Blogging from A to Z - this April



I did it! I signed up for 2014's A to Z Blogging Challenge.

I really was dubious about doing the challenge this year, because I'm not entirely sure of my chances. I've felt a little uninspired when it comes to blogging, but now that I have an idea of what I'll be doing for the A to Z, I think it will be a good opportunity to get some blogging energy back.

I really hope!

So, what is the A to Z? Well, most of you probably know, but I will give a brief overview just in case somebody doesn't. The A to Z was started by the awesome Arlee Bird over at Tossing It Out. Arlee's challenge takes place during April each year, when a (large) bunch of bloggers select a theme to post to every day in April except Sundays. It's a great way to meet new people, and in past years I've always learned a lot of new stuff through reading others' posts. Here is a page that has a lot more detailed info!

Check out the list of participants and you'll see there are a lot of them. I'm currently #1086 in the queue, and since I signed up (not very long ago) 53 other people have signed up below me!

But what am I doing this year for the challenge? Well, I've decided to go with a "Books" theme, as I did in 2012 ... and indeed there will be a link between 2012 and what I'm doing this year. But I won't say more than that until closer to April. :)

Are you participating in the A to Z challenge?
Have you ever done so before?

  2. Good luck! You'll rock. :)

    Done the last 2 years but I'm not ready this year, I'm not even back to regular blogging yet. I'll enjoy dipping in and seeing what everyone's up to, though.

  5. Maybe I should do this. The last year or so, I've mostly done photo posts.

  6. Ahh, I need to sign up! Thanks for the reminder. I always find that A to Z makes blogging in the following months so much easier for me.

  7. Brave girl, Trish. I'm finally heading to publication, so I'm keeping on my roll. A - Z is SO time consuming. If you don't visit heaps of posts you are talking to yourself. I'll be interested in your theme.

  11. This will be year 3 of the A-Z for me. I am wondering about my sanity but I am looking forward to it anyway with a bit of trepidation and a tinge of excitement. Looking forward to doing it with you! ♥
