Last week, after a beautiful Tuesday evening meet up with a bunch of Perth bloggers who are heading off to the big Problogger event next week, my friend Jo and I were standing at an intersection in Leederville, watching the pedestrian light cycle through green about twenty times because we couldn’t stop talking.
Most of our chat was about our excitement about the pending Problogger experience although we did briefly complain that the plane trip(s) from Perth to the Gold Coast take a LONG time. But Jo and I are both pretty positive people, and when I mentioned that last year I wrote a crazy number of blog posts on my Problogger flights (yay for batching and no internet) we came up with the challenge:
Who can write the most blog posts on their way to Problogger?
Well, we Perth bloggers are definitely up for this challenge and have a big advantage of practically a whole day’s travel time in which to do it in. At least four of us are on the same flights and although we won’t sit together (hard to blog and talk, right) we will meet up in Sydney for a progress report.
But we’re prepared to find other non-Perth bloggers who can be even more productive than us, so we are issuing this challenge Australia-wide – make that worldwide – and we’re keen to hear just how many blog posts you can draft between your hometown and the Gold Coast.
If you’re going to be at Problogger this year, please feel free to take up our challenge – leave a comment here and tweet me (@amandakendle) with your progress report. The winner gets … lots of glory and a well-deserved blogging break thanks to getting a bunch of posts at least into a decent draft form!

Brilliant work can't wait to get on that flight, well two flights for us here in Perth so plenty of blogging time if our chargers can cope, as I draft on the iPad, don't forget we also have a waiting time between flights. So if we look a bit dazed on arrival you'll know why x see you soon #PBEVENT
Yay Rae, yes there might be a rush for powerpoints at the airport. Of course we can always revert to be a bit of old fashioned pen and paper if we are desperate. Can't wait!!!
Yay thanks Amanda! Challenge accepted! I will ensure I have multiple devices at the ready. 🙂
Yes multiple devices may prove vital, Kristy!
Awesome challenge…. and it was a great discussion in those 20 light changes! Bring on the blogs… although it will be a tad early!
Haha of course, we always have good discussions Jo! I'm used to getting up early so I'm thinking I've got an advantage on the blogging challenge front – we'll see though!
