Three-week countdown, home…
At home, it’s literally impossible to comprehend the daily blogging effort.
Daily blogging began as a 100-day, self-imposed writer’s bootcamp.
Challenged myself to write five daily, differently-themed blogs on five different websites.
The goal was simply to gain writing practice before attempting to write my first book.
You wouldn’t commit to running a half marathon and just showing up on race day. No, you would run many miles, for many days and months before race day.
Same concept for the 100-day blogging challenge. Critical to know that prior to April Fools’ Day 2009, my consecutive-day total for publishing five daily blogs was two.
Two consecutive days. Not four. Not even three. Two.
Definitely impossible.
That’s why i intentionally chose April Fools’ Day.
i’d have to be a fool to think i could write 500 blog posts in 100 days.
To say our home life was ‘busy’ is freakishly understated.
Like many of our Disney colleagues, we all were simply trying to live the American dream.
Also like many of our Disney colleagues, we were insanely ambitious and ‘wanted it all’.
So i asked myself, “Why not pile on top of every ‘busy thing’ in your life a 100-day, write-and-publish five daily, differently-themed blog posts?”
