I've said it before and I'll say it again I love to write so you would think blogging would be a perfect fit for me right? Yes in the sense that blogging provides an outlet to share my writing, but no in that it requires me to be consistent; this is an issue I've struggled with for a while now.
You know how they say the best way to deal with a problem is to acknowledge it? Well I've done that and I'm dealing with it by joining the Ultimate Blog Challenge for October.
In the Ultimate Blog Challenge you have to write a blog post every day. At first the idea of coming up with a post every day intimidated me but then I realized this is the perfect exercise to build my writing muscle.
Writing every day will completely solve my consistency problem, will help me become a stronger writer by writing about different topics, and inspire me to start writing poetry again, which I did many years ago. Writing every day will also help to build my brand and raise my profile online which will be good for my business (virtual assistant) as well.
Now I'm not fooling myself here: I know there will be days that I will struggle and I'll want to drop out; the words won't come and I'll rack my brain trying to come up with something to write. But I intend to complete this challenge and I look forward to my progression as a writer over the next 31 days.
