The 2011 S.H.I.N.E. Online Blogging Challenge Starts on 1-11-11! Come Join Us and Make Your Blog SHINE! - WritingSpirit Blog
Inspired by my friend Calli who blogs over at Saucy Sisters, Tsunami Sarah's Wild Ride and Egoboo WA. I've decided to take this on, since I have a list of things to blog that is always getting longer. Also, there's a mind map on my study wall that says "Just DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!", so here I am.
1. Decide how many times per week you want to blog--preferably twice a week or more.
My plan is to blog twice a week.
2. Add a comment on this post with your blog address, and how many posts per week you're committing to...
Done!
3. Use the hashtag #SHINEonline to communicate with other bloggers who are participating in this challenge...
Done!
4. Sign-up below if you would like to get blog tips and articles sent to you, along with blog challenge updates, and information on free teleconferences.
Done!
5. Start blogging!
Also done!! YAY!
What would I like to get out of this exercise?
The challenge of sticking to something like this that involves sharing and publishing and writing and thinking for a fairly long scheduled time.
Improve on my blogging and say some of the stuff that I keep wanting to say and keep struggling to find the time and the words to say.
To keep my thoughts turning over and refining, growing and changing as I learn more things, have more conversations, read more stuff and meet interesting people.
Contribute to the online world in a way that is about me contributing to making a difference, to not being silent, to not being a passive consumer of the world and the way in which things happen, pushing back and engaging in some cultural shift.
Having fun and finding a whole bunch of other interesting blogs!
