How it felt? Excellent…
Until now, I never wrote and only seldom read about this kind of herbs, but their background is fascinating… And when my readers seem to like my next-week’s article about Salvia divinorum, I’ll possibly write more often about formerly neglected plants…

annetanne: Excellent. You kept the subject within your blog’s topic while still pushing the limits of what you know. So how was it? How did it feel to dig into new information and knowledge instead of just blogging what you know?

Combined with your recent ‘blog-struggles’-articles on maintaining focus, this was really was a challenge…
But I think I did it…
For my (Dutch) blog about herbs, I wrote an article (to be published next week) on Salvia divinorum, diviner’s sage. Although I know a lot about herbs, I know (I knew) next to nothing about entheogens… and now I know at least a tiny little bit more… without having scared away my readers with some unfocused chatter

@pelf:

I didn’t think there would be an issue with this. Nor how many ways people can come up with to get “credit” for a challenge that they are already doing.

There are no rewards for taking on these challenges except improving your blogging and yourself. If you think this qualifies, it’s up to you, not me. I only expect that if you decide to accept the challenge, you will share on your blog or here what you learned from the completed experience of blogging, and learning, about something you knew nothing about.

I didn’t know anything about breast cancer or how to perform a breast self exam, but I am blogging to create awareness on breast cancer in October. Err, does that count?
