Setting myself a challenge: A May Blogathon

Am I crazy?

I’ve signed up for the 2010 WordCount Blogathon in which bloggers commit to post every day during the month of May. Yes, that means at least 31 blog posts during the month of May.

I typically post 11 to 15 times a month. So I’ve got to double or triple my output. Yikes!

One of my survival techniques is to look at unfinished drafts. I’ve got 80+. Some of them must be worth finishing. 

Please let me know if there are topics you’d like me to address this month. A little outside inspiration would help.
