Blogging from A-Z Challenge 2025

Blogging from A-Z Challenge 2025
I have done the Blogging from A-Z Challenge every April for almost as long it existed. I think this is a good challenge to sort of challenge a blogger's patience (by posting every day except Sundays for a whole month guided by the alphabets) and their perseverance because so many quit after the letter A. If you didn't plan ahead and wrote all 26 posts, it might seemed daunting to have to write them in a rush to post on time.
    The challenge for me is to keep thinking and writing posts and sometimes a day ahead but most, I write a post the day before I post it. Yes, it would be easier and less stressful to plan ahead but I'm not one to plan anything ahead and even if did write all the posts, I would still end up changing many of them.
    Usually I have no themes so it's random things that I hope entertains readers and maybe some fictions as I can't help but include some but I keep them short. This year, I'm thinking if I do the challenge, I would pick words and talk about whatever comes from those words. But I don't know. It's easier to say to do something than to actually do it. I'm still debating whether to do the challenge or not.
    Anyway, I thought I repost the badges I made for the challenge this year. The theme for these badges is beginning or spring so that's why the little plant and the sun. (I've revised the winner's badge a tiny bit as the word winner wasn't quite balance in the first version.) These are alternatives and not the official badges. You may use these as you like. (Click on them for the large views so you can download.) (More about the challenge here.)

Do you plan on doing the Blogging From A-Z Challenge this April?

  1. Thank you for improving on and reposing your badges. If I participate, I am going to use them! I still o not know, I need an inspiration for a theme - or some themes, or even none, just some words. And I'd also like a fresh shot of energy.

    1. Charlotte: I can understand. There's a bit of lackluster or is it rustiness with the challenge? It's probably just me. I like to do it but I'm uncertain.

      As for themes, there are many, I can't offer anything without feeling like I'm offering a dictionary. To even randomly pick a word or a theme, it's easy but to muster up the will to do it, is an entirely different thing.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.

  3. It would probably be a guide to this challenge.
    But maybe binding.
    I would love to take part
    but at the moment I am in a very difficult and uncertain phase of my life.
    So I'll leave it for next year (hopefully we'll be fine here too), but I'll read you.
    Have a great day Lisa!
