255 - An Act of Heresy
Day 255. I have to admit that this Daily Create project has really caused me to spend less time on my main blog. I'm ok with that, although I do miss taking the time so sit and write whatever is on my mind over there. I do think that writing long form blog posts is still a creative act so I'm cross posting a link here to my main blog to a post I wrote today and claiming it as today's daily create..

061 - Research Strategies for Senior Students
Day 61. As well as this blog, I also maintain my main blog over at www.chrisbetcher.com. I don't write on that blog as much as I used to, but when I do, I try to write something of some substance. The writing there is just as much a creative act as anything I do here, which is why I think it's fair enough to include blog posts from there as daily creates over here.
So for today's daily create, head over to Betchablog and check out the post about senior research strategies (and if you read the comments, my indignant outrage at the paywall approach to selling other people's content that is freely available online)

001 - This Blog
Welcome to my Daily Create project for 2014.
I've done a couple of "project 365" photo challenges over the last couple of years and have generally quite enjoyed doing them. I like the idea of challenging myself to have the discipline to do something every day for a year, and although taking a daily photo is fun, I thought it might be interesting to expand on that idea a little. I wondered what else I might do every day for a year instead of just taking a photo.
So I asked for some advice on Twitter on what else might be good to do and I got lots of interesting suggestions. Thanks to everyone who offered an idea.
In the end I decided to try and just do a "daily create". Make something every day for a year... it could be writing, a drawing, a painting, a song, a poem, a story, a blog post, a screencast, a video (and yes, I'm sure there will still be lots of photos). It could be a new recipe, a dance, an idea, anything... so long as I can make something new exist each day and somehow document it here on this blog.
Life should be an ongoing act of daily creation.
Each creative thing might be something born digital, but it could also be a real physical thing too. The important thing is that every day for a year I make SOMETHING. It's open ended. I could learn to do something, make something, be something. I can use whatever tools and processes I like. I'm pretty lazy so I'm planning on coming up with some ways to automate the process with things like IFTTT and other digital workflows.
It should be interesting and a bit of fun.
Today is Day 001 and I've created this blog to act as the container for the next 364 things. As always, on this and every subsequent post, your comments are very welcome (and are what provide some of the motivation to continue with a project like this!)
Ok... let's do this!
