January 2017 30 Days Writing Challenge - Reporting Day 30 And A Big "Congrats!" To All The Participants

---

A series of repetitive, conscious choices is eventually melting into a habit.

---

We did it! We actually wrote for 30 days, every day, on the Steemit blockchain. This is the last report of this challenge and I'm a bit emotional. I didn't expect the challenge to get so much support, to be honest. But I'm extremely happy it did.

Just a few thoughts before I will list the last day articles.

We generated more than 300 articles. That means around 10 articles per day. On a normal day, the total number of articles posted on Steemit is around 1000. That means the challenge accounted for 1% of ALL the articles in the network. 1%. It may not look as much, but it's a very important number. It means it takes only 99 more coordinated projects like this one, to give a meaningful and consistent direction to the content.

I'm not saying that right now there is no direction. On the contrary, there are many other very interesting initiatives, like the photo challenge, the cooking challenge or the creative writing challenge that will start in February. All I'm saying is that when we give more structure to an intention, it tends to get results faster and more consistently.

So, I will start another challenge in February, and I already posted about it a few days ago. I will publish another article today in which I will give the final indications.

Let's see the last day of the challenge articles:

This project is part of my witness activities here on Steemit. I think a witness should not only maintain the technical and economical components of the platform, but he should also get involved at a community level and improve as many processes as he can.

If you want to know more about the rules of the chalenge here's the introductory article. There are also a few tips to help you stay on the track.
