Can the 14-Day Short Post Challenge Get Me Posting?
I am having a dreadful time trying to make myself sit down and write posts. Right now the way my life is going sitting down for an hour plus to write a post just ain’t happening. There are too many things that I want to do instead. So maybe I should quit blogging altogether. But blogging has helped create the life that I am leading now.
As a result of blogging, I read more now then I have ever read in my life. I also listen to more music at least different genres. Blogging has also kept me running, doing yoga and trying to get younger.
So with all those positives that have happened as a result of blogging, I don’t want to quit blogging. What I have decided to do instead is trying to write shorter posts.
Over the last several months I have realized that I get through books a lot quicker and get other things done when I set a fifteen minute timer and read. Then after the fifteen minutes is up I go and do other things for a while.
All this is leading up to my next challenge. It will be a 14-Day (because it is a test run) Short Post Writing Challenge. The main challenge is to write short 300-400 word posts in 15 minutes. Then come back and edit, spell check and add media and post it, also within a fifteen minute time period. If I am successful, maybe my posting can increase to two posts written and posted per day, ha!
Hmm, I’m close to wrapping up this post and I’m not at 300 words yet……
Recapping….
Rather than ending this blog I have decided to make my blog posts shorter. To aid in making this transition, I am going to try to limit the time I have to write a post to 15 minutes and then 15 minutes to edit and finalize the post. Finally, I am creating a 14-day Short Post Challenge. to try to make this happen! Wish me luck!
