Day 8- A Writers Confession- This Challenge is Kicking my Butt

Hello Everyone, Happy Easter!!! Today's post is going to be short because I didn't have much time to prepare. So let me just tell you a few thoughts about how I think this 30Day Blog Challenge is going. Someone told me that making a post every day for 30 days was insane, especially for a first time blogger like me. I completely agree, I clearly didn't know what I was getting into. I thought that as long as I took a day or two and only focused on writing posts to have some in the queue and then just continue to write posts at my leisure for the remaining days of the month. Well, those days never came, every day for the past week, I've been struggling and racking my brains to come out with a good and interesting post. I was told to just change the challenge to a week-long challenge instead of a month-long one, and I've honestly considered it. I've considered quitting the challenge since day 5, but here I am.

Writing is hard. I love it yes, I love imagining characters and giving them a life and a purpose. I love being the first to witness their wonderful journies and keeping records. And most importantly I love sharing their adventures, struggles, and passions with others. That is what writing means to me, but it's not easy.

In fact, I've never been good at English, it was always my worst grade in school. I've never been good at spelling, I'm a very slow reader, and my grammar is not the best. So, writing is a real challenge for me. A lot of people have asked me why I insist on being a writer, why didn't I stick with something I was already good at.

Here's my answer to that, writing is hard.

I chose to write precisely because it was hard and there were many things going against me. I chose to challenge myself to get better at something that I loved to do but struggled to do.

That is why I can't stop this 30Day Blog Challenge. Challenges aren't meant to be easy, they're supposed to be hard but once completed you feel so accomplished and it's so rewarding. So, I will continue to struggle writing and posting posts until the end of these 30 days. I mean the first week is already behind me, so there are only 22 days left, right?

Thanks for reading and I to those struggling to chase their dreams and goals like me, you're not alone, just believe in yourself and your abilities and keep pushing on.

See you next time!
