In my next post I’ll be discussing a 10K challenge which is going on today. Now, I happen to know that I could – and often have – achieve that challenge, if I were in the right writing project. I’ve previously achieved 10,000 words a day on several occasions, and sometimes more than that. But I’m not in that kind of writing project right now.
Instead, I thought I’d set myself a different challenge for today only – to write 10 Blog posts today. I initially thought these might be for 1000 words each, and therefore I would be able to say I’d achieved the 10,000, however putting word counts onto blog posts isn’t a great approach. Instead, I will just try to write accurately, and around a busy schedule of school duties today.
This, therefore is Blog Post # 1. You may witness my posts spread across two blogs perhaps, or perhaps I will concentrate my day on catching up with my latest writing thoughts on this blog. I will update below with the results.
The challenge isn’t as easy as simply writing about a new discovery or link, either. Each of my posts requires at least one, often more, images, and some research. Images I have to source and sometimes create (such as the one accompanying this first post). All of this takes time, so it will be an interesting exercise to simply time myself and average out what my normal time expenditure on a blog post maybe.
