Join Me in The Written Word Challenge?
December 11, 2010 · Print This Article
I earn my living by writing words. The more I write, the more $$ I make.
I decided this would make a good idea for a challenge, because I could use a little push right now. I will post my word counts each day for a whole week (Mon-Fri). And I will try to increase them every day or as much as I can without totally stressing myself out.
ALL words will count -
blog posts
commenting on other blogs
forum posts
articles
emails
sales pages
info product creation
etc.
- because all these words are either directly related to making money or in building brand which will, in turn, have a positive affect on income.
Do you want to join me?
I totally realize this next week is NOT going to be the best with the holidays approaching and shopping still needing to be completed. Plus my kids will be home more than usual… but what the heck. It seems like every week has it’s distractions.
I’ll post my daily results in the comment section, and you can do the same!
And you don’t have to start the same day as me – - take this challenge whenever you want to. 
The end results will be interesting; not the total word counts, but what all has been created and happened because of those words.
Cheers,
Peggy
P.S. This idea was inspired by Ruth at WebCareerGirl who challenged herself to write 50,000 words last year!

Ok, just so you know I’m taking this challenge seriously, I’m about to make 4 nights worth of dinners to freeze so I don’t have to stop making words early in order to make dinner each afternoon.
See ya Monday!

Glad I could inspire you Peggy
This challenge is a great idea! Even better is when you reach the end and think about how much extra you’ve done. And freezing dinners in advance… that’s so organized! Good luck and look forward to following your progress (though I won’t be joining in this time!)

Hi Ruth,
Thanks for inspiring me! I do like to be organized, but I realize that could fall apart towards the end of the week. Life does happen!
I will probably spend some time today, Sunday, creating a plan. No sense jumping in without direction or I’l be writing words without a purpose or a goal.
Love your blog!
Peggy
Since there’s nary a time when I’m *not* writing, I’ll pass, but did want to wish you the best of skill! Taking the time to push yourself is a very good thing indeed.

Thanks, Barbara. I hope I do you proud!

I think I’m going to skip this one. I’m putting more emphasis on my other projects and they need some serious lifting in the work i put into them.
Thanks for coming up with the idea though, i’ll apply it to my other projects.

Hi Peter,
Yeah, this challenge isn’t for everyone. But it’s sure making me get my butt in gear.
As long as you’re putting in the time on something important, then that’s what matters. Good luck with your focus and goals, Peter!
