 OK.  This is me again, on the back porch.  I'm doing this challenge because I would LOVE to be ahead by a month's worth of posts!  I've usually got a couple scheduled posts ready to go, but more of this definitely sounds better.  And, we are going to Texas for at least a week around Thanksgiving, so it would help not to have to be making posts from the road.

So, my goal is 31 posts dated November 1, 2015, or later.

I've got 7 draft posts going as we write, but of course, draft is not the same as scheduled.  Most of these are book review posts and some I have not yet received the books, so those will have to wait until I do a bit of reading.

Since I only found out about this challenge (where the heck have I been?) within the last hour, I don't really know specifically what kind of posts will comprise my 31, but they will be by majority book reviews...maybe a couple of interviews or guests posts.  And since I'm in my pre-birthday reflective period (my birthday is tomorrow...OMG now I feel old! *lol*), I'm sure there will be some posts about what I've decided to work on in my life over the next year.

Heading out to spread the word, join the FB group and get a laundry out of the dryer!

Question:  Is posting ahead (scheduling posts) something you do already or something you would like to do?  Or are you a 'pantser', which is to say fly-by-the-seat-of-your pants and do you work better planning a basic structure and then writing posts as you go?
