Frustrations...And Solutions

One of the biggest fears I had when I decided to start a blog was that I wouldn't be able to write in it, and it would end up being filled with sorry-for-the-lack-of-updates posts and then soon forgotten, gathering dust on some corner of the internet. Because I wanted so badly for this not to happen, I made a blogging schedule. I planned articles a month before I made the blog (OCD much, hey?). Sadly, time got ahead of me and I wasn't able to actually write the articles. My personal deadline for the blog has passed and I still had only one article, but I decided to just let it be and make the blog anyway. Unfortunately, I've found that I've been feeling very un-inspired when I actually sit down and try to write a good blog post. What come out as articles are just meager whims-of-the-moment junk sitting in my drafts list.

Thankfully, I came across a post by Jemimah from Beautiful Blank Pages (awesome blogger and a friend of mine--go check out her blog!) where she included a list of topics to write about, the 100 Theme Writing Challenge. I usually think of challenges as just guides to help me, but I saw this one as an opportunity, a challenge. I was going to do the original list but thought that the second one, the "emotions" list (naks!), might be a bit easier. I opted for the easier since this would be my first writing challenge.
