Welcome! I am so thrilled and honored that you are here. If I’m being completely honest and transparent, I worried that no one would come.
I bookmarked the Write 31 Days website 2 or 3 years ago. Too scared to participate then, I quickly forgot about it. But last month, I was cleaning out all the bookmarks on my internet browser and heard the siren’s call. I couldn’t sleep that night until I had committed to rising to this challenge. So here we are.
What’s my hope for this challenge? I hope…
- To stretch myself as a writer. It’s not so much the writing for 31 days that is causing me anxiety; it’s putting my writing out there for 31 days that is my challenge.
- To inspire intentional living (and reading). We could all use a bit more intentionality in our lives.
- To crystalize my reflections about my (reading) life. Taking the time and putting the words on the page often lets me know what I really think and what I really feel.
This month, I plan to delve into the “secrets” of intention including tips/strategies to enhance our (reading) lives; locate and share great quotes, inspirational pics, and links that I find interesting and think that you might too; share reviews of some of the books that have had rocked my world; and recall the experiences of my reading life, discovering more about myself through it all.
I will be indexing each post of this series here so go ahead and bookmark this page for easy retrieval. You can always delete it later.
Of course, I am not the only participant in this challenge to #write31days. Hop on over to the link-up to see what else may pique your interest.
Even if you’re not a bookman, we are all readers. You’re reading this blog, after all. And I hope that you will find this journey as poignant and entertaining as I hope it will be for me. Please leave comments (sharing your own thoughts about books and reading) and questions (about anything posted) and I will make every effort to address each and every one of them.
Thank you, so much for being here. Let’s do this thing!
til tomorrow, enjoy life
