#1000WordsofSummer, a writing challenge that I have been participating in for the last 14 days. The idea is to write 1000 words every day as a way to get into the writing groove, get back to it or challenge yourself in some new way with your daily writing practice. (That last one is me.) So while I am horrible with writing deadlines (I'm just starting to udnerstand this, thanks to Becca Syme's Gallup Strengths for Writers work), I am HIGHLY competitive. Generally with myself but watch out! Just kidding! Kind of.

Competition motivates me. I've never known this about me. A leaderboard, a contest, a bet, these challenges motivate the hell out of me. And don’t get me going with sales goals! Yes and YES. My husband and I have an ongoing joke about this. He's the least competitive person I know and I’m the most competitive person he knows.
And what about you? How competitive are you? And how do you know? Leave a comment below.
Competitive? Me? Very! Age has slowed that down a bit. I am most competitive with me! I think part of that stems from being a perfectionist , which can be tiring at times for myself and those closest to me. I have always strived to win at cards, sports and other areas of my life. I m not a sore looser, but I sure don’t like it!
You and I are birds of a feather on this one, June! I'm most competitive with myself but I also HATE losing at games, etc. Hadn't thought about the perfectionist angle with this though! Very interesting.
