The first time I heard about Blog Ahead was last year, just before it started in October. I was intrigued, and wanted to challenge myself, so I participated by adapting a YA Lit Meme<\/a> to suit my purposes.<\/p>\n

I surprised myself by completing it. I’m not going to lie, I honestly thought I would give up half-way through the challenge and abandon the meme – but I didn’t. I persevered, I created edits and found quotes that resonated with me, and I didn’t just complete Blog Ahead 2015, I also completed my first ever Meme. Though, admittedly, it took me a long while to make that last edit. I’m lazy sometimes, and I’m a very big procrastinator.<\/p>\n

But I completed it, and now, I’m putting myself in that position again. This time, instead of creating a month’s worth of posts, the challenge is to create at least 15 new scheduled posts between May 1 and May 15. Not only does this challenge me to come up with content for this new blog, I’m giving myself a whole other challenge – I am not allowing myself to use any of the content I’ve already posted on my tumblr book blog<\/a>, whether or not I plan to slowly transfer them here.<\/p>\n

All new content, that’s the challenge.<\/p>\n
