One Post Per Day Challenge
When I first joined Bubblews, I participated in this “10 posts per day challenge” as the daily limit of Bubblews were 10 posts. I never thought I could make it even though it required only 400 characters. With the motivation from the challenge and encouragement from other members, I made it and I always made 10 posts per day. I realized it was not as difficult as I thought. Sometimes we just need to challenge ourselves, push our limits higher, and we can always make it. It is always said Sky is the Limit.
I have not been very active in submitting articles here, mainly it is because I am more comfortable with writing personal posts like how we wrote in Bubblews, just to share my life and thoughts, but here in LiteracyBase, it seems to require more proper articles, and I doubt I can produce good articles to be published. But I am thankful my few articles are approved and published, even though they are not really well written. I think it is good for me to practice more in order to be better.
I am motivated by an article written by Shaloo Walia. She mentioned the ways to overcome writer’s block. I think my main obstacle is lacking of confidence. Actually I do not need to wait until everything is in the ideal condition, such as I am in a quiet environment without disturbance from my children, I have clear ideas on what I want to write, most importantly I wish my English is better. If I do not make my first step, I will never improve. Moreover I always have the experience that once I start writing, the inspiration will just come to me and I can just keep writing. So I think I should start challenging myself to write at least one post in a day.
I will submit a post to LiteracyBase daily in August, it can be 300 words or 500 words. It does not only help me to practice how to write better articles, it also helps me to observe everything around me so I can get some inspirations to write. Moreover, it helps to make some extra money and might bring some good traffics to the site too. With so many benefits, I should really do this.
I have already submitted two posts in the past two days, so I think I can do this! I am actually typing this while holding my sleeping baby, so I should not give myself excuse anymore for not being able to do so. I always like to tell myself and others “There is a will, there is a way“. When we want to do something, we can always find a way to do it.
At the moment, I am not going to limit myself to any topics, so I will just observe everything in my life, and write a post about it. You are welcomed to join me in this challenge. You might want to set different numbers of articles per day or per week.
Let’s challenge ourselves and always strive to be better.
If you would like to blog, interact with others and also make some extra money online at the same time, you are welcomed to join us at LiteracyBase.

great idea.
I used to write 2 posts per day but lately, I had been busy with rpeparing my son's exam, 10th aug, so I have to be offline for 2 weeks.
I will try posting at least 1 post daily
I am glad that you have decided to write a post daily here. With the kind of thoughtful and lengthy comments you write in the forums, I don't think writing a post is going to be a problem for you. Good luck with your challenge!
I am OK writing posts here. Some get paid OK but get paid less that I expect. Atleast I get to write which is a good thing.
You are a great writer @Lee Ka. It should be cakewalk for you. Do not worry about what you are writing on. Just write.
The problem with the challenges is that I instantly get a mental block. As soon as somebody says write a post per day and something like that, my mind goes blank, my hands freeze and I can't type out anything! I'm weird like that. :)
Yes, it is very important to motivate yourself all the time, even for the most challenging tasks.
If you just write whatever you like with a low minimum word count, I am sure writing 10 posts a day is very enjoyable.
once you start to worry about the payment rate, and word count, that kills half the joy of writing.
It is the flow of thoughts that makes you work steadily and within the context if you know what you are writing. Others do it with a ready outline on hand. And I would subscribe that idea. You won't go away from the topic you are developing. And you know where to stop without changing the thought of your post.
If you're used to writing, you know the mechanics. You know where the error lies or the grammar inconsistency falls. Then you are apt to do the correction right away. Awhile ago, I come across with a post that the title is grammatical wrong. Take a look of this: "...can leads..." You know where the error is?
The secret is to write simply and you know how to correct it later on. Your sentences are written in a simple form. The verb and the predicate could easily be detected as to their coherence, as to the agreement. And this rule is taken up when you're in your elementary grades. In the college, you write confidently and your tenses, your phrases are in order.
All of these take a practice and practice and practice.
I was also a member of bubbles at some point and I always made it a habit to do my ten posts everyday. I always used to sit down and throughout the day I would get ideas from the events that used to go on around me, and that way I was able to get to my ten posts each day without having to struggle. I used to find a lot of fun in doing it. Most of the time I would sacrifice my sleep to do them. Here I find it much easier to do forums and blogs by answering questions. Which I am having lots of fun and also learning quite a lot from different posts.
It would not be a tough job and I hope every member will consider it. I am trying to write one post per day and will create quality stuff here on this site.
Yes, daily writing posts is the best job and hobby sitting at home but to write an blog article you must be full of ideas 24 hours like a lover, a lunatic and ta man man. These three [persons always remain ful of imaginations.
Do you ever sit down to write a blog post, article or chapter and nothing, but nothing appears in your mind? This is the dreaded ‘writer’s block’. The good new is that if you use the following 15 tips, you will generate more ideas than you need, love the writing process, and never ever get stuck.
As writers, we suffer from a split personality. On one side is the Creator who wants to splash wild ideas all over the page and falls in love with every sentence, and on the other side is the Editor who sits there with pursed lips and ticks off the mistakes.
It’s really important to keep these two apart! When you’re finding and developing an idea, send the Editor on holiday. When you want to refine what you have written, stuff the Creator into a cage. The first 10 of the following tips will unleash your Creator, the last 5 will give direction to your Editor.
The right place to look for inspiration is – everywhere! Keep your creative mind on the alert at all times. Let’s imagine that you write a blog about blogging. Here is how you could use your everyday experience as inspiration. You wake up early in the morning: “Why early morning is the best time for writing.”
You take a shower: “How to come up with 20 great ideas in the shower.” You have breakfast: “15 reasons why good nutrition can make you a fabulous writer.” You get into your car: “10 important things driving a car can teach you about writing”, and so on.
Not all of your ideas will mature into articles because some may be wacky. But wacky is good! Because anything out of the ordinary can trigger your creativity. Check out this great article on how to keep inspiration alive.
