May Challenges – here they are

It’s May.

That means a new month and of course that means a new challenge! Yeah!

As some of you know, I’m going to continue doing the One Hour a Day or Die exercise challenge for May. Yup, one hour of moderate exercise a day, every day – just to maintain my current weight (or so says the American Medical Association).

But I needed a new challenge for the month (besides trying new recipes, and sharing more stories about our chickens).

And that’s when it occurred to me. I have the perfect challenge which sort of ties in everything. I’ve been working on a chicken-story manuscript but as we all know, what with kids, soccer, life, writing assignments, and one hour of exercise a day – things can get lost.

I'm gonna finish me a manuscript

Well not in the month of May. My new challenge is going to be this:

To finish writing and editing my chicken manuscript, to write the proposal and then to get this baby out to agents all by the end of the month.

I certainly have enough material and its something that’s been sitting on the back burner for far too long.

There I said it. Now I just have to do it (and trust me on this one, if it is doable, I’ll do it.) I’ll be updating you on the progress along the way.

So for those of you who need a guide (me): this is how my posts will look for May:

Monday – Little Chicken book update
Tuesday – Project Chickens before the Eggs – stories
Wednesday – family/recipes
Thursday – Project Chickens before the Eggs – stories
Friday – One Hour a day or Die update

And with the posting of this, I’m off.
