So 2018 is over. In many ways an awful year, but also one where great things happened, as I wrote in my review. 2019 promises to be one of further change, but hopefully less momentous.
Final thoughts on 2018
Looking at my stats just now, I realised I wrote 198 posts in 2018. Just a last push and I would have written 200. What has been different this year, is that even when I didn’t feel like writing I did. Those 198 posts comprised 72,546 words an average of 366 per posts. Considering my Sinful Sunday posts often contain no or very few words, that is good going. Over the course of the year my traffic doubled, and certainly over the past few months the level of interaction has been massive. During the year there were 866 comments on my posts.
The top 5 posts for the year were a little surprising:
- Chastity, does a girl need to be locked in – A kink of the week post from 2016
- Blog tour – A kind of blog share like #SoSS from 2014. Sadly none of the blogs mentioned exist today or are currently dormant.
- Posture – A February Photofest picture from 2016.
- Boobday Virgin – At last a post from 2018 and one I am very proud of
- First Experience – A kink of the week / Wicked Wednesday post about my first experience of anal sex written in January 2018
2019 is here
This year I intend to carry on writing about whatever takes my fancy. In past years I just stopped writing if I couldn’t think of anything sexy or kinky to say. Last year I realised I can write what I want here and people will still read and comment. This blog is now a diary cataloging almost 7 years of my life, every word remains valid even if I don’t like to read some of it.
There will be more fiction, I just still don’t know if I want to join the Smut Marathon. I’ll probably go right up to the wire on this. There will be plenty of meme participation including hopefully February Photofest. I’m pretty sure I will voice my opinion on a plenty of topics, some will be kink related and some won’t.
First of all though I have some treatment to go through. Yesterday I had 3 tiny black dots tattooed onto my skin and next Thursday my radiotherapy begins. I lay on my back, arms up while they performed a CT scan and ran through a simulation of the radiotherapy. My chest was covered with a gel mat which felt cool – probably a good thing as they will be using it during the treatment.
Radiotherapy will run daily (week days) till 30th so that will be January and then in February we will hopefully go away on a holiday somewhere warm. It is difficult to think past all of that at the moment, but we have ideas and plans for more fun things. I will need to find some work later in the year, but hope to keep to short freelance projects.
The biggest thing personally will probably be the divorce. Once that is done, then we will see what next.
From where I sit this afternoon, the first of 2019 the future looks pretty bright. Happy New Year.
Wishing you a healthy and happy 2019 xx
Thank you and the same to you. Happy New Year xx
I know the radiotherapy is going to be tiring and you will have your bad days for sure, but before you know it will be done and you will be sitting somewhere in the sun. I love how positive you are, Julie, and I truly believe positivity pulls us through most of the times. I wish you a very happy 219, and of course, secretly I do hope you sign up for the Smut Marathon again, but I think you knew that already 🙂

Thanks Rebel, yes I do know. xx
Happy New Year! I hope it’s the best ever… You certainly deserve a good one beautiful.
To you too, and thank you xx
I know I found it very freeing when I stopped worrying about the type of content I published. (Not that I was ever as firmly “one camp” as a lot of people, but still…) It’s a good feeling, isn’t it?
Best wishes on the next step of your road to wellness, and Happy New Year!
Thanks. I agree blogging about whatever you want is a great feeling. Happy New Year to you too Jz xx
