Introducing… Write, Write, Write!
I have a problem. Two problems, actually; two problems that, when combined, form one particularly nasty problem.
1) I am a perfectionist, especially with my own work (even more so with writing).
2) I am impatient.
Such problems can be detrimental when one is trying to change the world… or provide content for a website. Sure enough, I often run into major difficulties when writing a new Don’tASQ “blurb.” I may spend several hours drafting, revising, and nitpicking any given article, only to get sick of doing so and release it “unpolished.” Or worse, I may write part of an article, save it as a draft, and refuse to finish it when I realize that the first draft just didn’t live up to my standards. (There are three such drafts hidden in the database at this very moment.) I have yet to actually publish an article that hasn’t been written in just one session. Combine this with the fact that I’ve got 30-40 ideas sitting around on post-its and paper scraps which I still haven’t fully developed, and you may wonder how I ever get anything done at all. I often wonder that myself.
Enter Creativity Boot Camp. The process is simple: Just write something — every day. I’d thought about such a task numerous times, but something about that post inspired me to actually do something about it. (I’d highly recommend giving it a read if you’re into any sort of creative work.) And I’d never considered making it into a full-blown project… until now.
*ahem* Introducing… Write, Write, Write! In short, I will write at least one Blurblog post every day for the next 30 days. I will make every attempt to write quality material, but I obviously won’t be able to put in the time I would normally prefer. These posts will all be included in the “Write, Write, Write!” category, and I cannot guarantee that they will be insightful, unique, or even sensible… but I will take full credit if they are. 
Otherwise, not much will have changed (other than the frequency of new posts, obviously). Hopefully, this next month will allow me to dust off some of my notebooks and whiteboards and bring some novel ideas into the limelight. And I hope Creativity Boot Camp is more enjoyable for you than it will be for me!
