Tomorrow the fun begins

Tomorrow the blogging fun begins. The first leading entry in "Follow the Leader"  is scheduled. I'm looking forward to reading and responding to the entries. Each time I enter the contest I think that I'm going to be more creative then the last time. I don't know whether I achieve that goal or not. I don't think I achieve it, but I'm way too critical of my own writing.

Actually I'm too critical of everything I do. I don't think that I do anything good enough. Sometimes I think that's part of my problem. If I could just accept that I'm doing the best I can at this moment in time then I would be less critical of myself. I know that improvement is always occurring, but I don't look at the little improvements. If I can't see that a big change has occurred then I don't think any change has occurred.

There are times when I'm less critical of myself then at other times. These are few and far between. I'm setting some goals for myself this time around. Not that achieving goals is my strong suite, I seem to have difficulty at that. However, I'm too stuborn to give up setting goals all together.

Have fun
Listen to my gut feeling when responding to the entries
Be creative
Read each leading entry twice before responding
Meditate on the leading entry before responding to it
Have fun (it helps when I repeat something)
Attempt to take a different approach to the entry
