Blogtoberfest ~ Day Fourteen ~ Did I Really Sign Up For This?

Did I really sign up to blog everyday?  Yes.  Yes, I did.  Well, I missed yesterday because I was just so busy the night before I forgot.   Every time I sat down at the computer yesterday,  my mind couldn't focus on much of anything.  In fact, I've been staring at the keyboard for the last two hours and my mind is a blank.

 

I have an index card I keep next to the computer so I can jot down ideas for blog posts as I have them.  The reason for doing this was so I would have something to write about on days like today.  There are 23 ideas on that list and I still can't think of anything to write about! 

Sometimes, we just have to give ourselves permission to take the pressure off and relax. 

I hope you have a relaxed Thursday!!!



Blogtoberfest Day Thirty One:...And So It Ends

It's the last day of Blogtoberfest and I end it with mixed feelings!  Blogtoberfest, among other things, was a commitment to blog everyday during the month of October.  I thought I was crazy for signing up for such a task.  At the time, my blogging was sporadic at best, and for that very reason I signed up.  I wanted to become more disciplined and serious about this blog.

The pressure is off to write everyday and I'm thankful for that.  On the other hand, I honestly enjoyed finding things to write about.  Some days were harder than others.  I think I understand what writer's block means!  I really struggled with keeping this up while my mom and sister were visiting.  I didn't do any writing the last week they were here, but we went out of town for a few days, so I gave myself permission to to put blogging aside til they left!

All in all it has been a positive experience.  The dicipline was good for me and I plan to continue to blog everyday but I won't stress about it if I'm not able.  Thanks for hanging in there with me!
