What Was I Thinking?
Well, actually, I was thinking that commenting and engaging on posts is probably the single best way for me to improve my standing in the general community. You might want to consider that, because I can't think of a single person that would be hurt by commenting more. Real comments after you've read the post, of course.
I like to use photographs as line breaks on posts. Like the one above of The Mittens at Monument Valley. Almost inevitably there will be a comment left here about the glorious scenery. It is glorious, but not exactly what the post is about. Don't be that guy.
A bit of a refresher: I can't remember where I was a month ago, I can hardly expect you to.
I started on the 11th of August with 7850 comments to my name. On September 30 I had 9422. This morning I have 10,421 which makes for easy math. I tallied 999 comments during October.
My original goal was for 10,100 comments for the year. Last month I changed that to 12,000 at the end of 2020. I have made the first goal and if I keep up commenting at the rate I did through October I will make the new goal. Not with a lot to spare, but very doable.
So why don't you take a swing at this? You could do as I have, pick some low ball number that you KNOW you can make with ease, or do like @galenkp and make a ridiculous commitment. The choice is yours, and you can leave your commitment in the comments section, and count it as your first effort toward your goal!
Then just a simple post at the end of each month to share how you are doing and you are set. Make sue you use #comment-commitment as one tag and you are well on the path to glory and riches.
