The Peasant Revolt Flashback Blog Hop – Come back with me to April 2012.
My flashback blog is from April 26, 2012. I choose this post because it was a turning point in my writing and blogging. I was nearing the end of the A to Z Challenge and I came to the realization that this writing thing is work.
The A to Z Challenge has been work!
And I am exhausted. I am new to this blogging/writing thing. I say thing because I am not sure what to call it, yet. It certainly isn’t my job, but it’s not a hobby either. I think for now, I will call it a commitment.
I have committed to writing every day. I have committed to putting my thoughts and ideas and dumb ass moments out there for the world to read about.
Committing to writing every single day is work. Not only do you have to be creative, you have to be funny…

Funny you just posted this. I just posted a pep talk to get myself out of my post-holiday slump (a nice way of putting it).
Thanks Rebecca. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves why we love to do what we do.
Sydney – This reminds me of doing NaNo this past year. Exhausting, and I was only a month into the blogging thing on top of that. There’s a lot to becoming a writer who’s published!
Thanks for following and joining the book club. It will be so beneficial to read them with others. :o) Also for tweeting about it!
You are welcome. I’m excited about it. I went to a book club meeting last week with people who read a book a day and they weren’t writers. I couldn’t relate. I like the idea of reading a book with other writers.
Can’t argue with you there.
haha.
Somehow I missed you during Blogging A to Z last year- it was a lot of work and fun, wasn’t it? Are you doing it again this year?
I am. But, I can’t think of a theme. I still have time. How about you?
