New Challenge

Okay, so I think I have some explaining to do. My blogs this week have been more than a little irregular, and I don't really have any decent excuses other than christmas and just forgetting to blog, which is a shame because I was doing so well with the blog every day in December thing. This brings me on very nicely to my purpose of this particular post, which is that I have decided to set myself a new challenge.
Starting o New Years Day, I will be starting a project of blogging every day in 2012, although to make it managable, it won't be every day. I'm going to be allowing myself a set number of holidays for the year on which I wouldn't need to blog. This should cover the events of illness, memory malfunction and insufficient equipment for blogging.
My theory is this: there are 365 days in this coming year. It would be unreasonable to expect a blog on every one of those days. I considered. just making this a weekday thing, which would allow me 104 days of not having to blog (52 weeks in a year, two days of each of those weeks) but that just seems like a very long time to not have to blog, plus the holidays which I will still certainly require.
I think it would be fair to allow myself a week of holidays for the year. That is seven days which could be taken consecutively or randomly throughout the year on which I could take a guilt free day away from blogging and then return with little or no explanation needed. If at any point I exceed my days of holidays, I will allow my friends to challenge me to do something as a punishment which I will then video and blog.
To make this period of consistent blogging more interesting and manageable, I'll be accepting challenges just like I have been doing for the past few weeks. I'll need challenges every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Now also I'm considering making this blog more public than it already is. I'll start using the tagging words system and sharing interesting posts on my HP Facebook page, where I have an audience of about 400 people who I have never met and yet share an interest in the magical world, hence why they like my page. This should help me to obtain a slightly wider audience, as I'm not expecting a lot of people from the page to actually pay any attention to me and start reading this, but I know for certain that a few will because they seem to like me.
Some of mg posts may be in video form, like a vlog, which is going to be an interesting experience for me but its something I've always wanted to try, and I think I might finally give it a go.
So, as a final summation, I will make a blog post every day of 2012 with the exception of seven days. Challenges every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and punishments after the 8th day that I don't blog. Don't forget to be awesome, and I'm gone.
