I am so gald I finally found you! I have found this thread throughout the blogosphere lately, writing daily from Unhinged to Kat and a host of others ioncluding me and now I find you are doing the same! It’s almost ironic. All of us disconnected and yet…connected! Ebb and flow I suppose…

[...] I found a great new photographer/designer that I must share. In Rebecca’s post about self discipline in writing she commented back to one of her readers (Jana Souza) and included a link to her site. Rebecca also [...]

Thanks for commenting on my blog and leadnig me to yours! If you are doing the daily writing commitment, you should join NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). I struggled at first, but now seem to be able to post pretty much everyday (ok, I wouldn’t always say it is top quality, but I don’t get too many complaints!): http://www.nablopomo.com/ . Good luck!

This will be a cakewalk. It just takes a shift in perspective, a letting go of "you're-not-the-boss-of-me" ism that (I think) afflicts you when you perceive the writing as a result of someone else's demands. The truth is, you love to write, you can't not write, so why not commit to consistency? I would lay a big bet that you won't take Day 31 off, you will have become officially addicted.

I just recently met Jana and LOVE what she has to say (to her readers AND to me personally in our own conversations) and so I could see how you’d want to make her proud!

Looking forward to seeing what 30 days will do for you! Maybe I’ll do it in June.

Better you than me! But, I greatly admire the effort. I'm trying to keep true to my commitment to finish my current WIP as soon as is feasibly possible. Plus, I'm the type that takes a lot of time writing a blog entry, so I find every two-three days or so works best for me. Good luck - I'll be rooting for you and reading you daily!

By the way, one of the hardest things can be to come up with a catchy title for each entry. LOL Beth’s last blog post..Not exactly a ringing endorsement…and next, a song!

I write daily, but don’t keep a lengthy list of things to write about. At the very most, maybe a half a dozen. I find that I can write more topically (and sometimes with more passion) if I keep it current. But then I write quite a bit about politics, and I know you don’t like to go there.

When I first started blogging, I would write without regularity, just when the mood struck me (plus I was working then). One month, I read about people doing some kind of national challenge in which you wrote an entry every day for a month. I did it! That kind of got me hooked on writing every day, even if it’s not a long one. And they really DON’T have to be long ones every day!

I also found several sites with blog prompts, and those were kind of fun and resulted in some thoughtful entries. (Just Google “blog prompts” and you’ll find a bunch.) I haven’t used one of those for some time, so I guess blogging kind of takes on a life of its own!

Whoops, didn’t mean to write a book! Good luck–I think you’ll enjoy the challenge. And I suspect that you’ll find all kind of interesting things to write about, ones that hadn’t occurred to you before.
