Authoring Barmy Chronicles - Blogging From A-Z 2026

My theme for the A-Z challenge is Blogging with a Side of Ramblings and Short Fiction. For this first post, I picked these three words as an acronym to spell out ABC – authoring, barmy, chronicles – which is another way of saying blogging. Authoring is pretty accurate because when you send a post to the world, you publish it and that makes you an author so you're authoring. Barmy means foolish, silly, something like that, which is how I blog. Being serious all the time is not fun. As for chronicles, that would be kind of accurate too since your posts are in chronological order and I think anything you post on your blog is you chronicling something, either the things you do daily or even just little things you worry about. So I'm authoring barmy chronicles which sounds kind of odd but I like it.

Here are some barmy chronicles. As to whether they are true or not, you decide.

01 - My plant died because I remembered to water it.

02 - During a coming storm, two women came to preach about god while behind them, garbage bins and debris rolled past. It was another ordinary Saturday.

03 - The problem with living is all the decisions you have to make like which assassins is best when dealing with your mother-in-law.

04 - My neighbor painted his house blue to match the sky. Then it rained. He, again, repainted his house to match the sky. Then it snowed. And again, he repainted his house. Then a storm came and swept his house away. Now he sits in his front yard and sells paint.

05 - My friend's friend's friend's cousin brought my old coffee table and then tried to return it. He said it doesn't make coffee. I said that's not what a coffee table does but he insisted I give his money back and so I did and I took the table back. It turned out he had someone built in a coffee maker into the table but instead of coffee, it makes tea.

What barmy chronicles would you write on your blog?
