Happy New Year! Are folks still saying Happy New Year to people? Either way the spirit and ambitions of the New Year are hopefully still immersed in you. Today I was thinking: should I do that writing challenge again? And truthfully, I was embarrassed this was something I was even contemplating. Of course I should! Right? I mean of course I wrote way more content due to this challenge, but has it really benefited me in terms of my wants and desires as a writer? Did I become anymore confident in my writing style, let alone writing voice, due to said challenge? What was the end result from all this?
With all the missed weeks, convoluted essays that were haphazardly assembled, thesaurus.com searches, absent staring into the screen and just overall lack of confidence, somehow I do feel this challenge was a gain for me. I gained a sense of where I'm at as a writer. I do not have confidence in my writing; and my goal this essay journey is to change that. My vernacular isn't as bad as I thought it was. During so many instances where I found myself tripping over the definition of a word, once I looked it up and found it meant what I thought it did, I began to realize I trip myself out way too often. It is time to walk in the peak of my skill and develop great content, not only for these challenges, but this blog I will finally launch, the articles I will feature for countless companies and for my copywriter position. Has any of this come into fruition yet? No. But let's speak it into existence! Affirmations are everything!
Thanks for sticking alongside me during my first essay journey. It was a doozy. I can't wait to see how this next one unfolds, and heightens my writing journey.
