I used to post daily on this blog until my writing challenge ended on 30 April this year. I then promised to post regularly but have only managed four posts since then, with the last one being almost two months ago (and have only managed a couple of posts on some of my other blogs). I could list a dozen … Continue reading
I’ve made it to 366 days! Today is the final day of my Writing challenge and thanks to the leap year, I have an extra day to fill! I’ve been planning my final few posts for a week or so now and whilst preparing Note 357 – The approach to taking time off from your daily blog, … Continue reading
Writing was something that I used to keep to myself in the form of journals and I have many going back as far as age four. It’s only in the last three years that I have started sharing what I write with others, and how wonderful it is to receive comments on topics that I thought wouldn’t have been of … Continue reading
I would be lying if I said that this writing challenge has been easy; in fact it’s been harder these last few weeks than it has been all year. With 5 days to go, I feel like I’ve been on a very long flight and now I’m starting my descent into a new and exciting … Continue reading
The 10 day countdown will begin at midnight tonight (UK time). Today felt like a good day to look back at the very first post on 30 April 2011 (the day before the challenge began) and record my thoughts against what I set out to achieve. I’ve taken a few quotes from the original post: … Continue reading

It feels good to commit yourself to something you love doing and then pour all your time and effort into it, but not so good when … Continue reading

If you set the goal, you can change the following things about it: Where the new goal post is e.g. change it … Continue reading
11 months down, 1 to go! With just 30 days to go on my 366 day Writing Challenge, I am pleased to say that it’s been an enjoyable experience, but also very time-consuming. Blogging every day (in addition to a day job) without a break can be exhausting some days and it’s not something I’m … Continue reading
I just made myself smile when I read the following post from five months ago: Note 169 – When are you qualified to say ‘I am a writer’? as I feel so different now. It was difficult back then to say ‘I am a project manager, and also a writer‘ whenever anyone asked what I do. I used … Continue reading
It only seemed like the other day when I mentioned that I had 100 days to go until my writing challenge ends. Now I’m starting the 50 day countdown; after today there will be 50 more posts and then who knows! eBooks, more posts, new challenge – the world is my oyster (wonder where that … Continue reading
