[...] Five Things I Learned from Pursuing My Daily Audacious Goal On January 4th I set the daily audacious goal of writing or editing a poem 5 days a week until today, February 4th. Meeting my goal would mean I’d have 23 new or revised poems by today. The actual count as of today: 16. You – or I – could look on that as a failure, but I’ve decided it was a resounding success.

Andrea: Yes, looking back even over a week’s worth of accomplishments can really give you a life, even if your “to do/want to do list” is still pretty long.

Suzanne: 15 blogs in a month is a BLAZING success in my book. Way to go!

Missy, Tessa: Thanks for your support, as always!

Kory – I had similar results, similar obstacles, a similar initial reaction but came to the same conclusion: Success!

No, I didn’t get a blog post done every day, but there are 15 more than would have gotten done had I not taken up your challenge. And good ones, too.

Congratulations on your success, too!

Wow, Kory – I love this! I was thinking this morning that it might help me to start a list of improvements; things that have shifted already. Your choice to visit the poems already written was a wise one. It is important to find that balance between motivation and pressure – you’re so right. I salute both your effort and your outcome! Can’t wait to hear about your latest daily commitment…
