The 30 Day Challenge
Can a lazy bitch get a hoya
Three years ago when I started The Bitter Bitch, I didn’t really know what I was doing or what direction I wanted to go with it. I only knew that I wanted to write in my own voice with my own cadence without being limited by other people’s opinions and emotions. The big challenge that I faced back then was maintaining some semblance of anonymity. I remember how incredibly scary it was the first few weeks having all of my co-workers and bosses, guests and acquaintances, not only get to know me on that personal of a level but also for people to be able to critique not just the words but my capabilities as a writer. Fast forward a few years and its all old news. The scandal wore off fairly quick and now everyone knows what a sharp tongued asshole I really am.
I now feel fairly confident writing whatever I want. Nothing is too honest, nothing too filthy. Everything is on the board. But as much as I feel like I’m constantly working on this blog, daily in fact, I was surprised when someone approached me last week and said I needed to write some more posts because nothing was new. I was shocked. Aside from all the things that go into the inner workings of owning a website, I’ve been making a real effort to post one blog per category a week. One travel, one lifestyle, and one “dating”, which is usually just 500 words on how much I despise men. But pulling the blogs up from the perspective of a dedicated reader, I can definitely see how it looks like I’m just posting randomly whenever the mood strikes me. So, like I said before, I guess we’re just going to have to do better.
Today I decided to challenge myself and you guys as well. I’m going to start a 30 day challenge, as of today, to write a blog post every-fucking-day. Yes, everyday. But I’m not just doing this shit for my health; you motherfuckers better be reading them too. So today is Day 1 with the lifestyle blog. Check, check. Tuesdays and Thursdays are for travel: a guide, review, or some weird shit I encounter along the way. Fuckboy Fridays as usual for all the clown asses I encounter. Sipping Sundays is for restaurant or bar reviews or a super killer drink of the week, if I can ever fucking find another decent cocktail again. Mondays and Saturdays are a free for all. Maybe it’ll be dicks, maybe “5 things that Annoy My Existence”. I just don’t know, but what I can tell you is everyday I’m going to post something new on this blog. It will be hard. It will be challenging to be fresh hilarious and clever that many days in a row. But I’m confident I can do it.
So since I’m dragging my tits through the dirt for the next month, why don’t you guys join the club. Make some small change to your daily habit for the next month and see if it makes a difference. Quit fucking your ex, stop gambling your life savings, or simply substitute oat milk in your coffee, it’s up to you. But I feel like as much as we think we’re doing our best everyday, we really aren’t. And sometimes we need that little push, that extra motiviation, to break out of our trash ass routine and do a little bit better. Even 5% effort is better than no effort at all.
Moving forward: stop being a lazy bitch, make a small change, and drop a comment below to let me know you clowns are actually in it with me. Login to see what’s new on the daily with your favorite Bitter Bitch, and if you’re not already subscribed, stop being a twat and get on the list. Trust me, it’ll make stalking me a whole lot easier.
