Six years ago (Spring 2009) was contemplating how to overcome three decades of excuses for not writing the book that was a solemn promise back in 1979.

And in this contemplative thought, a seriously absurd notion:

What if you challenged yourself to a 100-day, self-imposed writer’s bootcamp? All you have to do is write one blog a day for each of your five websites.

It was so utterly impossible that the challenge actually felt insanely compelling and motivating. Could the impossible actually be possible?

What would we like to do, but never begin because it’s too far out there?

How many of you know that in 25 days, the five-year anniversary of The Five-A-Day Blogger will arrive?

What do we think is impossible?

What would we like to do, but never begin because it’s too far out there?

How about this one…

Try to imagine writing two hours (minimum) everyday – producing five daily, differently-themed posts – for 1,825 days.

Remarkable, even for the person who did it.

And humbling.

And in the end, the book he promised to write way back in 1979 became a reality in 2013.
