postaday – Curtis Writes Books

I’m excited about the next seven days. I am rebuilding my reading habit, and I’ve invited other people to do so over Instagram, Twitter, and WordPress.

The 7-Day Reading challenge is attracting a variety of readers, and it is my hope that we will have a reading community that bubbles with enthusiasm.

Over the next week, I urge you to participate in the 7-Day Reading Challenge. Here are the rules:

Read every day for 20 minutes, for seven days.
Post about what you read on Instagram, Twitter, or your blog, using the hashtag #ReadWithCurtis.

Feel free to post this image on your blog or other social media for others to know about the event:

My Role in the Challenge

I am both hosting and participating in this event through my PaperPalacesBlog.com, Instagram, and Twitter. In addition to the two rules outlined above, I have offered tips and guidelines to use throughout the week.

I will post my own responses via Instagram, Twitter, and WordPress, including daily tasks, bonus challenges, polls, and questions for those of you who want a more interaction and more challenge.

You can connect with me via Instagram (@CurtisWritesBooks) and Twitter (@staghorncrown).

Here are the bonus themes for each day at a glance.

You can use them or completely ignore them. This reading challenge works for so many people because of its versatility. Make it your own!

Monday: How did you start your week of reading?
Tuesday: What has gone well so far? What’s next?
Wednesday: What resonates with you from your reading?
Thursday: The Strangest Thing You Have Read
Friday: Connect With Another Reader
Saturday: Binge Read or Taste Books
Sunday: Reconnect with Yourself. How did the challenge go?

Remember to use the hashtag #ReadWithCurtis so we can see what you are reading!

What can I do today?

Since it is the day before the challenge, there is no official prompt. However, if you are moved to write a post, snap a picture of a book, or share an article via Twitter, feel free to start early!

For example, here’s a picture of a stack of books I may choose from this week:

I hope to see you participating!

WP Prompt: Bubble

From May 7th – May 14th, you are welcome to participate in a simple reading and posting challenge. If you’re a blogger on WordPress, or a bookworm that loves Instagram and Twitter, you should consider taking the challenge. Start early, on time, or after the official days. Your seven days are up to you. I will post during the official dates on Instagram and WordPress using the hashtag #ReadWithCurtis.

Visit PaperPalacesBlog.com for details on the 7-day Reading Challenge. Daily challenges start on May 7th, 2018.

Reason # 1 – Building or Strengthening a Habit

Participating in the challenge may help you build a consistent reading habit, or at the least, strengthen your current reading habit. By setting aside 20 minutes of reading time a day, you are starting a simple reading habit that can last a lifetime.

Reason # 2 – An Opportunity to Connect

Participating in the challenge will give you the opportunity to connect with other people on what you read. I have invited a few online friends and people in my life to join the challenge, and I hope you do the same. It’s fun to see what people read and share.

Reason # 3 – It’s fun!

Participating in the challenge is simply fun. Whether you are reading articles, a single book, or a variety of texts, you are bound to have fun sharing what you enjoy. Reading is an unbelievably stimulating activity, and sharing what you read, no matter what form, can be a gratifying process.
