Throwing Down the Gauntlet … to Myself
I’m challenging myself to write every day on Medium for the month of October
This might not seem like a lot to many writers on Medium, but it’s a lot for me.
You see, I’m a single mum to two teenagers (my husband died seven years ago, so I’m the only breadwinner), two small dogs and a chicken.
I’m also in the last year of a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing.
And I run a small social media management business where I create and post social media posts for a handful of clients.
On top of that, I also freelance for a local community magazine.
I’m pretty busy … cos I also have the house and garden to do as well!
Jeezo, am now wondering if I really want to land myself with this Medium challenge as well? Aw, it’ll be fine. If nothing else, it’ll be interesting to see if I can do it.
My plan is to plan. Over the next few days, I’m going to write up a list of potential articles and then I’m going to set aside some time to batch write them. Then I’ll schedule them.
Having read many posts by other writers on Medium, I think this is probably the best way to go about it. However, if you have any other suggestions, I’d be interested to hear them.
My subject is writing about writing. I’ve got a fair bit of experience in writing, so I’m hoping any wisdom I share is useful.
Anyway, I’m putting this out there. I am going to write an article a day on Medium.
Wish me luck! :-)
