Committed
At the end of the year, during the year end re-cap post we will know if I was able to make my goal of 20,000 comments. I at least do not have as many to go for my goal as 
With 19 weeks of the Engagement League under my belt, I have a good idea of where I was and where I need to be. My total comment count for the nineteen weeks that ended on Sunday was: 1,571.
We have about 21 weeks left to go in the year, I at least get one more day than Galen, since he is already into Monday when I am still living in Sunday.
I do not expect my style of comments to change at all for the challenge, I have somewhat over aggressive fingers when it comes to commenting, although I have been trying to make them a little bit shorter unfortunately not with much success.
My average comment length is 34,052.89. Just one of the many stats that Asher tracks for us in his Curation and Engagement League. That's last Sundays post, if you have never seen or looked at one. I take all the information he provides me and put it into a spreadsheet so I pretty much have it all available.
Since before Hive began I have been wanting to get to the 20,000 mark by the end of this year, and to be a dolphin by the end of the year. With the happenings on steem and the birth of Hive I did make it to Dolphin status early, but comments are going to still need a lot of work.
So there you have it. My commitment. I honestly do not know if I will make it or not, but is that really the point, the real point is to try and up my engagement levels. Five of the nineteen weeks I had missed my target of ten comments a day, four of the weeks I made it in to the 110-120 range of comments. I will have to now try to up it to the 130-140 range of comments for the week.
Realistically I'll be closer to 19,000, but that would still be nice. We just have to wait and see.
