Can You? Twice in recent months, I’ve heard people mention a commitment to daily goals which struck me as totally audacious. First, my mentor Bill Brown mentioned that he and his friend Jeff Hardin were writing and exchanging a new poem EVERY DAY. That’s my emphasis, not Bill’s. Every day? How in the world? I thought. Read more [...] [...] A Daily Audacious Goal: Can I Do It? Can You? Twice in recent months, I’ve heard people mention a commitment to daily goals which struck me as totally audacious.

Although a part of me is hoping for a come-from-behind 9th inning push to get me back to my overall goal of 23 poems, the important thing is that the goal has gotten my head back into the game! Good luck with your own audacious daily blogging! I absolutely agree, BevAnn – I am NOT making my daily goal every day.

I love the idea and have even embraced it myself! You will do well with your goal and should congratulate yourself for each day you write. It is easy to give into the gremlin (that negative voice) and not commend yourself for a job well done. Before reading your post, I committed to submit a blog post for each day to help me build my success habits over the next year. What I have learned from my personal commitment is that sometimes you are less than perfect and may miss a day, but there is no reason to stop progress because of a bump in the road. Push through to imperfect action. Kory,

I'd love to hear what you're planning for future months. Hope those morning pages go well. Tessa, I’m going to put you on my list of audacious goal heroes!

When I was thinking of my resolutions for 2010, I had a long list that seemed overwhelming and impossible to implement all at once. So I looked at what the overarching theme was. That became my goal, but in order to get there, I needed to develop some habits to help me be that person. I decided that in 2010, I would have at least one habit per month that I wanted to develop to help me reach my goal. This month, my habit is to write morning pages. Congratulations on your progress!

Well, I love that idea, Darnell! And I can personally attest that you always have a lot of good ideas for priming the pump. Check back in and let Risk a Day readers know how it goes! Update on my own progress: I should have 5 poems by now; I have 3. But 2 are pretty near finished; I got stuck on one and couldn't give it up. No matter what the count, it feels great to have my mind back in a creative groove. A love poem a day? Well, I love that idea, Darnell!

I once committed to writing a draft of a new poem every day to prime my pump for the rest of my writing day. It worked great while it lasted. But just because I couldn't meet the challenge long-term, that doesn't mean it wasn't a worthy goal or that I shouldn't try it again. Some of those daily drafts became published poems. No effort is ever really wasted. I'm going to gear up to write a love poem a day during the month of February. This is such a great blog and such a great idea.

And you're VERY right, Martha - this is about showing up, not about producing something that's perfect. I'm thrilled to report I got most of a new poem drafted at lunch today! Thank you all for your comments and your sisterhood in audaciousness!
