Random 30-Day Blogging Challenge

I’ve decided to do a (completely random) 30-day blogging challenge. I know, it’s the middle of the month, and I’m supposed to do this in April (I think) when everybody else does it. Or, I’m supposed to wait until November and do 30 days of gratefulness instead. Well…

Whatever.

How does this tie in with my recent announcement that I’m taking a hiatus from writing? I’m not sure except to say that although it’s only been a couple of weeks since I announced my hiatus, I haven’t been writing regularly since January. Now that my daughter’s back in school, the days are awfully long. I need something to do. I need a reason to sit down at the computer and start typing. I’m not sure if or when I’ll be ready to write a book again, but I thought I could at least make my blog a bit more active. I googled “blogging challenge,” and found one to work with.

I’ve chosen this image as my guide.

I have no affiliation with the blog it originated on. I don’t know @fasyaulia. In fact, based on the first page or two, that blog isn’t even in English, so I have no idea what it says. But I suppose it doesn’t matter all that much. This is the list I’m using. Hopefully @fasyaulia doesn’t mind.

Also, even though it might violate the whole idea of the challenge, I reserve the right to switch to a completely different topic on any given day. My plan at this moment is to do book recommendations on days when the topic seems particularly tedious (like #8), or extraordinarily boring (like #10).

The actual posts will begin on September 12. Why the 12th? Because it’s a Monday. Why not just start today? Because I’ll be out of town Friday and Saturday, and I don’t want to start with a third and long. I figure this way, I can get a couple of posts ahead before they start going live.

If anybody’s interested in joining me in this random blogging challenge, let me know! Company is always good. I don’t care if you’re another author, or a reader, or both. It doesn’t matter if the majority of your blog is actually about knitting sweaters for French poodles. I’d still love to have some company.

I’ll add some random giveaways throughout the challenge to keep things fun. Not sure if anybody will even see these posts, since I’m not currently promoting on Twitter or Facebook, but if you happen to be reading, please comment often, even if it’s just to post a little
