This week, we are to reveal our theme (if we have one) for the challenge. I've decided to use a theme this year and my theme is Blogging with a Side of Ramblings and Short Fiction. Maybe that's not much of a theme since that's what I usually do for the challenge except I don't think I do much talking about blogging. I don't know how it will go since I don't pre-write my post (aside from the first post) and I'm a moody creature so I could end up doing more ramblings and less about blogging. Mostly, I just wing it. I'm not a planner and I don't seem to be good at following plans even if I make them.
Even after doing the challenge so many times, I still think it's a good challenge for any blogger. As I said in my previous post, the A-Z Challenge can really test a blogger's stamina and their blogging brain. Writing 26 posts is daunting even if you have a theme or even if you have more than a month. If you're like me and don't pre-write your posts, it's a real challenge.
Good luck to those who will be participating. More about the A-Z Challenge over here.
Are you participating in the A-Z Challenge this year?
Looking forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteDebra: Thanks. I hope I can finish the challenge without too much grumbling.

Enjoy
ReplyDeleteChristine: I'm going to try and thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
DeleteI am still deciding if I will join this year. I agree there the challenge definitely tests your stamina. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteLive and Learn: The challenge is really a real challenge. I can understand your hesitation.
DeleteThank you for dropping by. Have a lovely day.
I will probably be participating, but as I think once is enough, I'll just do the official challenge sign up.
ReplyDeleteThis "sign up twice" bothers me a bit ;) ... and I have not thought up a theme yet. I think one of the challenges here is to sit down each day and write the day's post, so I'll most certainly be winging it too.
Charlotte: I don't care for the sign up twice either so I'll just sign onto the theme list and not bother with the master list - way too many categories to fill out. Good luck if you're participating.

I’m all for winging it. This is my 11th year. I always like to challenge myself. Though writing multiple short stories and keeping them alphabetically consecutive so that people will be able to read some of them and not have to wait and jump around the letters to get the whole story of whichever one they start, is more challenging for me this year, than ever before. Looking forward to following this one.
ReplyDeleteHarvey Heilbrun: I haven't try writing a story that encompasses 26 letters so, yeah, that sounds hard. I thought you were just writing stories and not connect them. Good luck with the challenge.

Good luck! I've only winged it once and it was havoc on my nerves ;-)

Ronel Janse van Vuuren: Some people are planners and then there's me. I like to plan but only sometimes. Good luck with the challenge.

Good luck! It's been a couple of years since I participated. I think I winged it last time. Nearly made it to the end... Planning ahead this year, so I'm hoping for better results. 😊
ReplyDeleteDawna: I hope you have better results as well. Good luck.
