31 Days of May Challenge 2011 - A True Challenge For The Not So Everyday Blogger

31 Days of May Challenge 2011Sitting here contemplating about my last entry for the 31 Days of May Challenge 2011, I reflect upon this challenge.  First of all, I want to thank Christina ONeal, who made it pretty simple by not putting too many restrictions for this challenge. Although some may have disagreed with her simplicity, but I think her main focus was for bloggers, especially newbies to start blogging.  

I have been blogging on Active Rain for three years now, participating in various contests.  The biggest challenge for me is to blog daily on Active Rain and besides with me vacationing in Germany I thought this would be the perfect challenge for the not so everyday blogger.

Lucky for me Germany is six hours ahead - I have the time to spend time with my family during most of the day and then in the evening while hubby was sleeping I was up writing a blog post in the middle of the night past 12 midnight and still get credit for the challenge - I didn't mind a little advantage for me :)

I am doing the happy dance because I have met the challenge, that I seriously thought I could not meet because my statistics of writing over 20 articles a month on Active Rain is almost non existent.  I don't know if others met this challenge, since we on our last day of entry, so what if you did not meet the challenge - at least you started and all beginnings are difficult. Believe me as time goes on it will get easier.  Remember, practice makes perfect or as I say it "practice makes progress".  I don't think there is ever a way to have the perfect blog post even it is featured.

Will I stop now? Heck no!  Maybe not 31 articles, but certainly want to increase my blog posting to like 25 per months - so let's see if I can take my own challenge instead of somebody else.

Hi Petra,  congratulations on finishing the challenge and becoming 3000 points "richer" :-)  It definitely shows quite some dedication to blog while on vacation!   And it also demonstrates quite nicely that you can still be involved in real estate locally from quite a distance away!  Now get some Schokolade im lila Papier und celebrate! :-)
