Okay, I achieved the target of writing 30 articles for the Bubblews site. That does work out to one per day, but any eagle-eyed observer might notice that there were some days when I didn’t manage to write an article (hey, sometimes life gets in the way!) I did, however, make up for this by writing an extra article or so on a following consequetive day.

I am very proud of having been so persistent with this. Furthermore, I have earned myself some money on the Bubblews site. It might not be a King’s Ransom, but it is a bonus!

I’m a little bit disappointed with myself for not having got round to writing anything for the Triond website as yet. So this is something I’ll be aiming to address this month. I have been working on a lot of other things internet writing related, however, so I suppose I can give myself some slack over this. I did check out another website and have it saved to favourites. I still need to sign up to it, however. Still, its a good start and I certainly feel set up for more article writing over the next few months.

In all, not too bad – but could do a little better in terms of motivation. (Oh dear, that sounds like the inner critic coming out! Click here to check out a post on how to deal with self-sabotage by the inner enemy on ‘Success Psychology‘ .)

Stand-by for the next challenge which I’ll be starting tomorrow (there’ll be a post about it then!)

What do you think of my 30 day challenge? Have you been doing one yourself which you’d like to share your experiences about? If so, please feel free to post a comment below. I’d love to hear from you.
