A Writing Goal

by Nicholas Barnard on May 2nd, 2012

So, over the past several weeks, I’ve had the thought “Hey, I should write a blog entry about ______.” pop up in my head quite frequently. Also, I watched Hank Green talking to Charlie McDonnell, where he alludes to a week where he made a video a day for YouTube.

I contrast this with yesterday, where I needed to do some resume rewriting and well, it was like pulling teeth to write anything. I only got that done by threatening to myself and a friend to buy that friend dinner unless I had a copy of my resume in her email box before she woke up. (I understand that resume writing is less attractive and more difficult than most other types of writing, but still its writing.)

So I need to stretch myself to put that writing muscle back into order.. So some rules for this writing goal:

  1. A blog entry must be at least four paragraphs long, and a paragraph must be at least three sentences.
  2. Blog entries must be at least daily, for May 1 through May 7.
  3. A day will be determined by Nick’s logical day naming system.
  4. This blog entry doesn’t count as a blog entry on May 1st.
  5. Blog entries for this challenge must be tagged with “One Entry a Day for a Week”.
  6. May 2 Addendum: If more than one blog entry is written on a day, it cannot be credited toward a future blog entry.
  7. Rules are intended to be broken, but not this rule.

Okay, lets get this challenge started.
