EEK! How did that happen? I have been toying with the idea of doing the A-Z Challenge, and now it's already April, and time for it to begin. The A-Z Challenge is a blogging challenge to post every day in April, except Sundays, with each post related to a letter of the alphabet. There are 26 days in April without Sundays, so it works out nicely.
I've done this challenge a few times in the past and have a love/hate relationship with it. I find posting daily arduous, but I am often more creative when I have a deadline every day. So, I guess I'll give it a go for a couple of weeks anyway. I'll be traveling at the end of the month with unpredictable internet, so I may pick the challenge up in May, where I leave off. If I had been coordinated, I would already have my posts ready. But that didn't happen.
People often post with a theme, and I tried that once but didn't find it any easier than random topics. I've been toying with the idea of looking through the Wayback Machine and reposting things from the past. I've been casually blogging for 14 years, so it could be interesting to take some trips down memory lane. And if past experience with this challenge has taught me anything, I never end up where I thought I was going to go.
So, without further ado, let the challenge begin.
Until next time...
A love-hate relationship is a great way to describe my feelings toward the challenge! I don't have a theme either. I'm looking forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you come up with, also.
DeleteHappy April! I completely relate to your love/hate relationship with the challenge. I also rarely prewrite my posts.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with people who everything laid out ahead of time, but I've never been able to pull it off. Good luck.
DeleteI'm sure it's a challenge to come up with this many posts so close together, but I always think it's fun when you participate.
ReplyDeleteIt's not always fun behind the scenes. When I told Ward I was going to participate this year, he rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, no!" But I do like a challenge, so let the "fun" begin.
DeleteOhh, I admire your dedication to posting! I wish I could do this challenege! It sounds like fun! I'll be reading along.
ReplyDeleteIt's not too late to join!
DeleteI always enjoy reading your A-Z posts and look forward to reading this year's too.
ReplyDeleteYou post almost every day anyway, so it would be easy for you to join the challenge.

ReplyDelete"No theme" is an interesting way to approach the A to Z. I look forward to see what you come up with.
I'm doing Novelty Songs as my theme.
Novelty Songs! That sounds like fun. I'll hope on over and see what you've come up with.
DeleteThis should be fun - I'll be reading!

We'll see how it goes. I'll be reading, too.
DeleteGood luck! I know I would fail at this challenge, but know others who really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThanks. There are no great consequences if I fail at the challenge, but I like to finish what I start. :)
