Great advice. Thanks Dave. Whilst I’ve today deviated from the plan a little, I can see the value in keeping these as themes. Should be a good help in organising things

Structure really helps long term.

When you get needing to write one kind of article, and want to write another kind of article, write what you want to write first, the article you’re supposed to write will follow along easily after that. And you get another article in the can.

Thanks Justin
I feel honoured tonight. This post was really meant to just be a quick introduction to the new structure and all of a sudden I’m surrounded by lots of my new challenge buddies. What’s going on? Did you all secretly meet and plan to hang out over here tonight? If you’d have warned me I could have made a cake

Seriously though, thanks for taking the time to visit and I appreciate your encouragement

Thanks Megan. Feel free to send over all the good stuff you like The benefit of this plan is that I can see which days should be lighter to put together and have organised it such that those posts requiring more research are spaced out evenly. Specifically, I anticipate Monday and Thursday posts will take longer to write but at least this way should help me plan better. It’s something I’ve learned from Carlos’ challenge. I didn’t quite get it all together at the time but this plan is thanks to what I learned earlier this month.

Thanks Carlos
These ideas seem to just keep popping in my head. I always said that Give A Brick was a God-given idea. Maybe He’s just honouring that and doing His bit to see His idea get noticed? I don’t really know but it’s all good fun. I could do with an extra few hours in the day though (or a Harry Potter style time-turner )
