Completing the 30 Hubs in 30 Days Challenge

March 12, 2010

Thirty days ago I accepted a challenge from fellow Hubber Darlene Sabella to write and publish 30 Hubs in 30 Days.

With some trepidation I accepted. As I stated in a Hub that I published on the fifth day of the Challenge, I was concerned about having enough time to write that many Hubs that fast as I was busy with other projects and work.

Since I had already accepted the Challenge, I didn't feel I could back out but also didn't want to fail at this. So, I decided to get my family to help me.

That left our little chihuahua, Chika as my only other option for help. Of course she agreed to help me as I am the one who feeds her. So, Chika became my assistant for the 30 Day Challenge.

Since I began the Challenge with my Hub entitled Honoring Dogs During Chinese New Year Festival with Chika posing for the pictures in that Hub.

It has been quite a month as I have been writing and publishing at a furious pace.

Chika, meanwhile, has been enjoying all of the praise she has been receiving, in the Comments section of the Hubs I have published, for her writing!

However, it has been fun working with Chika.

She looks very professional sitting in front of a computer even though she doesn't have a clue as to what to do with it.

But, as I said in some of my previous Hubs, what Chika lacks in writing skills she more than makes up in modeling skills.

So, while I have been writing, Chika has been entertaining everyone with her pictures.

Well, this evening the thirty days are up and this is my 30th Hub, and I no longer need an assistant.

So, Chika and I ended our publishing relationship. Chika gave me her letter of resignation, and I paid her for her help.

We then celebrated with some pizza and Guinness Stout (St. Patrick's Day is only 5 days away).

I plan on spending the weekend relaxing with my wife and Chika has already taken off to her tropical hideaway to unwind.
