a website & community for women who write & blog
At the risk of sounding old and out-of-touch, I must admit to you that I didn’t sign up for Snapchat until about a year ago because for the longest I thought it was just an app teenagers used for sexting. And even though I now have an account, I think I’ve used it twice.
Snapchat is not my jam.
It’s almost time to blog like crazy!
Every November I challenge the ladies of See Jane Write to publish a new blog post every day for 30 days. This may sound impossible, but I promise you it’s not. And you don’t have to lose your sanity to pull this off.
Here are things you need to do so that you can #bloglikecrazy without going crazy:
Reading: I’m always reading about five books at once. One I just recently started is I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual by Luvvie Ajayi . As you would expect from Awesomely Luvvie, the is laugh-out-loud funny and “a guide to getting some act-right online and in real life.” In the book introduction Luvvie writes, “This book is what Millennial Iyanla Vanzant would give you before you get to the point where you have to sit on her couch for fixing. Luvvie will be speaking at the Blogalicious conference next month in Atlanta which I’ll be attending, with a hard copy of her book and a fresh Sharpie in tow.
Could you publish a new blog post every day for 30 days?
That’s the question I pose to the women of See Jane Write every November for our annual #bloglikecrazy challenge.
You may be thinking that blogging every day for 30 days is, well, crazy. But I’m a believer in the saying “Crazy just might work.”
Here are three reasons why I think you should blog like crazy with me this year.
The women in my world are warrior women.
They are strong. They are brave. They are courageous.
They are not warrior women because they are flawless or because they live perfect lives or because they never fall apart.
They are warrior women because when they do fall apart they find the strength to write themselves back together again.
They are brave enough to share their stories. They are courageous enough to show their scars because they know their words can help heal other women’s wounds.
