I keep saying “I want to write more” so I decided to do something about it.
I signed up for #reverb10 which their website describes as
“an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next. The end of the year is an opportunity to reflect on what’s happened, and to send out reverberations for the year ahead. With Reverb 10, we’ll do both.”
I’ve never done this sort of thing before. No NaNoWriMo. No NaBloPoMo. No 30 Days of Truth (I considered that one but didn’t like all the questions at first glance.) My posting frequency is spotty at best, so I don’t know how successful this will be. Especially in December which is a very busy month.
But small steps first.
First I signed up.
Then I put up this nifty graphic in my sidebar:
Then I got a really nice reply from the organizers:
Then I wrote this post.
I’ve said it out loud in several places. I really have to go for it now.
I’m still not sure if I can write one self-reflective post a day for a whole month, but like the mysterious “they” say, you’ll never know if you don’t try.
Wish me luck and let me know if you are participating as well. I’m enjoying the community-feel of this project and want to be sure I take part in that aspect of it as much as I do the writing aspect.
That’s brave of you to commit to writing every day. And something self-reflective. Maybe I should do that. But what if I don’t like what I see? Oh yeah, that’s the growth!
It certainly feels brave, especially in December, which is such a busy month. Giving it a go is a bit of growth for me. I’m more of a lurker than a joiner. So I’ve been trying to speak up and join in on more things. It really is more fun that way, at least some of the time! 🙂
