Doing It

Today I’m starting a 21-day challenge to write and publish a blog every day, for 21 days. Today’s day one. I’m scared – scared it’ll suck, scared I’ll have nothing of value to say, scared no one will read it, scared I’ll embarrass myself, scared my mother’s words about how I lack discretion will finally prove true.

​But I’m also scared of what’ll happen if I don’t. Scared of how I’ll feel about myself if I don’t carry through with this. This website, this vision, this honest-to-goodness dream, only has me to bring it up. This child of mine has been gestating for years now and I can feel where the only way to see its sweet face, look into its eyes and hear its sweet voice, is to get ‘er on the page.
 
So that’s my commitment – one blog per day for 21 days. Today. Day 1. Holy shit.
 
I’m not the first person to do this. Blogging isn’t unique. Oh wait! Those are fears. Ha!
 
The commitment here isn’t that this will be great or unique or interesting. The commitment is to doing it. So here I am. Doing it.
