Week Three Progress in 100 Hubs in 30 Days Challenge
68After I finished the 30 Hubs in 30 Days Challenge, I decided to participate in the 100 Days Challenge. I have completed week one and week two of the challenge, and am entering the third week. This hub reports my progress during the third week. So far in the challenge, I have finished 34 hubs, which leaves 66 hubs left to finish in the final two weeks. Is it possible for me to catch up? Stay tuned!

Tuesday: Day Fifteen
I've been wanting to write about investments for a while now, and am finally getting to it. There is so much I want to explain, and it seems like I am going around and around about which should be explained first. Finally, I have decided that I will just start, and when I am done, I can go back and link the hubs to each other, once all the hubs are written. They probably won't be read in the order they were written anyway, and just getting the hubs out there is more important than the order.
I feel pretty good today. I only wrote three hubs, but I think they were all good ones.

Wednesday: Day Sixteen
I kept waking up last night with ideas for new hubs. I am glad that I keep getting ideas, but it would have been nicer to be able to sleep, and have the ideas in the daytime. Besides, some of the ideas were reruns!
I've been having computer trouble today - the internet connection is really slow, and publishing a hub freezes up. When I move away from the page, it looks like it has already been published. Hopefully everything is as it should be.
I did get four hubs published, and several others started. I have no doubts that I will be able to publish 100 hubs, my doubts are whether I will be able to publish 100 hubs by the deadline. I am 40% done!

Thursday: Day Seventeen
Happy Thanksgiving! I am finishing up some hubs I created earlier in the week, since I probably won't have much time to make any from start to finish, or to create new ones.
Yes I am writing hubs on Thanksgiving day. Because some of our family members are going to be with their in-laws, we are having our big celebration on the weekend.
Today's meal will still be special, and a smaller celebration will still take place.
I am really happy that I thought of the photo tour of the weaving class. I was going to try to teach you some things about weaving, but I am very much a beginner, and would likely be steering you in the wrong direction. Since I don't know all the parts of a loom by name yet, I wouldn't be able to properly share the facts I have learned.

Friday: Day Eighteen
I had more energy to work on hubs yesterday than I do today. It is exciting to see the numbers rising. It seems strange to have hub numbers that are in the forties for this challenge.
Readership went up today. It is a relief to see some red arrows after nothing but blue arrows yesterday.
I am making great progress, having finished my 48th hub today. I really would love to get 100 hubs in 30 days. In looking around, I haven't found anyone who has actually accomplished that goal, and I would love to be first. Or at least one of the few.
Saturday: Day Nineteen
Even though I started a couple of hubs, and shared some links, I did not publish any hubs today. So much for all the progress I have been making this week. It is already almost the end of week three and I am not even at 50% of my goal.
My readership dropped dramatically, which is disappointing since I have so many hubs written already.
Day Twenty
- How to Recover From Financial Setbacks

Readership is still down, but it is the weekend, and it usually goes down on the weekends. Hopefully it will catch up during the week.

Monday: Day Twenty-One
It's the last day of week three and I am at the halfway point in terms of number of hubs. I finally got to 50 hubs! It seems like it happened so fast, even though it felt like I would never make it while I was writing the hubs. It seems like such a big number, and I am proud to have this many done, even if it is so far short of my goal.
Summary of Week Three Progress
I have finished more than 50 hubs in the 100 hubs in 30 days challenge. I am happy with that accomplishment, but really would have liked to finish 100. Hopefully this coming week will find me more productive.
I am still shooting for the 100 goal, but trying to be realistic, and manage expectations. If I get 60 hubs completed, that will be two hubs a week, which is pretty good. I think if I can get 100 hubs completed by the end of the challenge, even though 30 of them were written in the previous week I will be even happier. Did I say I would write 100 hubs in 30 days or did I say I would have 100 hubs written in 30 days. I'm going to go find some loopholes!

You are AMAZING! I will stick with the 30/30 because I've completed one round back in September, and I'm comfortable with my schedule of meeting my goal. The problem is, after I'm done writing a Hub, I move on. When I wrote to meet the deadline, that's all I did. Write. I didn't pay much attention to quality. So I let all these Hubs pile up. Need to go back and edit if and when I ever have the time.
100 in 30 is unrealistic i finished the 30 in 30 now I am on 15 in 2 weeks challenge.good luck to everyone entering challenges.
I wish you Good Luck on your challenge, looking forward to read all hubs that you gonna write as part of your challenge :)
Great update! Good luck again my friend.. :)
I like your updates as you track your progress. It will keep people motivated in the future as they follow your progress when you first started writing.
Well, you wrote these hubs back a few months ago right? And I read them now, so that got me motivated, so they are already helping a person "in the future" since you wrote these in the past...LOL...not sure you got that but I know what I mean!
Thank you it is going more funny.
