January 1, 2019- What a delightfully cliched day to start a new challenge. But, here we are. Yay cliches!
So it’s been a while…
I haven’t written on here in a bajillion years. Really, I haven’t done much writing at all since we returned from Nigeria. I ran into an issue where I just didn’t have a path of what I wanted to write about. There were a variety of things that I didn’t feel expert enough to write a blog about and since our exotic location was no longer a thing- I ended up pretty lost in the world of blog writing.
Such as:
Parenting- I have no earthly idea how to raise these heathens. I mean, they’re cute and sorta smell like hamsters. They seem like good humans so far, so I’m digging that. My only claim of parenting prowess is that they eat vegetables.
Cooking- :Insert hysterical laughter: Anyone want hundreds of recipes on how to throw random items together to keep your family alive? Cheese chunks and raw baby carrots for everyone!
Finances- There are far smarter folks who spend their time working on inner workings of finances. They even get to use fancy words and neat numbers. However, there’s always “Deal or No Deal” as a financial option. :shrugs:
Weight Loss/ Fitness- Maybe if readers really enjoy reading about someone’s start of a journey with weight loss or finding joy in fitness…and then never seeing any results because 1. I’m always going to be fluffy 2. I really hate exercise (Like hate-hate) then this may be a theme I can roll with. And yet… I’m thinking this is better left to the motivated folks.
So, what does that leave me with? This will just be random ramblings that will strengthen my writing. I dream of writing a book. And I also know that without practice, I will never have the skills to get there.
On my Bucket List, I have a goal of doing a 365 Day Challenge though I hadn’t decided what type of challenge I wanted to try. Since I managed to cross off “Learn How to Do the Thriller Dance” at Halloween with my group of galfriends, I’ve started to focus on crossing off more from my Bucket List.
365 Day Challenge
- It’s does not have to be done on the actual day, so long as I have 365 posts at the end of the year. (Such as, I will be busy for a few days in April giving birth to a new kid, so… I might have to do some pre-writing or post-writing to get my goal done.)
- Writing is writing, so the posts don’t have to a certain length or style. No poems though. The world doesn’t deserve that.
- Um, that’s it, I think.
(On a side note, I just did a Google search of 365 Day Writing Challenge. I see that there’s a whole bunch of them on Tumblr, but uh, I don’t know what Tumblr is, so maybe I need to try and get a little more hip in 2019 too.)
