From today, I'm going to try the 30 Day Writing Challenge in my blog in an effort to be more committed to writing. It's not easy to write. There are plenty of obstacles that come with it like fear and lack of confidence. Fear that the quality of the piece of writing is not going to be satisfying and beating yourself about it. Well, at least I tend to face these problems. Also, writing requires a lot of stamina. I tend to get mentally tired after writing for some time, leaving me almost brain-dead but I try to pull through regardless.
I easily got the challenge from googling it. However, I'm going to change some of the writing prompts cos I find some to be quite personal.
Anyway, let's proceed with the writing challenge ^^
-
I don't know for anyone else but for me, it's hard to be happy these days. It's hard because there are university deadlines to meet and exams to prepare for. Not to mention, poor time management and procrastination would lead to delaying the assignment till the last minute which in turn leads to poor quality of work which consequently leads to dissatisfaction with oneself.
THAT ASIDE.
I'll start on listing 10 things that make me really happy since that is the point of this prompt lol
(1) Eating delicious food - To put it simply, I LOVE TO EAT. I appreciate food as long as they are edible to my standards and does not consist of excessive vegetables. I lighten up whenever I get the chance to eat delicious food. My favourite is Tom Yam noodles. Some people see food as a necessity. I see food as a privilege that we should not take for granted.
(2) Going out with family - Most of the time, whenever there is a chance, I go out with my family. The thing about going out with my family is that we can stay out for as long as we want and I just have to follow my parents' lead unless I have to take charge when it comes to situations where we have to navigate to a new place. My parents are not well-versed in technology so they don't know how to use the GPS well so they count on me to properly lead us to our destination and it makes me happy to be able to do something useful and helpful to my family.
(3) Spending quality time with close friends - This goes on without saying. Friends are the diamonds that sparkle during your every darkness. True friends are the ones who stick by you through thick and thing. True friends are the ones who have seen us in our best and worst. Having these kind of friends makes you stronger and want to try harder in life. I feel thankful for my friends! ^^
(4) Reading comments on my stories - Other than posting on a writing blog, I also publish stories in an another website. After I uploaded a chapter, I look forward to getting notifications about story comments. The hardship about being a freelance author is that readers tend to take your piece of writing that you spend hours and hours to perfect for granted. Most readers see you as a writing machine with no personal life. Even one sentence of a comment makes me happy. As long as it's not negative of course lol
(5) Accomplishing something - THIS so much. Having a sense of achievement makes me so happy such as successfully climbing to the summit of a hill and actually completing a thick novel. Accomplishing something raises my confidence levels and motivates me to do even more and better.
(6) Being productive - In this case, this applies to school matters. Actually completing my assignments on time with a decent quality of work makes me happy. Being productive also gives me a reason to rest and relax after spending so much effort completing an assignment.
(7) Buying new things - This should be self-explanatory haha
(8) Getting money - Money to spend on stuff. Who wouldn't be happy about receiving money?
(9) Listening to music while commuting - Thanks to the inventor of headphones, I am able to drown out the noise around me whenever I commute. And it makes me happy.
(10) Receiving gifts from others - Again, self-explanatory lol
Yay I manage to publish this before midnight (B2ST song lol) Anyway hopefully I can commit to this writing challenge!
