A to Z Challenge 2022

A to Z Challenge 2022
I've been doing the A to Z Challenge for a couple of years and even though I sort of stressed myself out each April, I still enjoyed it. We're supposed to reveal our theme for our future A to Z Challenge posts but I do not do themes. This year, I have no theme again but I have two formats: some short fiction with some random stuff that might entertain readers.
    Usually I just wing it because I'm lazy and prone to not follow anything that I planned. I have nothing prepared, not even a single word thought up. I might end up with no fiction and lots of random stuff. I also kind of recycle ideas when I'm in a panic, like when I suddenly scrap a post I had written and need to come up with something else quick, which happens often. It seems like my post ideas are slightly better when I'm doing the challenge. It's like the rest of year, my brain is somehow asleep and during April, it wakes up or something.
    If you don't know, the A to Z Challenge is when you post every day in April except Sundays but each post follows the alphabet. For example, for the first day, we starts with A, like A is for apples and you have to post something relating to apples or whatever word/theme/prompt you choose to use. To check out more about the A to Z Challenge, go here.

How about you? Are you doing the A to Z Challenge this year?

  2. Lissa,

    You are the kind person these sorts of challenges are all about, doing your posts as the month goes along. Me, I prefer to get them done if I can ahead of the game. This year is going to be like last time, I will have some done but not all. Whatever you come up each day I'm sure will be interesting and entertaining. By the way, I like the new header and layout of your blog. Best of luck to ya in April and thanks for popping by, my dear! ;)

  6. The effort of doing the Challenge does, I think, bring out the best of us! I didn't finish my novel during last April but I did get enough momentum to get it finished since then. Food is the theme this year, Food as Ingredients and eating more Vegetarian food in response to current world crises...

    1. Frewin55: Your link to your theme reveal doesn't work. Food is not something I liket to think about but I'm sure you have better thoughts on them than I do. Good luck with the challenge.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.

  7. Looking forward to the Challenge, though no surprise if I get stuck somewhere around "M." I've been taking pictures for the last while and know if nothing else there will be lots of coffee cups. Thanks for visiting Buttercupland.

    1. Buttercup: Lots of people get struck on some letters, even the early ones like A. I still haven't thought up an A word yet. Good luck with the challenge.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.

  8. Hi! I had to laugh when I read that your theme reveal is that you don't have a theme. Awesome. I look forward to being surprised.
