Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's the long holiday weekend, but here's today's post.
Today marks my 1,001st post.
Looks like it hit 1,000 the other day, lol.
I was thinking, "I've been writing this for quite a while now...," but,
I was on Ameblo for 97 days, and it’s been 904 days since I moved here.

I’ve deleted some of my Ameblo posts and moved them over here, but it seems there are still some posts that people are reading.
It seems most people are coming here.
It may sound cliché, but the only reason I've been able to keep this up this long is thanks to all of you.

I can write this because there are people reading it.
On average, a little over 11,000 people view this blog each month.
And recently, the site has been receiving an average of 130,000 page views per month.
It really freaks me out to think that this many people are watching this lol
Even though I keep thinking, “I can’t write anything bad…” I end up writing silly stuff anyway.
There's this subtle vibe around me that makes it kind of hard to stop, so I'm doing a "chic hack" and writing every day lol
People tend to think I’m making it sound easy, but there are times when it’s really tough.
Especially on days when I went out drinking the night before.
Actually, I was out drinking last night with a friend from elementary and middle school (who’s in Aichi for work), so I’m a little behind on my blog posts lol
It's not so bad if the day after drinking is a day off, but it's tough when I'm swamped with work.
It's tough when I'm out of ideas. Actually, those times when I'm out of ideas might be the hardest of all.
At times like that, I look through the photos I’ve taken and think about quality control… work-in-progress management… photo management… and so on.
And that's when I decide to write that.
When I need an illustration, I either draw it myself (using Illustrator or Photoshop) or look for one online.
It usually takes about 1 to 2 hours to write a blog post like this.
I now consider this part of my job, so it’s something I absolutely have to do every day.
Even though I have absolutely no special talents, I’ve come to realize that sticking with just one thing can lead to all sorts of positive results.
This blog may be just a simple one, but,
We look forward to your continued support.
See you later.
