“I got this!”

That’s what we tell ourselves when partaking in InkTober.
It’s a tough haul. It’s not just a drawing done every day. It is then the scanning, resizing and clean up of that drawing, creating naming conventions, writing a blog post, and posting to various online platforms; my blog, Instagram, and Facebook.

So here are the steps:

• draw the image
• scan the image
• clean the image
• write the naming convention for file saving
• save the image – five times in various formats and titles
• write and edit the blog
• upload the image and post to the blog
• take another image of that image as a large file for Instagram and modify it a square size requirements and contast
• create the hashtag requirements for Instagram
• upload image and post to Instagram
• Then on to Facebook…write a short post linking to the blog post on my website and upload the image
• And when I have about six images I write another short post on my personal page with an selected image of the six images from Instagram and offer links back to my blog, Instagram and Facebook page
• And then repeat daily through the month of October

This is why we tell ourselves, “I got this!” Because it is a task and half! And it is worth all of this effort. And I do it yearly.
