I'm having a great time working on the 100 articles for the #hubchallenge. I just put up another article about succulents. Someone was grousing that the challenge was a terrible idea because it's going to create low quality hastily written articles that are just going to gunk up the Internet. I'm sure that is possible, but most of us take pride in our work and will be doing our best not to let our quality suffer. My quality has actually gone up because I've been on the site for 3 years and there are a lot more bells and whistles now than at the beginning so I can make my work there better and better with videos, RSS feeds, photos, and so much more. And I feel a great passion is happening like a writer's revival of sorts. Writers that were in a slump and haven't added new material in a long time are coming out of the woodwork to meet the challenge and show off their skills.
Won't you join us over there as a reader or a writer?

My Hubchallenge Listings So Far
Hmm, I'm not going to get very far if I keep adding stuff to the ones I've already written instead of moving on. Here are my first five.5/100

When I Get Discouraged
Someone asked me tonight about an erotic story I wrote a few years ago. I just checked the website and that story has had 325,569 hits. Perhaps I should write another one. I can't post it here because Blogger is so vanilla. I'm surprised my friend remembered that story. It's been years since he's read it.
Hubchallenge 3

I finished another hub. This one is about Polka Dots. My love for polka dots actually. Like for sewing and fashion and home decor. Go see.

Keeping a Daily Blog

I just finished my 2nd article for the challenge. http://hubpages.com/hub/Keeping-a-Daily-Blog
It's about Blogging, a topic near and dear to my heart. This blog isn't my daily one obviously. My daily one is Craft a Day. You've probably seen it. It's the blog I have with the most followers. Thirty-two followers the last time I checked. It seems kind of funny to write about writing. I sure seem to be writing a lot lately. What I'm supposed to be doing is reading. I'm halfway through Breaking Dawn and it's overdue already. Yikes. That 2 weeks went by fast.

Write for Hubpages

I'm just accepted a challenge to write 100 articles for Hubpages in 30 days. My first article is about dance: http://hubpages.com/hub/100-Reasons-to-Dance I think this is a great publicity stunt on their part. And the first thing in months that has motivated me to write more for Hubpages.

Journalspace Bites the Dust
I just became aware that my blog on Journalspace no longer exists. Indeed, none of the blogs on journalspace exist,and they suspect employee sabotage. http://www.blogherald.com/2009/01/02/journalspace-blogging-platform-dies-why-you-must-keep-your-own-backups/
Ever wonder why you should back up your blogs? I haven't actively written on that blog in a few months so I'm not crying too hard. They may or may not be able to retrieve blogs down the road. It is a shame if I lost all those years of blogging, but I am glad I didn't put all my eggs in one basket as I also blog here, on tribe.net, on journalspace, on vox, and on some others. That way if any one of them goes belly up, I don't lose everything. I will survive.
