The Post-A-Week Challenge

I just noticed the announcement for the Post-A-Day or Post-A-Week WordPress challenge.  As a recent graduate who is also about 35 weeks pregnant, I am a big fan of baby steps.  So weekly it is!

I could not ignore this opportunity.  In late December, I graduated with a BA in English through a Professional Writing program.  Around the same time, I also left my job and started to get ready for baby’s arrival.  Understanding that I will need to find work to do from home, I asked my professors for advice.  “Write often,” they all said.  “Get in the habit of writing, even when you have nothing to say.”  Whether I pursue freelance work or am fortunate enough to find something more stable, cultivating healthy writing habits is key.  Why not try committing myself to a plan for the year?  I think 52 posts before 2012 is reasonable, even if I am a week or two late getting started.

For more information on the challenge, visit The Daily Post at WordPress.com.
