do back in 2009. I now regret not taking it more seriously at that time. Back then, I was a full-time professional blogger and had a team. Some of my blogs ranked very well on Google. Often, within just a minute or two of publishing, my posts would be indexed by Google.

Of course, things are different now. Google no longer supports small independent blogs like it once did. But as I’ve said, I’m not blogging for traffic, money, or rankings-this is a personal pursuit. I’ll focus on the process, not the outcome. Quality will come naturally over time if I remain consistent.

If it’s truly a hobby, then I need to be passionate about it and enjoy it. Interestingly, I’m writing this post using speech recognition software, and I’ve written over 500 words in just 15 minutes.

What matters most is regularity. I plan to publish one post per week but work on it every day. I cannot go back and change the past, but I can learn from it and use my experience to do something meaningful now. I believe I can be successful this time.

I know this journey will take time, but if I work consistently-just one hour a day-I'll see great results after 100 days. Since 26 March 2025, I’ve taken writing seriously. Now, writing 1000 words a day feels natural.

Today, I already wrote an article about the e-commerce industry in Bangladesh (around 950 words) to submit to a local magazine. Now I’m writing this blog post, which I expect will also be around 1000 words.

It brings me so much joy and satisfaction to know that I’ve started again-seriously-on 1 July 2025. Today, I ignored distractions. I didn’t waste time on Facebook, entertainment, or the news. I simply focused on writing. That’s how I managed to write 2000 words in English in a single day.

Now, my dream is to become a blogger again. In the past, I mostly wrote about the business of salvation. At this point, I’m not sure which topic I should focus on. For now, I’ll write about whatever comes to mind. Once I build the habit, I’ll be able to narrow it down to a niche. Right now, the best strategy is to just keep writing.

It took me only 22 minutes to write 750 words, and I think this post turned out well. If I had written like this in 2006 or 2007, it would have gained a lot of attention.

Anyway, I’m simply happy that I’ve restarted my writing journey from 1 July 2025. This time, I will not give up. I’ll give my best every day. I truly hope to become successful as both a writer and a blogger.

Thank you all for reading this post.
