A Fortnight of FUN

Here’s the deal.  I’m a creative person.  I get inspired when I’m creative.  If I go too long without time to be creative, I get crabby.  And although I’m inspired when I’m creative, I’m not easily inspired TO BE creative.  It’s all to easy for me to make excuses and settle and let the day pass by without taking advantage of it.  And by being creative, I mean writing, either in a journal, or on a blog or a song, or a song snippet, or a Lego statue, or a kids craft project…  I should try harder to do those things.  I truly believe that’s one of the reasons God put me on this earth… to be creative.

So there’s my confession for today.  What I’m attempting to do about it has never been done before in the history of me.  I will now attempt to blog every day for two weeks straight beginning tonight.  And by no means am I expecting to unlock the golden creative nugget at the end of those two weeks.  I’m not expecting Zondervan to call me up demanding a publishing deal.  I’m not expecting Joel Osteen to use these 14 blogs as the inspiration for his upcoming book “Still kicking the Best Life Now”.  But rather, I’m simply doing this as a discipline exercise for myself. 

I know what your thinking:  “Wow, nothing says ‘FUN’ like witnessing somebody’s discipline exercise”.  And to that I say: As a train is about to crash, you have the choice to look away.

And ONE final thing… I will not consider this experiment a success if I cop out with any blogs.  And by cop out, I mean write a blog that really has no business being a blog…. For example.

“I was watching my kids on the swing set tonight and that got me thinking… ‘ life is like that sometimes… sometimes you’re up and sometimes your down’…. Post a comment and let me know if YOU like swings”

This would be considered a ‘cop out blog’ during this experiment.  I won’t do that…  or rather, I won’t do that more than twice.

Game ON.

And I’ll consider this blog number one.

I love it! I'm so excited for you, and for me, as I love your blogs! I'm sitting here reading this while chatting with my sister-in-laws (rude, I know) and they keep asking me why I'm laughing. Bring it on!
