Hi All,
On Facebook today, somebody shared this old video of a woman who went to the gym 100 times which George Takei had posted along with the question, "What would you like to do 100 times?"

Her video was part of a larger movement online called "Give it 100" which, as far as I can tell, is now defunct.
I really related to the way the woman felt at the beginning of the video - like that her friends had made some positive changes in their lives and that she was happy for them, but that she felt a little "stuck" in her own. Committing to working out 100 times helped her get unstuck, and I asked myself, "What could I do 100 times that might help me feel less stuck?" And my answer was getting back to some short story writing, which is a dream I've let fall by the wayside a million times.
So today I'm committing to working on my short stories for at least 30 minutes 100 times between now and January 15, 2018. I hope I reach my deadline before then, but I'm trying to be realistic. My work gets incredibly busy between mid-October and mid-December, and I've already committed to a family vacation for eight days between Christmas and New Year's, so I need to consider all that.
Anybody want to join in? As you can see, I'm hoping to start a monthly thread on this and am starting the September one a tiny bit early.
Anybody want to set a goal of doing something 100 times?
