Oh, I know! It's a perverse self-challenge.

I agree with Jenn -- if it's killing you, don't do it ;) (I usually only blog during the week -- with a once-in-a-while book report blog on the weekends.)

Now it's a THING. I have to complete my mission.

But I will never do it again.

O_O

I probably will end up doing them all, because seriously ... I'm already out of blog content. o_O

To echo what everyone else has said, the commitment to daily blogging shouldn't bog you down. I've tried to commit to certain days (Fearless Friday, for example) and let the other ones be nice little extras.

I'm going to say the OPPOSITE of everyone else.

Please, for the love, finish blogging every day for the rest of August! I NEED COMPANY. IT'S SO HARD/EXHAUSTING/AWFUL!

Ha ha.

If you quit, I'd understand. No guilt attached. ;)

Oh, Steph, I was seriously thinking today, "I can't do it. One more post tomorrow ... maybe even one on Wednesday ... and I'm out."

But here you are EXHORTING.

Exhortations are hard to ignore.

Plus it's a THING now. I have to succeed at this weird little self-challenge.

I'm just so sick of myself.

:-D

It is a THING. A THING we probably won't repeat next August! Ha!

I have a difficult time stepping away from something I've publicly challenged myself to. It's why I'm an excellent candidate every year for NaNoWriMo. ;)

I have your posts flagged or Tracked...that sounds so. stalkerish! So, I'll read whatever you have on your mind.

I've been brainstorming ways to make my blog more interesting. We'll see.... :-)

I'm thoroughly sick of myself. But I'm curious to see whether or not I can do this.
