I always like to develop the habit of daily journaling, but I always don't have the persistence to do so. I just saw this 500 words a day challenge, created by Jeff Goins. I like the idea of 500 words a day.
I know I have been joining or creating too many challenges for myself. I am trying to find time to do what I really like to do. Perhaps 10 minutes a day for every activity I enjoy doing, or perhaps having a theme day in a week, say writing on Monday, doodling on Tuesday, painting on Wednesday... Well, I am still thinking of that. But if possible, I still like to write everyday. Hopefully I can spend 30 minutes a day to write.
I am planning to at least write on my daily journal, then 1 or 2 posts at Virily and myLot too. Besides finding time to write, I also need to find time to read and respond to others' discussions as well. I guess perhaps I should dedicate a theme day as "myLot day".
Do you have the habit of daily writing?

I agree with @HazySue and @thelme55. I do like to write almost every day but I don't like to pressure myself into a schedule. I feel I'm setting myself up for failure if I try a challenge. I don't post as much as I should, though. Sometimes the day can get away from me and I'm not online as much as I might like.

As much as possible, I want it my goal to write at myLot and Virily as often as possible. I have never thought of summing up the words, but maybe one of this day I will check on that.

@florelway, my friend, writer in Virily told me that seldom that site pays the writers. How true is this kabayan?

@cacay1 I have not reached the minimum payout of 10 dollars, but last month they had sent payouts. I think it takes sometime before they post your earnings. Mylot is still the most transparent and efficient when it comes to payment scheme.

That is great, you'll surely become an effective writer. Are you paid on those writing sprees?

I love to write and 500 words a day is a good start. They do things slow and build it up. I mostly like write 5000words here just answering other people's discussion. I love doing challenges. But, these days I busy and can't do them. I just don't have time.

Yes, I write pages and pages of journal entries each day. About 5 to 10 pages. I can fill up one notebook in a month. :) Good luck on your project!
