I have thought about keeping up the one-post-a-day streak into September, but now that Fall classes are in full swing and I'm taking two to complete my residency, I don't think I'll have much time to keep it up every day. On the other hand, I feel that it's more likely that I'll post more often than my old once-a-month rate.
Today, it feels good to write voluntarily.
There are a couple of people in the office who have talked about starting their blogging streak in September. I hope they do. It certainly got me thinking about the work that I do, why I do it, and who it affects. So I'm passing the torch to them and we'll see who picks it up. If you're a day or two late, that's fine too. The point of doing something like this is not the ritual of making the once a day deadline, but what the challenge reveals.

I also thought about keeping it going, but in the end I felt like it was better to move into a more sane posting schedule. Like you, I'm taking classes and the time to really do this well just isn't there. Doing it for a month was well worth it and it did help me get some ideas straight. I've enjoyed reading our posts on a more regular basis and hope you do find time to share thoughts on a regular basis (just not every single day).
Without the pressure to write daily, I actually found it to be easier and more helpful to write today's post than some of the earlier ones. The habit is already there, so I may as well keep going.
