I am starting a new challenge, this one will be a 52 week challenge, yes a full year! And I am going to time it with the Chinese New Year, the year of the Dragon!

I will keep track of the full challenge on my 52 Weeks of Blogging Challenge page. As of right now, this is the list that I’m hoping to accomplish.

1. Shed the stress. Yeah – half the people I know, who claim blogger’s block are giving in to the stress they feel. The very thought of writing a post freaks them out and they decide not to attempt it at all. Writing a blog post can be a cake walk. Just gather your thoughts and get going! Write about why you are stressing about writing.
2. Write about an event in your life. I’ve noticed that most readers enjoy personal stories. Why? Because they can identify with them. So, show your readers your human side.
3. Write about what’s happening around you. This can be news, a one-off incident or why, even a conversation you had with someone, or a sight you saw on the way home from work.
4. Read something somewhere? What are your views on it? Write about it!
5. One of my favorites—Is a book review. Review the book you are reading. What, you don’t read? Hmph! Go ahead and tell your audience why you don’t read!
6. My 30 before 60 blog. 30 things I wanna do before I turn 60
7. Host a blog hop. It is fun, it brings you new readers and makes your blog buzz!
8. Write a post about your five favorite blogs/bloggers. And let them know so they can come visit your post and perhaps share it in their networks—although that’s not mandatory. It is a nice way to link to the blogs you enjoy.
9. Interview a blogger who inspires you. Do a written question and answer format if you are unable to do a live interview. Ask fun questions.
10. Choose five favorite blog posts you’ve learned from and compile them into a post, linking to the blogs with a brief summary about each post. Great way to introduce your readers to new blogs while sharing valuable info with them. Cool way to connect, too!
11. Describe how you would decorate your home if money was not an object
12. Write a frequently-asked-questions (FAQ) post.
13. On social media? Of course, you are. Run along your news stream and pick up questions to answer. Link to the person asking the question.
14. How about a “top ten” from your blog around a particular category?
15. Write a how-to or a how not to post. Inject humor into your posts. Pobody’s nerfect, you know.
16. “What I learned from…” Fill in that blank and make it fun!
17. Had a problem and found a solution? Share it with your readers.
18. Learned something new? Share it with your readers. Be descriptive. What did you learn? How did it help you?
19. Write a kickass product review of a product you loved.
20. Watched a movie recently? Review it. Ask your readers about their favorite movie.
21. Find The Best Jokes In Your Niche. Research or create jokes related to your industry. Give readers the gift of laughter.
22. Write a series post on something you are passionate about.
