Perseverance matters (or Day 3 of the challenge)

Well, I haven’t kept my promise of writing for consecutive 66 days to create a writing habit. There are many reasons for that, but I wouldn’t tell them here because I believe they are excuses- not real reasons. I believe that when a person wants to do something, he will find ways of how to do it.

In short, the reluctance of not posting anything since June 27 was the fear I experienced the morning of that day. I felt that my idea of developing my writing habit here was a stupid mistake. “You cannot write anything tangible that people will read” was the kind of thoughts I was getting in my head that day. So, I feared of putting anything here. Then, my vacation started, and I went to the place where there was no internet service. I know, I know, this is a bad excuse :)

However, the vacation was good for my thinking process. After tormenting myself with “you can’t do that” thoughts, I have realized that I have started this challenge not for the purpose of becoming a blog star (maybe one day, but not right now), but develop my writing skills that I need in my everyday life. So, life became brighter again with this wonderful thought (I am such a humble person :) ), and I decided to continue this challenge.
