Step 1: Post on Facebook

I'm going to write three books in three months and blog about it like an asshole.

Step 1: Post on Facebook (.5 hours to write, ~2 hours to stop freaking out and post)

I have one glaring weakness when it comes to my writing- I'm terrified of putting it out there and sharing it, especially online.

So, basically, in the spirit of bull tackling my last great neuroses (I think. Probably have a couple dozen more) I'm going to dedicate the next three months to writing (and finishing) three novels, and I'm going to put it all out there- on the social media, on a blog, all of it damn you- and I'm going to blog about how to blog.

Like an asshole.

I don't know how to do this thing. Sharing. Wattpadding. All the Mediums and the self-branding. Getting up on a virtual soap box scares the shit out of me because yesterday someone on my wall posted a family photo and they got 93 likes and several loves. What's this post going to get? 8 likes? Eight people like me? THATS IT?

I don't know if I can handle it.

Aside from blogging about blogging, self-publishing, writing and learning how to social, I'll also be putting out content- short stories, some poems, bits of the novels, because if you know me, you know I kind of have a backlog of stories I don't really share.

Also, I'm turning thirty in three months. Totally no connection to the desperate need to accomplish some shit.

Hence the title. Also, let's make the deadline December 30th.

Also here's a short story about a Tweeter (~1200 words / 4-5 mins to read)

All of this scares the hell out of me and I suppose in a way I'm asking for support. I'm not sure what kind, not yet. Maybe to just put up with it all- the constant posting, the rambling, the Emperor Without Clothes stick myself out there thing. Laugh quietly and roll your eyes in private.

Throughout the blogging, I'll post about what I've learned. So that If I can go from near-zero to visible with my creative work, then maybe you can too
