A year ago, a few friends and I challenged ourselves to write and publish one blog a day for all thirty-one-freaking-days in November. With few exceptions, we made it through. Some of us love to write and some of us hate it, but all of us loved the experience.
There’s a certain introspection that (I believe) comes only from writing. So, writing with the intention of publishing something each day ushers in a wonderful dynamic. When you’re trying to create and post a coherent blog everyday, the world looks a little different. It sounds dramatic, but it’s true. Conversations become inspirations, the rough surface of the day is mined for its precious metals, thoughts become words, and sometimes, those words become actions.
It’s a good thing and you should join us.
Seriously.
We’re calling it “November Blogfest” and, though I hate the name, we’ll be tweeting and emailing with the hashtag #novemberblogfest – so, if you’re going to write, be sure to let us know. Also, prepare to be encouraged, challenged and inspired. There are some truly amazing people participating. If you’re local, (Southern California) there might even be a meetup at the end of November (if I can talk someone into setting it up.)
Like I said, you should join us.
I hate November.
