Twelve days ago, I decided I should try blogging every day and see what happened. And so, for the past twelve days, that is what I have done. I have written a few posts here, and a few more posts on my PPD blog. (Methinks two websites if enough for this brain of my mine!)

Twelve days ago, I did not know why I had this sudden urge to try blogging every day. I just knew, in my gut, it was something I had to try.

Today I finally realized: daily blogging is helping me sort through my priorities. More: it is helping me develop a stronger sense of self.

I have a running list of Blog Ideas in the Notes app on my iPhone. When it comes time to write, I check the list and pick the idea that jumps out at me. This process helps me see what is on my mind.

The first few days of blogging felt unnatural and awkward, but now, it feels very right to blog every day. The daily practice energizes me.

I’m curious to see how many more days I blog in a row before I want or need a break. I’m curious to see where this leads. It seems that the writing life will always have new surprises for me to discover.
