Make a Lens a Day and Not Go Insane

Lens Writing Challenge for the Insane
Now it isn't like I need to work on becoming a Giant Squid or the 100 Club. This crazy spider is already there. Over and over I have told Bonnie that I need a break and would like to slow down. And yet I have been working on every challenge that comes in my direction. I didn't know I wanted to be a Giant Squid until I joined the JJJs Squid challenge group along with RocketMoms at the same time. Both had pushed me forward. This spider is a RocketMom, Big Sister (on RM), leader of a couple of groups and I have Bonnie and Robin to blame.
Thank you tagsforkids on photobucket.com for the art.

I am as crazy about Zazzle as I am about Squidoo. In fact, both have taken over my life! The first two lens challenges have past before making this challenge lensography. With that said, the first challenge was about "your first." Do you remember your first? I thought about my first time to Mackinac Island...Oh these pictures will make great Zazzle products.
So along the way in this 30 day challenge, which I may or may not make 30 lenses...any Zazzle products used of mine in these lenses will be shown here (and then some.)

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
The Latest From Our Mentor
Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
Amazon Price: $6.65 (as of 02/16/2012)![]()
A linchpin, as Seth describes it, is somebody in an organization who is indispensable, who cannot be replaced-her role is just far too unique and valuable. And then he goes on to say, well, seriously folks, you need to be one of these people, you really do. To not be one is economic and career suicide.

The Deal
I'm Not Going Insane

Deal Art Poster PRINT Dan Dipaolo 10x8
Here is the deal...I took a big break because of family matters. Now I can't get back into it. It isn't that I can't do a lens a day, it is that I chose not to go insane.
As it stands now, I have several emails that are in the thousands of messages.
My websites:

Embrace the Hill.com
Sandyspider.com (brand new and presently parked)
Keeping up my main Facebook page and three of my fan pages:

OK...I am insane!!!
Note: Whoever finishes the entire Lets Get Cracking Challenge without missing a lens...I will post it here!
How Well Did You Do?
Out of 30 days of lens writing I have done 12. The most that I have done without a break in between was.4 in a roll. In the plexo below add the URL to you profile page if you participated. But changed the text to your user name and within a 30 day challenge how many did you make and what was the max. in a roll. I will start it out.
After today, I will no longer count what number the lens challenge is. But if I add a lens that goes with the challenge of the day, it will be added here as a plexo.

- The problem with doing a lens a day is that after it's over I'm sooooo bored of it. I wouldn't make another for a month so I probably wouldn't gain much.

- You were smart to opt out of some days of the challenge. I think I've been neglecting a few things at home.

- No way could I make a lens in a day. Upload 100 of episodes of Old Time Radio, depending on the show, research, putting the lens together. I honestly don't think that a lens a day as far as I am concerned would be worth anything. Frankly it would be exhausting. So to all of you who have taken on the challenge I say good on you, go for it and good luck.

- I've set my goal as one lens a week; extras are bonus. I really think it is important to promote your lenses and to work in niches where possible and am determined to spend more time focused in those ways. Good luck to you!

- Sandy, as always, I love your lenses. I am cheering you on, but a lens a week was difficult enough for me, so I am not doing a lens a day. Please don't let it rob you of your sanity, we love you and need you around!
