30 Day Blog Challenge with Connie Ragen Green
Okay, here we go! I’m committing to some new bling on my blog. My colleague Connie Ragen Green has just announced her 30 Day Blog Challenge. This is either the 2nd? 3rd? maybe even 4th time Connie’s challenged her clients, business bloggers, entrepreneurs, and writers, to get off their butts and to write more and write more often. The rules of engagement seem simple enough:
.
.
- Your name must be on your blog so we can see who you are (I like this!)
- Your blog must not be X rated (whew, thankfully!)
- Each post must contain at least 150 written words (hey, ANY writer should be able to pump out 150 words a day, right?)
- You must post at least 30 times during the 30 day period – from April 10 through May 9 – to ONE blog (okay, no prob – even if I have to do the next 29 in one day – I can DO this)
- You may post as many times as you like during a 24 hour period, but you must have at least 30 posts published between April 10 and May 9 to qualify for the challenge (now, doesn’t that sound easy enough to do?)
What I like about this challenge is it’s a daily writing goal. And it’s happening in a community of others, so those who participate don’t have to go it alone. And that’s how it is with any kind of writing, isn’t it? We need goals, prompts, baby action steps, and people who cheer us on.
Will you join me in Connie’s 30 Day Blog Challenge? At the least, I hope you’ll tell me how I’m doing by leaving a comment for me in the comment box below. Thank you!
P.S. If you’re on Twitter, please retweet and follow the challengers using the hashtag #blog30.
Glad you’re a compatriot on our new journey! I look forward to your wisdom.

You are a brave woman. I’m too busy to join you in the 30 Day Blog Challenge, but I look forward to reading your daily posts.
Good luck, and don’t forget to go grocery shopping.
Darrelyn, brave? I don’t know about that but am in the mood for a challenge. About that grocery shopping… didn’t I hear you say you’ll take care of that for me? Or was that all a big dream I had? Hmmm…
