A-mbitious

What is it?  It’s a word that means something like “totally crazy chick who is always doing extreme things like this A-Z blog challenge thing.”

I’ve always been a bit inclined to be overly ambitious.  In school, I’d get a new PACE (workbook like thing that was 1/12 my year’s work in a subject) and I’d decide to get it done over the weekend even though it had forty-three pages.  Yeah.  And I’d do it too.  Just because I could.

When a friend pointed out NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) to me, I was intrigued.  Could I write fifty thousand (50,000 words!!!) in thirty days?  It seemed impossible.  Then I did the math.  1,667 words per day.  I did that most days–just not on one book.  I tend to be ADD with my writing as my friends can well attest.

“Ok, so you know how Chessie got in that car accident?”
“Wait, I thought we were talking about Alexa?”
“We were; now we’re talking about Chessie.  I just had a great idea.”

And so it goes.

Well, the other day I found out that there is another contest.  Get this– a novel in three days.  THREE DAYS.  Yes, suddenly I want to move to a hotel room for Labor Day weekend and see if I can do it.  Then again, it looks like they shoot for about 100 pages.  That’s pretty simple stuff, really, but still. Why not?

So, when I saw A-Z of blogging, well… I had to do it.  I know, what’s so ambitious about writing a couple hundred words 30 times in a row on a blog?  Right?  Um, I’ll tell you.  I’m doing it over at Paradoxology too.  That’s what is ambitious for me.  TWO?  Am I nuts?  Yep.  Yes I am.

So, I hope you’ll come around this month.  I may even have a few giveaways to keep things interesting!  So, stop in, say howdy, you never know when that howdy will get you a book, or a gift card, or just a “thanks a lot for stopping by.”
