B.E.D.A Day 30 - And So It Ends....

So today is the last day of B.E.D.A/V.E.D.A and seeing as this was the first time I had decided to attempt one of these challenges/events/whatevers I thought I might as well use the last post to talk about my feelings on this event and what it has meant to me. I learned of these type of events not long after joining Nerdfighteria and while I was intruigued at the idea itself, I was unsure as to whether I would be able to put the time or energy into such an event as I imagined my procrastination and general laziness would get in the way and prevent me from focusing myself into doing the necessary amount of writing each day for it to be considered a reasonable admission. However, I was happily proved wrong and was able to push myself past the point of apathy to write something meaningful. Admittedly I got a bit personal and ended up whinging about my own personal issues, but I have trouble talking about my feelings to other people, so expressing how I was feeling through text seemed a much easier avenue of release so I took as much advantage of it as I could.

While I would have liked to have had a little more confirmation that people were actually reading what I was writing through them answering the end of post questions I posed each day, I guess I just have to face facts that right now im not really important enough for people to waste their time replying to my silly little quibbles, which is fine, but still some commenting love would have been nice :) Ive also learnt alot about myself from these posts and what I have to do to focus and motivate myself into doing worthwhile things, so I guess in a way these posts were my way of doing my only little form of soul searching, just a lot more public than most people.

So overall im glad I did B.E.D.A and while I may not do something like this the next time around or at least will probably be more inclined to do some vlogging instead of blogging, I think it has been a worthwhile experiance and has taught me both about myself and how to go about improving my writing technique so that it actually makes more of a modicum of sense than it did before, something that will hopefully help in the future. Thank you if you have actually read these, I hope they have been informative, interesting or at least not too irritating, until next time, aveo amacus :)

Question: Did you do B.E.D.A? what did you learn?

  1. I did BEDA two years ago, it was so much fun :)
    I learnt that I CAN blog a lot if I push myself to. So that was good.

    I read your BEDA stuff, SO HAVE SOME COMMENT LOVE! :D (I know how stupid it makes you feel when you're blogging all the time and nobody EVER comments)
