While I am pretty good at scheduling posts in advance, I think it’s always a good thing to have even more all ready to go, so when I noticed that Kimba @ Caffeinated Reviewer and Anna @ herding cats & burning soup are hosting Blog Ahead October 2015 challenge, I figured I should participate.
The purpose of the challenge, as well as the rules are simple:
Blog Ahead October 2015
- Who Can Join: Any blogger or author can join. Brand new, been around for years.Blogger, WordPress or other platform. Any heat level, genre or theme, etc. If you blog…you’re welcome to join!
- Types of Posts that Count: Any finished posts count! Meme, review, guest post, interview, discussion. Top Ten Posts, Favorites posts, Shopping Guide Posts, Cooking posts, pet posts, photo posts, etc. Posts do NOT have to be book related.
- Required: The post must be complete and scheduled from November 1, 2015 onward. (So not just blurb, buy links, etc for a review post. The review needs to be complete for the post to count.)
Sounds pretty simple, right? At the same time, adding posts for November and after in October will still be challenging in some ways, I’m sure.
I plan to blog ahead with 20 scheduled posts for November and after, all during the month of October, and the other posts I will have to post – as I don’t have October all filled up yet, I know some of the posts I write in October will be for the current month as well.
What are you waiting for? Are you going to participate as well?

I am also participating, just like you I have a few october posts still to write, so my goal is 10-20 posts for november and later. Ever since this challenge last year I’ve been doing good with staying ahead, but like you said having even more posts ready to go is a good thing.
I’m glad some of my blogger-friends are participating, Lola 🙂 And I’m sure we can both do it. I didn’t participate last year, but I really want to make sure some of my weekly posts are done a while in advance, and also some reviews for books with later release dates 🙂
I’m joining in too! I love this challenge and it really helped get me organised last year. I’ll probably only aim for 15 posts as like you I’ll be working on Oct too. But that is still a good help come Nov 🙂
YAY Trish! I’m glad to know it helped you get more organised last year 😀 I’m hoping I’ll have quite a few posts up for the holidays in December and January, so that I can have fun then 😀
I’m participating also. Last time, I had a family crisis and got very few posts done. I’m hoping to do better this time. Good luck!
I hope we’ll both do well this time, Bea 🙂
I NEED to sign up for this challenge. I don’t have anything scheduled for October yet, so yeah…I know some of my scheduled posts that month will be FOR October. At the same time, I want to get as much scheduled for November as I can to help me out as time goes on.
YAY, sign up, Lauren! I do have some reviews already scheduled for October, but no other posts – I think some of the memes I participate in can be scheduled in advance, it would be a big help!
I’m thinking of joining this challenge too, Lex. I am so behind on posts – especially review posts. I think I have almost 20 reviews that I need to get ready. :/ So this would be a good way to motivate myself to get those done. I’m glad you’re participating – we can cheer each other on! *BIG HUGS*
I think it’s a great challenge, Brandee, and I seem to always be a little behind when it comes to writing reviews 😀 It would be great to cheer each other on!!

It sounds pretty simple, but it is not . . . I guess we’re all struggling a bit with our review pile and various posts, huh? I’m usually very good at writing my posts in advance, but life happens and now I’m trying to get back on track properly. I honestly would want nothing more than having both October and November ready and set to go, so fingers crossed I can make it!
Good luck with the fantastic challenge, Lexxie 🙂
I know! Many times, I’m very good at being way ahead, and then suddenly… I’m not anymore 😀
I’m glad to have a challenge help me get back on track 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Silvia.
I tend to blog a few days ahead but I certainly couldn’t do a whole month ahead and still do the current month’s worth of posts – I wish you the very best of luck!
I am already scheduling November! I am pretty proud of that fact! Sounds like a good challenge though!
