Blog-a-thon

“The more frequently you write, the faster you’ll improve, and the stronger you’ll get.” (from Copyblogger)

  • I need to get better at writing
  • I need to be a better blogger
  • I am so not inspired to write
  • I don’t have enough ideas
  • I don’t have enough time

 If you want to be a blogger, but hid behind the excuse cloud, you can come out now. It’s ok. I will be right here with you.

That quote from Copyblogger is from a post in which he compares it to going to the gym.

I am going to get more specific and say aerobics class. We have all been there. Decided to go to aerobics and there is this cute little instructor that seriously worries you that her legs are going to snap if she starts jumping around. But then she does and so does everyone else. And you feel like a fish trying to dace at a performance of the NYC Ballet. Everyone else knows the moves and you… you’re just a cod standing there with your sweats on.

Ok. So the good news is that I am the one with the sweats on. I might be here all by myself. But you are welcome to jump on in here with me. And if you do, you won’t be alone. We will all be looking at that skinny instructor together and wondering if her legs are going to snap.

So take the 30 day blog a day blog-a-thon challenge with me. It is about building a habit, being creative and having people here to encourage and support you while you do it.  Are you with me?

  1. I saw Dave Woodson doing the same thing. I have started trying to get something written every day. I will join you on your quest. I am looking forward to reading to stuff.

  2. I’m on the once-a-week habit but want to improve in all the areas you mentioned. I need to “work out” in my writing just like a gym membership and get to the point of those inspirational bloggers that post every day.

  3. I’m in. If I want to be a better writer instead of a “wannabe”, I need to do this so that I am. 🙂 Arrived from FB BTW. ~Shanna

  4. I’m in. I sometimes blog run or biking workouts. Sometimes work stuff, but not ever enough…

    I’ll do it and visit you here, too!

  5. I am so excited that you all will be doing this with me, and I look forward to reading your posts. If you need help or a kick in the butt, let me know. We are here to do this together! If you have not done so, please leave a link to your blog so we can all follow you on your journey. I will also keep an updated list of the people participating. (In tomorrow’s blog)

  6. Thank you Dana this is just the motivation I need to do this. Now I just need to understand how to get started:) Trying to tie my word press blog into my word press website….
