365 days of me

[Teg]

The other night, My friend April and I were discussing blogs. I had this idea that it would be cool to start a personal blog and post on it every single day for the entire year. At first, she thought I was crazy, then she joined me! So, now we are both blogging every day and are going to try to do so until 11:59 PM on December 31st, 2018. 

Have any of you tried something like this before? It is definitely going to be a challenge and a lot of fun.

I have never tried daily, but I have tried weekly, especially in different jobs.

I can usually manage that, but sometimes, you literally have nothing to say.

I think a year would be hard.  I would work up to it.

I've never written a daily blog but did try to do a photo a day one.

That didn't last long.

Never tried it, thought about it after seeing a few others do it but then thought I am not near interesting enough or like how I look enough to want that attention lol

Odd, isn't it, wildmaven ?

We enjoy photography, but putting that demand and restraint on us, took away a lot of the fun and made it more of a chore than a joy.

Yup. One of my favorite quotes is from Hope Floats: "You find something that you love, and then you twist it, and you torture it, try and find a way to make money at it. You spend a lifetime doing that. At the end, you can't find a trace of what you started out lovin'."  Same kind of idea.

Perfect appropriate quote! 

I love both it and the movie.

I'm not very interesting either, but so far it's been a good week. I managed to post from January 1st to January 7th. Now, I just need to make sure next week I can keep up with it. I suppose I'll just take it one day at a time! lol

Mine would just be 365 consecutive posts saying, "Today I did very little."

OMG! I could totally picture that. Could you imagine the comments you'd receive?

Back in the 90's, I ran a website called The Nova Watch, which was a weekly account of my then-husband's lack of progress on rebuilding his Chevy Nova. Entries included noting the line of ants that were walking across the bumper and the small tree that was sprouting from one of the tires. Needless to say, he was less than thrilled, but it had a large online following. When we divorced and I shut down the website, I got "we're so sad to see it go" fan mail, haha.

wildmaven, that is freaking awesome! I would have read something like that LOL

My husband starts all kinds of restoration projects and doesn't finish them. Maybe I'll blog about some of those.

That's the secret, wildmaven .

It doesn't have to be about the big stuff, it just needs to be interesting (and creative) to capture attention.

It has actually hasn't been as difficult as I thought, so far.  (keyword: so far.)   I'm sure I'll have those days where I feel like I have nothing to say, but when that happens, it just may be a short post.   We never set a limit on how long the entries had to be!

But yeah, it's been pretty fun.
