Today's challenge should have been easy, and really, it's not very exciting. I decided that I would promote my project by tweeting to (hopefully) a larger audience. I chose a magazine, literary magazine, and Ignatian spirituality organization that I feel are connected to the goals of my project, and sent short tweets inviting them to follow the adventure.
HOW I LEFT MY COMFORT ZONE:
Sure, it's all fun and games when your best friend, roommates, and parents are reading about the project. But exposing my vulnerable and perhaps ridiculous quest to complete strangers is upping the ante. I am still questioning whether self-promotion of this sort is narcissistic or simply a welcome invitation to others who might enjoy the blog.
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY:
If a blog that showcases puddles in the shape of animals can get a book deal (okay, that hasn't quite happened, but it's really only a matter of time), then anything can. But tweeting about my project drove home the truth that my project's worth doesn't depend on how many readers or followers I have.
