On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Needed a wifi network that could handle a simple process – downloading photos to iCloud. Note the 4:46am at the top?
Starbucks was much closer (than McD’s) to Disney’s Grand Californian Resort.
The Disney Star Wars 10k began at 5:30am.
Arrived at Starbucks in the dark before 5am. Left at 7:15am (and daylight).
Writing five daily, differently-themed posts would be so much quicker and easier if it weren’t for my desire to add photos to help tell the story.
Photos are evidence that something happened the way it was written.
Without the photos, many writers default to, “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.”
i literally despise that premise.
Being inside the storytelling (professional speaking) arena for 16+ years, i’m here to tell you it’s rampant. And i believe it’s criminal – the antithesis of building trust and offering hope.

The value of our yesterday is often below our conscious thought because we are generally very busy keeping up with the fast pace of life. Being busy becomes a deeply embedded habit and dramatically inhibits living consciously.
This is the main reason why i chose to continue writing five daily, differently-themed blogs after the 100-day challenge was officially completed.
Daily writing, or journaling, in solitude before the day gets busy, grounds us in a way nothing else comes close to. And now it’s been over 2,200 consecutive days.
