Transforming Through Writing: My 29-Day Challenge Journey
Today is the day 29 of my writing challenge, when I'm about to draft the content of today's episode. I stare at my screen for a minute and I have different opinions coming through. As I begin to draft them through within paragraphs, another contrary opinion would come. I will have to delete and start writing again. Some I would save them to buttress some another day. This is to say, the purpose of the writing challenge has manifested in my writing skills.
My writing skills have been depreciating and this is one of the reasons why I initiated this challenge for Myself, also to serve as a motivation to others that writing is a good tool to increase our thinking behaviour and intellectual capability. I read in some part that, a content that was written by us, probably on a paper or in an electronic device would be easier to recall than a content that was read by us. This is to say, there are higher chances to remember what we wrote on paper or electronic devices than what we listen to.
I am using this medium to appeal to students, and members of the public, to emulate jotting down key notes in seminars, symposiums, and while attending lectures, also to give their opinions on matters that they think of.
There are different platforms that could be used to publish our opinion, instead of reposting memes and other kinds of videos. We should have the habit of extracting meaningful content ourselves and publishing it in our social media space or probably our jotter or diary. It is not necessary to draft a befitting content with several paragraphs. The purpose is that, it should be meaningful, and should be drafted in a way the receiver or readers would easily understand the content. If we are consistent in writing, before time it will become part of us. The journey of a thousand miles, starts with a bold step.
When I start this challenge, I know the path would be rough and here today, it is day 29 already. I give thanks to Almighty God for sustaining me till this time, and to all readers, I say a very big thank you for standing with me this far.
