I belong to the Phoenix Publishing and Book Marketing meet-up group, a collection of self-published writers who are hoping to learn how to successfully market their work. Our organizer/facilitator has challenged us to write one blog a day for 35 consecutive days. The successful blogger(s) won’t receive any prize, other than the admiration of their fellow writers, and possibly a sense of personal pride. Of course, one sure result will be exposure of our writing skills to the blog-reading public.

Believe it or not, I decided to accept the challenge. Starting today, Sunday, September 13, 2015, I will write a blog every day for 35 days. (Gasp!) I will be offering opinions and information on several topics––Performing (adventures with my comedy barbershop quartet), News Events (stories with a unique twist), Writing (what I’m learning about successful publishing), Aging (coping with getting older and/or being alone), Human Behavior (observations of functional and dysfunctional examples), and guest blogs or essays written by fellow writers and friends.

Some of the headlines I’m considering include: “Our Peachy Performance at The Perfect Pear,” “Are Underwear Bombs the New Black?” “But Can Sentences Start With a Conjunction?” “How To Be Arm Candy After Seventy,” and “The Art of Being Mediocre.”

At the conclusion of the 35-day blogging challenge, I hope that readers will have let me know by their comments which topic––or topics––should be the focus of my regular blog. After all, this is the age of specialization, and I’m afraid I may have become a “Jack of all trades.” You remember the rest of that adage: “…and master of none!”

So, dear readers, help me to meet this blog challenge by reading and commenting on my daily musings. For the next 35 days, “The Doctor is In!”
