April is for Blogging Fools

April is here and for many bloggers, me for example, that means the A to Z Blogging Challenge at http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com. If you are particularly crazy, another challenge can be included too. So this month I will be attempting to write 2 posts every day, one for my personal blog and the other for my professional site.
I have the first week planned out for both my blog and site, more or less. I use some of the prompts from the NaBloPoMo section on BlogHer, but I’ve scrambled the days on which suggested topics or prompts are used into an A to Z list too.
The A to Z Challenge gives you Sunday off, and weekends are for free writing during NaBloPomo, so I may try to do the weekly GBE2 prompts during that weekend time.
I am also finishing up an eBook this month. Wish me luck!

    Writing posts for two blogs is a lot of work! I’m impressed that you’re taking on such a challenge. 🙂 I’m stopping by as an A to Z Challenge minion; it sounds like you’ve got some great topics lined up.

    I have this mixed feelings when I read about posting every day. I am committed to write a post every week, and I fear my self-imposed deadline every Thursday. I start working on my post on Monday. How can anybody decide to have a deadline every day? Here, comes the admiration. Will I have to post every day in the future? Here comes the fear.
    When you talk about having the whole week planned, do you mean planning to talk about a specific theme (the titles) and write each post entirely the day you publish OR do you go further and have written some ideas for each day?
    I guess my question is “how to you prepare for this challenge.”

      Do not try this at home! I have been working up to this and have some secrets tucked away… which I will share, eventually.

    Me, I haven’t admitted that I am blogging every day — less chance of public failure if no one knows.

          Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a world where we had content queued up and ready to go several days ahead of time?
