Mission Complete

After digging through the archives of fabricthatmademe—more than 249 blog posts deep—I’m thrilled (and a little exhausted) to say: I’ve officially republished 75 blogs straight. Every. Single. Day. We did it! And now… It’s time to breathe.

This process has been one of the most personal and transformative projects I’ve ever taken on. It started small—just a few edits here and there after a platform update gave me access to some new tools. But one glance at the older posts, and I was sucked into a full-blown mission. Let’s just say my mix of ADD and a dash of OCD had a field day.

But really, it became something extra special. A full-circle journey.

I wanted to revisit my work the way you’d rewatch a favorite movie or reread a beloved book—this time with fresh eyes, deeper wisdom, and maybe a little more skill. Some pieces I edited lightly, others I shredded entirely. Some felt like old friends. Others were painful time capsules. But all of it was mine.

What began as raw, emotional outpourings slowly matured into more intentional, thoughtfully crafted expressions. My voice shifted—from “actually…” to “honestly…” to “truly…”—always reaching for the right words to carry the weight of my heart, sometimes pouring out too much, other times not quite enough.

Over the years, writing has been my therapy, my prayer, and my loudest whisper. Sometimes bold and passionate, sometimes subtle and aching—but always truth and heart… and plenty of typos.

Through this process, I’ve realized: I don’t fit one style. I’m not here to box myself into one category of writing. I love personal, journal-style entries. I enjoy writing from research and real-life experience, almost like a magazine feature. I pen poems, stories, devotionals, reflections on faith, and spiritual wanderings. I share it all because I live it all.

I had hoped that maybe this little mission of mine might help me tailor myself into one category, but I think I am still just Skelly. I write whatever feels right at the moment.

My faith journey has deepened. My courage to speak (and sometimes hold back) has matured. I now understand that just because I can say something doesn’t always mean I should. Wisdom is knowing the difference—and knowing when to sit with God before I hit “publish.”

Rereading my posts, I saw the waves of emotion—grief and confusion, yes—but also joy, gratitude, motivation, and peace. A little sorrow, a little light. But always, always: back to Jesus.

On a different note, this process also revealed something technical but important: bots and fake followers. Spam accounts, junky ads, and weird websites had snuck their way into my followers list. So, I cleaned house. If you’re truly here for the writing—please subscribe. It helps me know who’s real, who’s reading, and who’s walking this journey with me.

This milestone—75 posts in a row—is a personal triumph. And now, I’m ready to take a much-needed break. I plan to read more of your posts, discover new blogs and books, and spend some time away from the keyboard, letting inspiration refill me.

But I’ll be back soon, with a fresh site update, a new post, hopefully good news to share, and a full heart.

To those of you who’ve read, re-read, commented, messaged, or even quietly supported—thank you. This space is a labor of love. If you like what I write, please share it, tell me, and help me grow. It reminds me that I’m not shouting into the void.

Here’s to what’s next. To rest. To reflection. And to writing again—when the time is right.

With gratitude and so much love,
Skelly

      Thanks! This last stretch was different than my usual but I’m glad I did it! I am going to take some time to get into other people’s work over the next few weeks! I hope to read more of yours!

        Thank you! I started the next DLTDGB the other day; hopefully I’ll sit down and make time to finish it by my usual posting time of Sunday morning. This next episode will be a little different, because it will be pretty heavily embellished (as opposed to just telling a story that actually happened to me in 1998). I don’t want to give too much away, but I’ll say that I remember there being a major change in my weekly routine in November 1998. I don’t remember there being any specific incident leading to me making that change, it was just more of a general feeling (again, hard to explain without giving things away). So I’m embellishing the story based on a composite of specific incidents that happened to me in similar settings much later in life.

          Ooooh, I can’t wait to read it! I’m still trying to find my rhythm again. I have my OG writing friends I always keep up with, but I follow so many others that I’ve either fallen behind or completely forgotten about—some truly great blogs I’ve recently rediscovered! There are so many amazing voices out there I still want to explore. Just trying to find the time and flow! Can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on!
