The challenge starts Sept 6th, 2011
Since I was a little girl I remember getting excited about the beginning of September and a new school year. I'm not quite sure if it was seeing friends again, getting new school supplies or just having a new routine, but each September seemed packed with possibility and excitement!
Into adulthood I realize that I am the type of person who thrives on routine. When I set a goal I almost always complete it...and in a timely fashion. But if there is no goal...I tend to find myself procrastinating.
For a long time now I have had a desire to be a children's author and have dabbled on a few picture book manuscripts, however without a precise step-by-step daily routine, I find it difficult to make progress. Every writer knows that one of the most commonly given pieces of adivice is "write daily". Easier said than done. However, today I challenge myself to do just that!
I entered Kindergarten not knowing how to read, 12th Grade not knowing Pre-Calculus and college not knowing how to do my own laundry! :) Its amazing what can be accomplished in 10 months if we set our mind to it.
Through this blog I hope to share my journey with you. My ups and downs. I am not sure what the outcome will be, but that is part of the excitement. Step one: Attempt to "Write Daily".
I invite other writers to take this challenge with me. If you want to take this challenge, comment below. Let's make this school year our best!
