NaBloPoMo - or - Scared Wordless

I've just signed on to National (really, it's beyond merely the States) Blog Posting Month or, NaBloPoMo. It's a challenge to push bloggers to write an entry every single day for a month. Those who meet the challenge successfully are entered in a draw for small prizes, as an added incentive. Why did I sign up for this? I think because I read "Do something that scares you every day." on someone's Lululemon bag yesterday and I decided to take it literally.

What, in the day-to-day, would scare the willies out of me? The obvious things are bungee jumping, ski jumping, luge, surfing, tornado chasing, etc. Not exactly the "day-to-day" I had in mind. But what of the smaller, subtler things? Like: talking to a gorgeous stranger or a famous person. Dancing alone in a public square. Eating oxtongue. Or blogging every bloody day for a month. Or commenting on a new blog every day for a month. Or actually sending out my performing resume. And preparing for auditions that may or may not come. Or starting a new one-person show. YIKES!

I suppose if it doesn't kill me, it may just make me stronger. The blogging starts in earnest on April 1. No foolin'.
