challenge complete: blog

Challenge: Update this blog every day for 30 days.
Status: Completed!

Challenge Review
This was a pretty easy challenge to complete. On several days it would literally take less than a minute to upload a picture, or to write a few simple sentences about something.

On days where I attempted to be funny or insightful it took longer. No surprises there.

Now let's get a little deep here. Did I learn anything valuable? Did it change my life?

Not really, and maybe a little, respectively.

I started this challenge because keeping a blog, and keeping up with my writing has always been difficult for me to do consistently. On most days, I lack the motivation or the discipline to write.

I don't know why, and it's probably because I'm unsure of my own motivations for doing it. Do I crave attention? Is it because I enjoy the process? Do I want to share things with other people? Is it an outlet for creativity or stress?

Probably a mix of a lot of those things, with certain ones flaring up more than others on any given day.

But inside of these 30 days, knowing that I have to post something, it was easy. I would just sit down and do it, without considering my feelings about it first.

I plan on continuing to post, but not every day. There's no one who has something they need to share every day.

Short version:
blogging easy! Good blogging hard. blog generally doesn;t improve my life.
