Blog Every Day April (BEDA)

Maureen Johnson, a fantastic author and all-around awesome person, was recently struck by this idea while shampooing her hair. She then posted it to Twitter, saying she was getting ready for Blog Every Day April, not realizing it sounded like an official sort of thing. THEN, hundreds (ok, I made that up, but many) of us who follow her on Twitter, decided to jump on the bandwagon. Now, I'm not usually a fan of bandwagons (like everyone pretending they always liked the Rockies when they made it to the World Series. Ew.), but this one seemed worthy of a leap.

So, taken from MJ's blog:

THE RULES OF BLOG EVERY DAY APRIL (BEDA)

1. Blog every day in April.

THE BLOG EVERY DAY IN APRIL MANIFESTO

I commit to this idea and am determined to create something EVERY DAY in April, including weekends. Every day, I will find something to say. I embrace the reality that there is always something to talk about, if you are willing to take the time to look for it.

I, Lindsay Ballantyne, promise to blog every day in April.

For more information, and much more exciting writing, check out Maureen's blog, twitter, and website.


I'm sorry, you're getting way more of me than you'd ever want or need. You know who to blame. If you have any ideas/requests for what I should blog about, let me know. I'm sure I'll need the help.

Oh, and I'm posting this at midnight because the news basically scared the crap out of me that my identity is gonna get stolen and a laser is going to attack and fry my hard drive tomorrow.

I think all I have left to say is...

VIVA LA BEDA!
