At the peak of 30 Hubs in 30 days challenge when.....

Updated on December 5, 2010

Tired computer

Your laptop just stopped working

and beginning to show instructions that you don't understand. All you understood is Windows can't start up normally and this is the only thing that you were able to see

The verification of a known dll failed. System process terminated unexpectedly with a Status of OIC00012F (OX886d9f28 0x 00000000)

At the height of your momentum trying to complete your 30 Hubs in 30 days, with only a week before the deadline, the one that you expect to help you get through with it suddenly broke down....

Don't lose hope

I started the challenge on November 11 and expected to end it by December 10. Though I will only need 8 more hubs to complete my 30, I know I only have 4 days to do the rest but my laptop gave in to the pressure... I don't want to lose myself in the goal so I tried the traditional way of writing my article, through my notebooks and pen, then started to outline my potential hubs one by one..

first thing I did when I came to the office was to seek help from our IT personnel, He is now checking my Laptop and I am praying that nothing serious is wrong with it.. For the meantime I started encoding some of my hubs using my  computer in the office during my breaktime.

Best Effort

Empower yourself by checking your "My Account" where you can see all the hubs you posted and how they are starting to rise in traffic. This will inspire you to do your best effort but don't forget that you have other things to do like your "real" jobs, your monthly submission to a pet magazine, your pets your household chores. Don't let hubpages scare the hell out of you, meaning if you have done all the possible ways to complete your hubs but time is not at your side, then just accept that this is  just not your time yet,  but you always have a chance, and having submitted 28 hubs in 30 days was not really that bad. Not all people are capable of that though, in hubpages that's ordinary...

Relax and Cool yourself

 Whether you achieve your goal or not, always look at thebriighter side that while on your way to complete your goal, you are also learning to improve your writing skils, to sharpen  your manner of thinking, learn to write substantial hubs  in spite of limited time, work underpressure etc. etc.... Writing is your passion, Ideally it should be your other source of joy.

At the end of this hub

 I hope it also empowers you the way I used it to empower myself... As of  writing this, I am still waiting for my Laptop computer and I can't guarantee if I can make to the 30 Hubs in 30 days challenge. I  just hope nothing serious is wrong with my laptop.... I am  missing it already
