Thirty days. Thirty articles. I really enjoyed the "Write 30 in 30" challenge. It gave me the opportunity to challenge myself to write instead of continually putting it off. I had always told myself "someday," and that "someday" finally arrived. It was a commitment that felt both inspiring and daunting when I started. Today, as I reflect on this journey, I see not only the words I wrote but also the growth I experienced along the way.
I started out with writer's block and had no idea what I was going to write about. Once I decided, I forced myself to dig deeper into my own experiences and perspectives. By sharing my journey and reflecting on personal milestones, each article became a small window into who I am and where I have come from.
Writing daily wasn't always easy, and some days my brain felt like mush. It was nearly impossible to keep to the 30-minute deadline. Although I managed it with some articles, others took up to an hour to write. Some articles were written over multiple days. I found that reflection is powerful, and it made me appreciate how far I’ve come. It was humbling to see the growth in my life and career.
This challenge rekindled my love for writing, and I’ve started building momentum for my blog. The "Write 30 in 30" challenge may have ended, but the habit of writing lives on. There’s still so much to explore - new articles and fresh perspectives. I’m grateful for this experience and excited to see where it leads.
To anyone considering a challenge like this, I say: start. There’s something transformative about committing to the process, even when you’re unsure of the outcome.
