December is a month of giving, and in that spirit, I'm challenging myself to write and publish here one flash atomic non-fiction essay of 200-300 words each day. This inspiration came to me by Massimo Curatella's example has pushed me to act. We'll see.
Finding topics to write about and taking the time to write and revise them will be a sizable challenge. The effort will vary, but if I deliver the goods, the outcome is assured. I'll have to up my game in the communication department to have something worthwhile to read and step up my writing skills. Here are a few more metaphors I could use here to describe what I think touches on the effort needed to succeed: I'll stretch my writing chops, grow some cojones, dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
The compounding effect of writing and publishing daily will surface stuff from the unconscious, some of which I'm looking forward to. Some days I expect the writing will go better than others. I hope consistency will prevail over intensity, and by setting the bar low, I can build strength. By the time January 2021 comes around, I'll be a better writer, someone worth reading.
