The 365 began in July 2009 and is a challenge I made to write every day. I know, big shocker, right? I was inspired by a friend of mine who is making a daily log of photographs as a reflection of her year, and it made me want to do something similar. Of course I’m not a photographer, I’m barely even a writer… But I am excited at the prospect of chronicling my experiences in the days ahead.
So for me, this project is kind of two-fold:
1. First, I want to write for me. I want to document the experiences of this coming year – the ups, the downs, the hardships, the victories. I challenge myself to write about it and not just let days pass by me in a blur. I’ll try to write something every day. Maybe not a lot. Maybe nothing relevant. Maybe just a picture. But it’s something. Inspired by the day, the moment, my emotion, my experience. Maybe that doesn’t make for a very interesting blog, but it makes for something I want to have: a documented journey.
2. Second, if you want to read it, I want to write for you. I hope this next year holds some exciting days and I want you to be a part of it. And if this next year just holds regular days, then I guess you’ll be a part of that too.
The 365 started on July 21st, 2009. The numbered tag at the bottom of each post lets you know how far along I am.
