So I decided to do The Ultimate Blog Challenge this month. It's been amazing meeting other bloggers and finding new blogs. I've loved seeing the variety of creative and diverse ideas out there..
The challenge? Write a blog post every day for the month of July. I thought, no problem, I can do this. A post a day, visit some other blogs, tweet, interact...oh, and you know, all the other things one does in a day :)
What I've realized? I can, but I don't want to! This is quite the realization for me. I love my blog, but an average of about 4 posts a weeks seems to be the sweet spot for me. I love that I figured this out. I always felt like I wasn't doing my best by not getting something posted every day, but really, my creativity seems to not stretch to seven days a week!
So I will continue to write a lot of posts this month ~ just not everyday! But I promise to support all the other great bloggers that are doing the Ultimate Blog Challenge too. And I'm going to consider it a success even though I don't write every day, cause that's my sweet spot :)
Seriously! I'm telling you, more than twice a week and I'm suffering! I've realize that I like for people to read my blog, but I'm not a machine and if I want to create meaningful content that I'm happy with, I gotta slow down! Because I teach school and because it's summer I think I will be able to complete the challenge, but as I'm hoping to have some posts in reserve for the school year, I've gotta get creative! Yikes! Thanks for your honesty!
ReplyDeleteHi! Stopping by from the UBC and Facebook! Yes, I struggle with posting consistently, too. I've tried completing the UBC and other blog challenges before, and always miss so many days of posting, that I give up.
ReplyDeleteTHIS time, though, I think I'll make it, because I've done 14 so far (15 in you count the day I posted twice). :)
