I did it.

Today I earn my last weekly powerup for the month and my monthly powerup from Hivebuzz. I've also published a post every day of this month for the first time since I joined what is now Hive back in 2017 during the old Steemit days.

As a very busy guy who also cares for an ill relative, time for me is something that needs to be managed, so its always been tricky for me to post here on Hive as much as I'd like to.

But after seeing a veteran Hivian earn a yearly badge by stringing together a dozen monthly badges, I wanted to try for a monthly badge of my own.

Its even more difficult as I've also been writing for other platforms outside of Hive due to the meager (but very appreciated) support that I receive here. So I borrowed some time, and gave it a go.

And I did it.

What's Next?

I don't know what I'm going to do after today. I'd hoped that at least one of the posts this month would crack $10 but the closest I got was 5 and change. My 30-day total (not counting today's post) was $40.65 or a $1.35 per post average.

Now I know that some of you will earn more than $40.65 for just one post. But this is what came in and I appreciate every single upvote.

However, since half is split with the curators, my actual earnings for the month were roughly $20.32 for the month or about $0.67 cents per post.

Prior to beginning this quest, I had a fleeting thought of maybe going for a yearly badge, but considering the amount of time invested in each post, it likely won't be doable for me over the rest of the year.

However, I have enjoyed a burst of creativity by getting into a routine of regular daily writing. I picked up a few new followers and was able to engage with the few visitors who left comments on my posts, and was usually able to visit theirs and leave my thoughts as well.

Tomorrow is a new day, and I'm incredibly thankful to each and every one of you who took the time to comment and support my work.

A big thank you to the Ecency curators, without whose encouragement and support this monthly quest would not have been possible. Thanks to all and HIVE ON! :)
