Book Squirt

What’s Happening

I have a lot on my plate for April.

  1. I have to keep up with my normal life. The business, eating, sleep… that all has to happen.
  2. I’m attempting to get 20k words on my current WIP with April’s Camp NaNoWriMo. I’ve written about NaNoWriMo before, if you don’t know what that is. 🙂
  3. I’m also attempting the A to Z Blog Challenge.

This is what the creator has to say about the challenge:

“It all began with my post from Saturday March 27, 2010 when I set forth a challenge to all bloggers for the month of April.   Can you post every day except Sundays during this month?  And to up the bar, can you blog thematically from A to Z?

“Most of the time if you subtract Sundays from April, you then have 26 days–one day for each letter of the alphabet.  When April 1st lands on a Sunday you begin on that day which will be the only Sunday you would post during that month’s challenge. 

“Using this premise, you would start beginning April First with a topic themed on something with the letter A, then on April second another topic with the letter B as the theme, and so on until you finish on April thirtieth with the theme based on the letter Z.  It doesn’t even have to be a word–it can be a proper noun, the letter used as a symbol, or the letter itself.  The theme of the day is the letter scheduled for that day.”

For my posts, I’m going to highlight some of my favorite books, using the author’s last name. If I can’t come up with an author whose name begins with a certain letter, I’ll probably find a book that starts with that letter. 🙂

I’m also going to see if I can make each post approximately 100 words. I don’t know how that will go – I’ve never tried to do a word limit before.

Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with it all!

      Congrats on staying ahead with your word count! Snatched looks interesting And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cabin so far ahead. 😀

      Maybe we will! Do you write a lot?

        Mostly I like to write when some inspiration hits, but when I’m out of new books to read I’ll grab a pen 🙂
