“Trust 30″ Writing Challenge
Seth Godin and the team at The Domino Project are initiating a 30-day writing challenge they are calling Trust 30. The challenge is inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson and his 208th birthday. Last week the folks at The Domino Project offered a free Kindle version of Emerson’s seminal essay, “Self-Reliance.” This week, they are kicking the “Trust 30″ challenge.
Rather than try to describe the challenge to you, let me steal it directly from their website:
#Trust30 is an online initiative and 30-day writing challenge that encourages you to look within and trust yourself. Use this as an opportunity to reflect on your now, and to create direction for your future. 30 prompts from inspiring thought-leaders will guide you on your writing journey.
The Inspiration
To celebrate Emerson’s 208th birthday, The Domino Project is republishing a work of art that’s especially relevant today. Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson urges readers to trust their intuition rather than conforming to the will of the majority.
The Pledge Details
- The #Trust30 challenge starts at 6am ET on May 31st and runs for 30 days.
- Each day we’ll post a prompt from an original thinker and doer on RalphWaldoEmerson.me. You can also sign-up for daily emails.
- Fill out the short form below to commit to participating in the #trust30 online initiative.
- Blog, journal, or create something on each of the 30 days.
Tweet using the hashtag #trust30 to show your support and involvement.
Beginning today and running for the nerxt 30 days, I will be writing a blog post inspired by the daily prompt. I’ll also be notifying everyone of the new post via Facebook, and if I feel especially ambitious, I’ll also tweet about the next blog post.
As always, thanks for following along and be sure to let me know what you think.
