Project 366 for 2012
Project365 – a photo a day. A simple concept; take a picture every day for a year. Share with friends. See where the year takes you. I completed Project365 in 2010 thanks to encouragement from a few friends. After taking this year off, I’m ready to try again in 2012. I’m looking for others to join me.

30 Days – Just Write
After taking the month of October off from my 30-Day challenge routine, I am getting back in the flow in November. Keeping it simple, some may even say just write. In past years I have participated in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), where the goal is to create a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. I originally planned to do this … Continue reading

Give it a chance to see if it works for you or you develop (or break) a habit. … Continue reading
Tips and Thoughts from Project 365 – A Photo a Day
One picture every day for a year. It sounds difficult. What can you find to photograph for 365 days? I did not know what would fill my lens each day when a pair of friends suggested the idea late last year. I did decide to join the, and on Sunday I posted my final picture online. Over the year we … Continue reading
11 for 11 – Goals for the New Year
2010 sucked, plain and simple. Therefore, I am excited for a new year. Last year I set some goals (I guess some would call them resolutions) for the year for the first time – other than my normal drink more, smoke more and gain 15 pounds resolution. How did I fair? Well, we’ll get to that soon.
