I Can. I Will.
It is just the day two of the every day blogging challenge that I am a part of. The feeling that is very prominent since yesterday is that I am biting more than I can chew.
Though a blank page on the Windows Live Writer is open since morning, I have vetoed at least a dozen blog posts ideas, as none of them were spectacular enough!! Yeah, I have the audacity to think like this when anything should be welcome. I can feel that my grey cells are under a lot of pressure as I have lots on my mind. And the mind is running in ten different directions…
For blogging challenges, usually, I schedule my posts in advance, so that gives me a lot of time the next day to think, write and read too. But this time, I haven’t organised my schedule that well. And now we have to leave for a dinner at a friend’s place in an hour’s time and the thought of not posting for the day is making me anxious. Of course, I can quit participating in this blogging challenge but a thought which I read long back is reverberating in my head, it says, ‘nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.’
So, I am going to try a bit harder, organize my day and thoughts better and schedule my posts in advance and will successfully complete what I have embarked on.

Don’t worry too much or fret about it. I am sure, given your phenomenal ability to churn out awesome posts regularly, it is just a matter of time before you get into UBC with the amazing drive and energy that we all know you possess. Until then, just go with the flow 🙂

Thank you so much Praveen for the faith and support! 🙂

You sure can and you will. I am impressed. I never schedule anything. Always have been a fly by the seat of my pants kind of girl. One of those Scarlett O’Hara mantras I live by “I’ll think about that tomorrow!!” Unfortunately that usually turns up the pressure even more to succeed but sometimes you can accomplish it on pure adrenalin. You got this Shilpa!! So glad we are doing this together. ♥

I love your spirit, Kathy! Wish I could do that way too!! But I worry and fret a lot! 😛 I am really glad that we are blogging together this month too! Cheers 🙂

This is the main reason why I stick to writing one story. Coming up with 31 new ideas I believe is tougher. But I know you darling you will pass this challenge with flying colours! Believe me 🙂 <3

Writing a 31 day long story is amazing and very demanding! 31 different posts is my kind of thing 😛 Thanks a lot, Richa for all the encouragement and support! Appreciate it a lot! Cheers 🙂 ♥

Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves Shilpa, it is good to let go once in a while and see the wonders it does.

I know what you mean, Reshma. But now that I am into it, I need to finish it!! 😀
January 3, 2014 9:58 am|
Of course you can!
I don’t know how you do it though!
Love and hugs!

Shilpa, you have this phenomenal ability to turn anything into a post. And make it look good. Look at this post for example. You’ve just chronicled the thoughts running through your head in absolute style. And that’s why I love reading your posts 🙂
