For as long as I can remember, I've loved to write. I have poetry books I wrote in elementary school that my parents saved for me. I have a file in my desk drawer of devotionals and other writings, some that have been published on various websites. I've been paid to write on a few occasions. I even have a magazine and a book on my bookshelf, both containing published writing with my name on it. So it was only natural for me to begin to write a blog. My blog gives me a chance to share with others what God is doing in my life and gives a glimpse of our family's adventures in parenting, homeschooling and whatever else I've dreamed up for us to do. Writing is an outlet for me - a great stress reliever - but lately it has been something that is at the bottom of my priority list. When I do get a chance to write, I feel almost like I'm talking to myself on the blog. I don't have many followers and I don't get many comments. This discourages me from writing more often and so the cycle continues.
And so, I am presenting myself with a challenge - 30 posts in 30 days with 30 followers and 30 comments. Beginning today and running through May 5th, I am commiting to writing on my blog each day. I am also going to promote my blog to as many people as possible and make a goal of having 30 followers at the end of the 30 days. I currently have 4 - thank you to my followers!! AND, so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself, I am going to encourage more comments so that by the end of the 30 days, I have at least 30 new comments on my blog. My hope is that by the end of the 30 days, I will feel energized to continue writing more often. The big dream is that I will once again be able to write for a paycheck and contribute to our family budget.
So whether you've enjoyed my blog in the past, or you've just found my blog, and you like what you see, please become a follower! This will alert you to new blog posts automatically. Tell your friends to check it out too! Follow along and see how I do in the next 30 days. And as always, comments are welcome!
