Keep going??

I promise I will update soon...tomorrow after the Eclipse fever is over...

Technically, as of June 24th, I have completed my 365 days. My question to you is, should I keep going? Should I make it 730 days?

This is a test to see if I have followers and if you guys want me to keep going so please comment and let me know your opinion.

Thanks!
