The Challenge

I have been challenged to write a blog post every day for a minimum of one month.  What have I gotten myself into!  If you look to see how active this blog has been, or hasn't been, you will understand how big of a challenge this is for me.  My name is Kali and I am a neglectful blogger.  This blog, despite my best intentions, petered out quickly when I couldn't come up with anything to say.  No, the sarcastic comments floating around in my head don't count.  As a writer how can I not have something to say?  No idea.  I just don't. My thoughts and opinions are a dime a dozen.  Perhaps it's lack of practice picking out topics from the world around me or walking around with blinders on.  Perhaps I'm scared to really say what I mean or what I feel.  Uh oh!  This isn't going to be me getting in touch with emotions is it?!  Writing fiction is different, trying to think up something to say about everyday life is a challenge.  Little snippets here and there on Facebook or Twitter are usually random thoughts, an entire post...not so much.  What if I take a bunch  of Twitter posts and smoosh them together and call it a blog post?  No?  Damn.

Let the challenge begin!  Creepy Jaws music is playing in my head...
