Shut up! Update

Quick update for those who didn’t read my last blog post. I gave myself a challenge to not talk about this blog to anyone if they hadn’t asked me a direct question about it first. I thought I would do this in order to stop repeating myself to my friends, but really it just feels like I am keeping secrets from them as they have no idea I have a blog in the first place. I don’t want to quit but it isn’t working out for me. Since I didn’t set a time limit I am going to say that was a twenty four hour challenge, and that twenty four hours is up.

I guess I learned a lot: to think about a challenge instead of posting without a thought, that the opposite of a bad thing isn’t a good thing, and to set a time limit beforehand. Not to shabby for my first challenge. When was a good learning experience for you? I don’t know what I will do later but not too shabby. Anyways I did tell my mom some stuff last night after she asked my why I was kinda flapping my arms….. (I am like 30000% weirder in front of my parents when I am excited.) and so she asked, “Are you excited about Misery(by Stephen King)?” (I started reading it a few days ago and it is really good.)

“No,” I waited a little bit thinking about whether or not that was a close enough question for me to answer and get away with.

“What are you excited about then?” She asked.

Then I decided that that question was close enough. “I got a follower on my blog.” (Which by the way, thank you so much!) This escalated because I had it bottled up so I talked for a couple minutes, careful not to repeat myself.

But now it is the next day, and I haven’t talked at all about this. I would say that was pretty good. I’m wrapping it up now though. Thank you for reading! I hope you guys have a fabulous week since I probably wont post until Saturday! Please tell me if you like these kinds of posts or if I should try something else.

Challenge

SHUT UP!

I got a view!! That’s insane that someone actually read something that I wrote. I understand that it probably wont ever happen again but if you are reading this, thank you! It really means a lot to me.

As for what this post is about, I’ve noticed that over time I talk about writing more than I write. For my first challenge on this blog I am going to try not to say anything to anyone about this blog. I wont tell my parents that I got a like on my first post, no matter how exciting it is. I won’t give my URL to my friends a million times. I will talk about it if someone asks directly. Otherwise If I need to talk about something I’ll just come here. I already told my parents that I have a blog so they will already know, but they will probably not ask about it. Also I can just call it writing if I have to get time to get a post out. Its okay to generalize! Still not lying.

That might not seem that challenging to you but for me, if I am excited about something I usually never shut up about it. This is a little nudge to myself to just shut up. I hope it will work. Ill keep this blog posted.
