Blog Every Weekday for the Rest of July
The other day I was talking to a good friend and mentor of mine, and she got to talking about how sometimes if you just say things out loud— you can make them happen.
Well, I am not trying to dream big here or anything, I just miss my blog. I miss showing up here and letting it all hang out.*
So, here is me typing that I will blog every weekday for the rest of July. I know that’s not much, but it is enough to get me back into the awesome that is writing every day. A blog is such a good thing for a writer, because it’s so stream of consciousness. It’s quick, it’s painless, and it’s not meant to be perfect. In so many ways, blogging is the anti-book, and it’s a great way to get those creative juices flowing.**
I even have a catchy graphic… want to see?
Because if I make a graphic for it, then I definitely have to do it, right?
So.. anyone want to give their blog a little summer kick start with me? Who’s in?
*Okay, that’s not true… I never do that– I am such an internet wimp!
**I don’t know why I said that. I hate when people refer to their creativity as a juice.
The best thing about blogging and writing is that it’s done indoors in air-conditioning! Well I do try to write outside sometimes, but have yet to solve the glare/screen battle. Look forward to your July posts.
Have you tried goggling blog post ideas, writing topic ideas, etc? There are lots of lists, it helps 🙂
YOU. CAN. DO. IT. Love the graphic you made and yeah, it’s now official. 😉
I agree, juice should only be mentioned when referring to a beverage or power source, not something that comes FROM you. Just sayin’.
hehe good luck! sticking to a schedule can be hard. You might want to write some ahead of time, in case you get busy! There’s not too many days left in July, though.
@Faith, Yeah, that’s the plan… for me I love the writing part, it’s just the coming up with topics that stresses me out!
I’ve been thinking about Soap Boxing every day for the rest of July. It’s too hot where I’m at to say nice things. Can I be snarking every day for the rest of July? If so, I’m totes down for this!
@Dust, You are NOT telling me the weather isn’t fantastic and beautiful where you are.
Tradesies?
Love this post. I’m a young adult writer as well. I will be visiting again. Great blog, awesome creative person! You go girl 😉
Yay! I am excited you are doing this. I love reading your blog and I miss seeing it pop up in my reader all the time.
But I won’t be joining along, because I’ll be on vacation all next week and I have a rule against using the computer at the lake! (Writing on my AlphaSmart is totally different – I can’t get sucked into the internet on it.)
@Rachel Bateman, Haha! Yaay for Vacation! I think vacay is the REASON
I am so off my regular blogging schedule. 🙂
I am in! (and thank you for the “every WEEK day” part — having a break on weekends really is great!)
@Jen Klein, Woohoo! And yes, why blog on the weekends? That’s NO fun!
