This marks post 31 during January 2012 here on my blog. It’s Ultimate Blog Challenge month so I had a goal to hit. 4 of my posts were today. But I completed the challenge! Here’s my question for you: Are you challenging yourself? Some food for thought: “Accept the challenges so that you may feel [...]
Does figuring out what to write about hold you back from writing? Given a topic to start with, it’s much easier! Most of us were trained to write about what we were told to write about. Think back to your school years. Did your teachers often free you to write about anything you chose? Or [...]
