Day 31 of 31dbbb - plan the next steps for your blog, otherwise known as hatching the next batch of crazy

Day 31 of 31dbbb is plan the next steps for your blog.

I MUST share this site that I found reading through a newly-discovered thrifting/fashion blogger Spy Girl. She participates in International Fake Journal month through Roz Wound Up.  IFJM is described as follows:

What Is International Fake Journal Month?

Basically it’s a free pass to put anything in a journal that you might not otherwise put in. At least that’s one way to see it. From April first to April 30, you are encouraged to keep a fake journal different from, or outside of your regular visual journal.

Take on a new persona, alter ego, or be the same person you are now, except in an alternate universe. Maybe you are a cat person and always draw cats, well for April you’ll start a fake journal and just draw birds, with a passion, as if they were the most important animal on the planet. (You can of course continue drawing cats in your real journal, if it suits you.)

Maybe you want to live somewhere else? Well make a daily journal as if you are already there. It may mean that you’ll need to draw from your imagination a lot because things won’t be in front of you, but there are ways around that. Go to an antiques store or thrift shop and draw those items incorporated in a new reality. Or draw them as your daily drawing activity and make up stories about them.

Perhaps you are always working in pencil. Now is the time to become that artist who always works in pen, just go for it. Or if you are always image heavy in your journal, spend some time writing, pages and pages.

Why? because it’s fun, that’s why. And how often in life to you get a free, no guilt, no shame, just go for it pass on making things up (after the age of 3 of course)?

Here is my plan *rubs hands together with glee* combining IFJ posts with AtoZ Writing Challenge posts for the month of April.  Or, maybe just for the hellavit ...

Doable?  Oh yeah! WRITE ...
