Now I've really done it.

I did it. I signed up for the April A-Z blogging challenge. I've been remiss about blogging to say the least, and I figure this high-octane push into the blogosphere will help me develop some better blogging habits or make me question my sanity. Maybe both. 
The challenge is simple. There are 30 days in April. If you take out Sundays, that leaves 26. There are 26 letters in the alphabet. For the challenge, each of the days, excluding Sunday, is assigned a letter. On each day you are to write a blog post whose theme has something to do with something starting with that letter.  
For ten years, bloggers have been taking on the challenge. A few years ago, I joined in by posting a poem each day of April (which also happens to be National Poetry Month). This time around, in hopes of keeping with the books and writing theme of my blog, I'll be posting book excerpts from my novels and stories. I hope you'll stop by now and again during the month.  I'm going to need all the support I can get  to meet the challenge!
