I was amused to read a message on Facebook recently in which someone had appealed for help starting a blog and a friend had replied saying 'Write often' repeatedly throughout his other suggestions. Every second sentence was 'Update regularly' or 'Write often'. The phrases were repeated like a mantra throughout. I thought with some regret and even a touch of guilt about my little blog and how very long it is since i have written anything. It barely started before it just dwindled away. Writing regularly is a thing i must do i told myself (i have been experimenting with some fiction writing and thought the discipline of a regular blog would be a good way to encourage the writing habit). Then in one of those lovely little coincidences that life sometimes gives us as an unexpected gift, i received an e-mail about a "Bloggers Bootcamp'. Too good to miss i decided. So i have enrolled. It hasn't started yet... but i have.

BOOT CAMP!!! sign me up I need it badly. Thanks for the boot up the bum I seriously have to accept, I'm on to it :-) x
we seem to be on a similar trek, you and i! last month i challenged myself to write everyday for 30 days thinking that would set the habit. i think i made it 26 days and now haven't written in two weeks.... eek. hopefully the boot camp will help. love that you're taking drawing class and your 2009 idea of taking a photo everyday.
