My 30-day Blogging Challenge

Posted on 23. Sep, 2008 by Kyle in Miscellaneous

In 9th grade, my creative writing teacher engrained in me that I should write every day because it would make me a better writer and also serve as a journal throughout my life. So, I did. Everyday, we were forced to write for seven minutes.

Fast foward X years (who really cares how many that was now), and it’s like I’m back in the 9th grade again. At a time in my life where milestones and memories are happening literally every day, the voice of my teacher is back in my head, but turned up a few notches.

Tonight, I challenged my wife to a 30-day blogging challenge. Being that I’ve talked of this being a blog of good intentions in the past, perhaps the challenge competition with my wife will spur on new creativity and new discipline to do something that I’d really like to have in twenty years; a journal.

Don’t expect the creativity of Seth Godin, the leadership astuteness of Michael Hyatt, the frequency of Cara Davis or the spiritual depth and understanding of Boothe Farley. While I admire them all as bloggers, what you get here is likely a mix of entrepreneurism, fatherhood, husbandry, spirituality and some random adventures. If you like what you read, I welcome your comments, subscription to my RSS feed or you can follow me on Twitter. If you don’t, check out my wife’s blog. She’s much more intelligent, funny and insightful. Plus, she’s way better looking than I am.

    @kristy – you are freakin amazing. Don’t try to argue that…ever!

    @michael – you have no idea what you’ve done for me; without even knowing what my face looks like. I’m about to write about this.

    @stephanie – I’m lookin’ forward to yours too!

    Oh writing every day is a great goal! I used to do it (even without teachers prompting) for years… Since I was 16 ’till I was in my 20’s… Ironically, that was when my life actually became somewhat interesting. :D It is a lot of fun going back now and check what I did this day in 1995, and go: “Glad I’m not 18 anymore.” :D
