After much over thinking, I decided to do the
Blogging from A-Z Challenge this April. This week, we are to reveal our theme (if we have one) for the challenge but
I don't have a theme and I don't want a theme. Having a theme means you have to stick to certain criteria and even if you break your own rules of what fits those criteria, it is still sort of a restriction. I am a stickler in that I wouldn't veer off the theme. To write 26 posts in a month is already a challenge so to add a theme is an extra challenge. But also because I have problems choosing. But if I am to pick a theme, it would be
ramblings and randomness.
This year, I thought to make it easier on myself.
I will pick three words and let the readers choose which one I will be rambling about or if I have an inkling for a short story, I'll go that direction. I will choose the first word for the A post and then after that, the readers will choose. They will be short posts but I'm not going to restrict to an exact number of words because it would dampen the fun. Good luck to those who are participating. (More about the challenge
over here.)
Do you plan on participating in the Blogging From A-Z Challenge this April?
not me
ReplyDeleteChristine: You're missing out. Or maybe not.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
That sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteDebra: I hope it will be fun for me and the readers.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
This sounds fun, and I'm looking forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteRoberta: I hope so too.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
Jamie (jannghi.blogspot.com): That sounds like a fun way to do the A to Z. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteJamie: I'm not sure not having a theme is creative but at least, there would be less stress. Good luck with the challenge.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
I am still trying t make up my mind, but as I never do a theme reveal, I have until April 1 to actually decide ;)
ReplyDeleteI should maybe be more precise, for yes I DO a theme reveal, sometimes at leas, and in my own way. I just never JOIN the theme reveal on the A-Z blog ;)
DeleteAnd a second PS: I really like your cups for the A-Z sub-header, the peeling lable with your logo is a genious touch.
DeleteCharlotte: The reveal theme is quite odd because I have no theme and yet, I made of this post. I think they should change it to 'who's planning to participate' because I see a couple of people also without themes.
DeleteI will be doing a series of cup art with the a-z logo so it's why I use it like that, if you're curious.
Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
Well, as you know, I’m doing baths. Or dogs. I thought I was doing illustrations, but my audience votes otherwise 🤣
ReplyDeleteJemima Pett: Baths or dogs or both at the same time is not a bad theme. I think you should stick with what you want to do.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
Random is good! I consider that a theme too. I am participating. A to Z dog breeds on postage stamps.
ReplyDeleteLisa: That's a very particular theme - I don't think I have seen dogs on postage stamps, except Snoopy.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
I like the idea of letting readers choose your daily topic
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Debbie: I also like having readers choose although now I have to go choose the words/choices which is hard since there are so many words to choose from.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
Brave choice!
ReplyDeleteRonel visiting for Theme Reveal for A to Z Blogging Challenge 2025
Ronel Janse van Vuuren: Do you think? I call it a lazy choice because I couldn't choose.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
OMG I felt the same way, but that's a great way to explain your theme. I love it, and it kind of is like mine too. I'll be following your AtoZ. Good luck and I hope you'll stop by my blog. I also like too ramble ;) !!!

Patti: It's a bit lazy of me to call rambling about things a theme but if people are looking for a theme, that would be it. Good luck with the challenge.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.

ReplyDeleteNothing wrong in not having a theme. That way, we will have a surprise every day when we find your post.
ReplyDelete-- Pradeep / My theme reveal post
Pradeep Nair: Exactly. It will also be a surprise to me as I will write them as I go along.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
Nice idea. I'm in the middle of doing an A-Z of authors, so I will not take part this year but I will have to keep it in mind for the next one.
ReplyDeletehttps://momobookblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Alphabet%20Authors
Marianne: I have read some of your A-Z author posts. Most of the authors I know and some I don't. It's actually a good idea though I seem to forget author's name most times.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
Ha, yes, if it wasn't for my lists, I probably would forget most of them, as well. LOL
Deleteletting your readers pick your topic sounds like an interesting challenge.
ReplyDeleteI taking part in the az challenge too, even though last year i said i wouldn't do it again, lol.
heres my theme reveal: https://getlostinlit.blogspot.com/2025/03/a-z-challenge-theme-reveal.html
Idea-ist @ GetLostinLit: I also said I might not the challenge from last year but here I am going to do it.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
I'm a great fan and practitioner of rambling, and I look forward to see what directions you end up heading toward.
ReplyDeleteDeborah Weber: I hope my ramblings isn't too boring.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.

Hello fellow no-themer. I agree It is enough to fit the letter days. Better to go rogue. Following along.

Tami Von Zalez: Yes, it's better to go rogue though I seemed to be doing that every year.
