Buttontapper Challenge: Day 8

Monthly Challenges – Do you participate in any other monthly challenges? Which ones, and why (or why not)? In addition to this challenge, I hope to take part again in the April A to Z Challenge. The rewards for completing that one in 2016 were tremendous. Through my “E is for Eritrea” post, one ofContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 8”

Buttontapper Challenge: Day 7

STOP Doing – What are some of the things you want to STOP doing this year, and just let go? Once again, making a list of what I will stop doing is dangerously close to making a New Year’s resolution. So this one will be short, too. I plan to stop wasting time by watchingContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 7”

Buttontapper Challenge: Day 6

Start Doing – What are some things you want to start doing this year? This had better be a short list since I already have more on my plate than I can handle. Thankfully, tomorrow’s topic is Stop Doing, which should be longer. Taking up this challenge is an example of one thing I wantContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 6”

Buttontapper Challenge: Day 5

Audacious Goals – Let’s make some goals! Let’s make them SMART and BIG! Hoo-boy. This one is tough. I have some big goals, even audacious ones, but the idea of writing them down as SMART goals, well that’s just plain scary, like climbing up a mountainside scary. Any goal I can write up as aContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 5”

Buttontapper Challenge: Day 4

Big Dreams – What are you dreaming about doing this year? Tell us about something you’ve been obsessed with, or that you’re just beginning to visualize. Completing the first draft of my novel-in-progress is my big dream this year. I thought I had almost completed a first draft a couple of years back. But theContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 4”

Buttontapper Challenge: Day 3

This Year’s Plans – What have you got planned for 2018? Show us some pictures of your planner! I have one big event planned and one goal I hope to complete in 2018. The big event is a trip to Norway with my sister. We won’t be taking a typical tour package. My sister hasContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 3”

Buttontapper Challenge: Day 2

New Year’s Resolutions? – Do you or don’t you? Why or why not? I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions. Why not? Because I haven’t figured out the secret of selecting meaningful resolutions that will end with success. If I can succeed at following a resolution all year long, it is likely something lacking in significance.Continue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 2”

Buttontapper Challenge: Day 1

Introductions – Introduce yourself! Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you decide to join the challenge. The first 21 years of my life I spent trying to get away from my home town. Life in my home town was boring. All I had to do to prove this was turn on the TVContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 1”

Buttontapper Challenge for January

January’s Theme: New Year, New You! Starting in January 2018, author Laura Roberts will be hosting monthly challenges on her website Buttontapper Press and will comment on the Buttontapper Challenge page on Facebook. I’m joining her challenge. My goal will be to post daily, but I recognize that sometimes life gets in the way, and I’mContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge for January”
