Oct
This month I’m super excited to participate in the Blog
Ahead 2015 Challenge organized by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer and Herding Cats & Burning Soup. In the holiday season blogging can be very stressful.
Between buying gifts, preparing dinners, decorating the house, visiting family
and work, there probably won’t be as much time for making fun posts as normal.
So when the Blog Ahead 2015 Challenge came along I immediately decided to
participate.
The Challenge:
In the Blog Ahead Challenge the goal is to increase the number of
scheduled blog posts, so there will be much less stressing in the
holiday season. Every week from now till October 31st I will share a
post which tells you how I’m doing with my Challenge.
My Goal:
for October 31st is to have 36 scheduled posts. I think it probably is a little
too high, but I like a challenge. My posts will be everything you can think of
from reviews, Blog Tours, Sunday’s Author Spotlights, Top Tens etc.
Week 1:
* Five Things That Make Me Happy – November 6th
* Discussion Post: The Sunday’s Author Spotlight – November 9th
Week 2:
* Wednesday Favorites: The Next Breath – November 4th
* Five Things That Make Me Happy – November 6th

* Discussion Post: The Sunday’s Author Spotlight – November 9th

This week I’ve got another two posts ready for November. I’m still way behind the goal I set out in the beginning, but I’m still really happy with what I’ve reached so far. I’ll keep working on posts this week but I’ve let go of my goal of 36 posts. I’m just happy with whatever I get done.
Although I haven’t done as much as I wanted, I love being busy with planning and making posts. I definitely feel like this challenge helped me get ahead of things and I hope I can keep up the work.

I think every post you get done is a win and 5 posts is a whole week of blogging that you don't need to worry about. So that's great! And there is NEVER enough time for blogging, right!
Your absolutely right. I'm probably to hard on myself.. but I just wish I could have done more.
And I also don't think I would ever have enough time for blogging.. but I keep hoping. 😉
Yay! You're doing awesome, Maureen! I'm so glad you're enjoying it 😀
Thank you Anna 😀
