Here Goes Nothing...

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you don't try, you'll never know. Or something like that.

I'm challenging myself this month. There's a 31 Day Challenge, spearheaded by The Nester. And Kate from Five Minute Friday has added a twist which I love. Write all 31 posts in 5 minutes each. Considering I am usually 6.75 days late to the Five Minute Friday prompt each week, 31 days IN A ROW is daunting. But, perhaps 5 minutes a day for 31 days is manageable. Perhaps. Most of the writers pick a theme. I don't know if I have that in me yet. However, Kate has saved the day. She made a prompt list. She's using it to write 31 days of life in South Africa.  I am using the SAME list so that I can take a stab at actually writing for 31 days in a row. (32 if you count today. HA!)

So ... thanks Kate for making it a little less scary for me to test the waters. We shall see if a theme emerges in my 31 days of 5 minute free writes.

For now, I am excited to try it out. So thanks for reading along with me!

**Here are the prompts from Kate. If I am super coordinated, I will remember to hyperlink all my posts below. As they come. (and add the words for the TBD when we get them)  note: no guest post for me.
