September CHALLENGE ~ Mid-Month Check-In

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Beam & Branch Realty TREC #547752

Can you believe that it is the middle of September already? Time is flying. But, you still have time to complete your three blog posts as part of a series for the September AR Challenge!

We have already seen many of you complete the challenge! Well done! If you are still busy writing, we can't wait to see your entries. Our hope is this challenge encourages you to come up with a series of posts in any area of your choosing.

Here is a reminder about this challenge:

Here are the guidelines:

1. You must write at least THREE posts in your series between September 1, 2023 - September 30, 2023, by midnight on the 30th

2. Each post must have at least 300 words, be your own content, contain at least one picture per post, and have a series title that identifies the series. Saturday Soundness~Toxins, or Slab to Shingles~Identifying a Builder. 

IF all three posts in the series are written during this timeframe, each of the three entry posts will receive 1,000 points each for a total of a possible 3,000. **If only 1 or 2 posts are completed, those entries will receive 225 points per post. As you can see, it pays to play in this contest! 3,000 whopping points are cool!

Dr. Paula McDonald - I must. I must. I must. Sit down and focus on writing my series and get them published.  I've been down so many rabbit holes this month - my head is spinning! 

Sep 15, 2023 10:38 AM
Dr. Paula McDonald

I know that I caused you to go down those rabbit holes. It can be overwhelming but worth it to fully, "wake up". Hugs.

So far it's been a crazy mixed up month here Paula.  So we'll see - I do have an idea for a series at least.  Great contest!  I've been enjoying at least reading many of the entries!

Hi Paula, 

I only have one more post to do.  I just completed my second post yesterday.  I am not creating a post on the Challenge page until I finish all three.  My series is "Enjoying the Sedona Lifestyle."  I will continue it after the third post.  There is a lot to write about.
