On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Writing a minimum of two hours a day, everyday, is no big deal.
Seems impossible.
And it was, until i discovered it isn’t.
So now, less than 24 hours from tomorrow morning (April Fools Day 2016), i begin writing one book a month for seven consecutive months.
Impossible?
Yep.
Just like all the other bull crap lines i fed myself in the past.

Editor’s comment: this is written for an audience of one, me. If it resonates (or makes you feel uncomfortable), perfect. That’s exactly why i write these blogs to myself (and our Son, for future use)…
Where is our field of dreams?
Since 2000, i’ve become clear about the habitual pattern for using distractions, medications, and entertainment to manage the pain we experience from our unfulfilled promises to ourselves.
Yes, i think we all do it…
Medicate, distract, and entertain ourselves into a pleasurable state to avoid the pain from still secretly holding onto big dreams we have no intentions of fulfilling.
Yeah, it’s tough being an adult.
Giving up alcohol 15 years ago and caffeine one year ago have facilitated incredible focus on the obvious.
Achieving our crazy dreams require us to rethink, reprioritize, and recommit.
The long way is the short cut.

Leftover marshmallows from the night before’s campfire, a tub of peanut butter, and a loaf of bread.
Humble beginnings came with stunning views and loads of discretionary time together.
What a chore it was yesterday to do email deep cleaning.
But the “carpets” look and smell fantastic.
Had a great client call in the middle of it all. Looks like the next paid engagement is on the horizon. A day or two ago, there was none, and it’s only March 2.

The phone rang as i was cycling to the gym yesterday. A college buddy works for the nation’s largest financial planning firm.
They’re having their annual leadership conference in Orlando next January.
While he’s not the final decision maker, his recent promotion has elevated him to a position of greater responsibility and influence.
Out of nowhere, he’s recommending me to be their Leadership Keynote Speaker.
Plus, in three hours, a conference call with a different client to discuss May’s Leadership retreat with a client i’ve been talking to for nearly a year and a half.
Reality is this: i’m currently without a signed contract for my next paid engagement. Nothing for the remainder of 2016 and it’s only March 1.
The Oscars, a few days ago, highlighted the best of the best.
The best of the best here at home?
Patience and faith are the frontrunners in my life.
Note: Real time update today, June 9, 2016 – things have fallen into place. This year will be better than last year.
