I’m not sure I can do it. Not sure what possessed me to try. Well, actually I do. The Ultimate Blog Challenge for July. But for the month of July, I  am going to post every day. Even weekends. That is thirty-one posts. I actually only have to do thirty according to the rules, but I am going for every day. What’s one more? This one is kind of a cheat, huh? I mean I am using a post to tell you I am going to be posting. And tomorrow is kind of a cheat as well because I have a guest blogger, author Sam Cheever. But I still had to do a lot of that post. So beyond today and tomorrow, I’m not sure what I will do. It can’t be that hard, can it? I follow a couple of bloggers that not only post every single day, they post several times a day. After a couple of emails saying there is a new post, my email filter starts sending them to spam. Seriously. I don’t know where they find the time. Or the ideas. I know I am at a loss for them. Besides today and tomorrow. I suppose there will be the usual posts about books I’ve read. I read a book a day, usually. So that should make this easy. But I read series and I don’t blog until I’ve finished a series. Note to self: dump series for a month. I don’t have any other guest bloggers or author interviews scheduled in July. Yet. If you have a book out, or coming out soon, email me and either I will interview you or you can do a guest post. I’m sure some posts will be serious and some will be silly. Some long and some short. I can always post some of my recipes. They are always popular. Then again, I can tell you stupid stories about the incredibly stupid things I do. Like back in June when I posted about maps and getting lost. Now there is an idea. I could post every day of the year if the topic was stupid things I do or have done. My husband will have plenty of suggestions about that. He’s a funny guy anyway, and can really tell a story, but since meeting me, he has never been at a loss for material. He starts more conversations with, “You won’t believe what my wife did now…” My birthday is this month so I will even have to post that day. If I make it until then. Wish me luck, this may be a very bumpy ride.
