Worth the risk?

Bear danger is real because so many visitors have no clue how to sensibly behave in the wild.

Worth the risk to publish 10 consecutive days of photo-free posts?

Yes.

Why?

Because of the experiments from several months ago.

Remember?

Posts with text only.

Posts with photos only.

Posts with videos only.

The original experiments where small risks at the time.

There was setup and “warning” about the coming changes.

Explained the “why”.

What seemed like a (small) risk at the time was simply a slow and steady way to improve.

Improve what?

Improve the ability to manage life and a daily, two-hour (average) writing commitment. And, the advent of some major life changes on the horizon.

Worth noting

13-second video: What leadership attitude is necessary to ensure (demand) every employee understands the customer service bullseye?

Worth noting that this prolific writing is always under current, real time life conditions.

Meaning, there’s always something present or something hidden around the corner. Issues, situations, challenges, emergencies, priorities, etc.

As you know from your own life, there are days with great weather, average weather, and stormy weather.

Under every condition, no matter the severity or bliss, writing prevails.

Writing never takes a day off.

Ever.

Photos breathe life

Photos breathe life into almost everything, including blog posts.

This is why i always use them.

Now into the 14th consecutive year writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts, the first few years where just text. No photos.

Why?

Probably didn’t know how to add photos. Or maybe the process was cumbersome. Don’t recall exactly.

Can remember vividly when the WordPress operating system made it easier, i began using photos and have never deviated.

Why?

Because photos help tell a story or make a point better than words, generally.

Back to back weeks

Turning Red Pixar ad
Just watched Turning Red. Pixar’s storytelling continues to excel.

Back to back weeks.

What?

Back to back week-long experiments:

  1. One week with only photos
  2. One week with no photos

It will be fun and interesting to see how i like it when it goes live.

Note: Odds are decent it will happen again before these two week-long experiments publish. This means any decision to continue either experiment will be a blind, gut feeling, not a visual and verifiable experience.

No picture creates pressure

No picture creates pressure to create interest and or enjoyment using only words.

Why would anyone read something that doesn’t have a visual magnet?

Much like the first routine things you do every morning, no one has any interest. But offer a photo or two and it’s a different ballgame.

Diggin’ day four of this photo-less blogging experiment.
