I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out and thank our friend Rebecca Smith for the idea of this writing challenge. For this reason, we agreed on word count parameters whereby each entry must be at least 250 words in length but no more than 1000, unless, of course, the power of inspiration kicks in and the piece basically writes itself. We also want to commit to this exercise and not make it overbearing, yet ensure the content is readable. It’s for that reason we came up with the target road map listed below. We also don’t want the blogging to be fluff or uninteresting. It’s very easy to run out of ideas if you’re trying to write on a daily basis. A blog-off, if you will.Īs you might imagine, we had to come up with guidelines and a game plan in order to make this work. So this is a prologue to a challenge Lee and I have imposed on ourselves to blog every day for thirty days. When driven by someone else, however, I may get around to actually doing it.
By myself, it’s simply not going to happen. I want to launch my blog site and write something, anything, every day.” It’s kinda’ like going to the gym. Imagine my surprise - a very pleasant surprise, I might add - when my wife came to me and said, “I want to write every day. Peer pressure and accountability, however, add a whole different dimension to the mix. Just do it.” Still, even with the all the self motivation turned self loathing, I find excuses and reasons to not get it done. “I need to write every day,” I mutter out loud. I always complain, mostly to myself, that I do not write enough.
