I have an intense internal desire to share my life and what I’m learning publicly.
It’s why I started my 30-day Click Publish Challenge in August and since that one ended I’ve wanted to restart.
Frankly, I wish I would have kept going.
One thing that helped me Click Publish in August was not overwhelming myself, lowering the bar, and doing the absolute minimum to click Publish.
And as I’ve been thinking deeply about all of this I came back to my beloved WordPress. And started examining what I’m really trying to do.
I asked …. why does someone release their art? Or their music?
It’s simply a means of expression.
Rolling your ideas, thoughts, work into the light of day so that others can see it.
It means rolling it out “in the arena” as Teddy Roosevelt coined.
But my expression got held up or as Pressfield says “the resistance” got me.
I got held up by the term “blogging” because the term has evolved in my mindset to mean … 1500 words or less, polished and edited, block quotes, lists, subheads … oh and a great compelling headline … don’t forget about the CTA and finally SEO!
So I’m starting Click Publish again. I don’t know how long, but I want to keep doing it.
I’m “making public” something of me, from me each day.
So I’m not “blogging,” I’m PUBLISHING.
