My plans for The Region Life in 2025

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2024 was good and your 2025 is even better. Today I wanted to take a moment, not to reflect, but talk about the new year and what I want to do with this blog. Obviously, I’m keeping it. I know I haven’t been as active as I used to be but life gets in the way. You all know how it is. Other things take priority. Anyway, let’s talk about my goals for The Region Life in 2025.

First, I want to continue my Weekly Reviews that I’ve been posting every Monday. One of my goals for 2024 was to be more organized on here and I feel like I accomplished that by writing these reviews every week. I’ve posted fifteen so far and I’m really enjoying taking note of everything throughout the week and then writing it all on Sunday evenings. I feel it’s a good recap of the day-to-day things going on in my life. I hope you are all enjoying these posts. You get a pretty good look into my life!

Second, I want to do more Exploring the Region content. As I said in my last Weekly Review, I’m toying with the idea of doing some video content for this series. I think it’d make it more fun too! We will see though. I need to actually continue making content for this series first. So, yes I want to create more Exploring the Region content. If you’re unfamiliar, check out the tab titled Exploring the Region! I find cool and interesting places in Northwest Indiana and I share them with you. 

Third (and tying into my second goal), I want to try out video content. Now whether that means videos for Exploring the Region or something entirely new…I don’t know yet. But I will figure it out because it’s something that interests me. So stay tuned!

Fourth, I want to grow my page on Instagram. It’s called The Region Life. I also need to start using it more. I feel like it’s a good way for my followers to keep up with me, especially when I’m in a writing slump. Sometimes I’ll post pictures or stories that I don’t share on here, so if you’re interested you can follow me HERE.

Lastly, and most importantly, I want to keep it simple. I want to write about what I find interesting, my passions, my life. I don’t want to overdo it and have too many things going on. Simple is better. Weekly reviews, DC Comics posts, Exploring the Region, and my random posts about anything and everything. That’s all. Maybe an occasional interview. But nothing more! I want to have fun and when I put too much on my plate I procrastinate and end up not writing for a while.

So, these are my goals for my blog this year. What are some of yours?
