So, why am I adding another goal, another challenge, to my already looooong list of to-dos? And why should you? Because this A-Z Challenge sounds like a lot of fun. Think about it - hundreds of bloggers (if not more!) all posting on the same day, about the same letter. The inspiration, the pure imagination of it all, is mind-blowing. The possibilities for posts are endless. Meeting other bloggers and finding new friends are practically guaranteed.
Since this is my first time participating, I don't have any actual advice on how to do it or what to write about, but here are some links to get you started:

You can sign up now and start socializing and planning your posts but since the actual challenge doesn't start until April, that gives us plenty of time to cross a few of those old resolutions off our lists. (Keeping up with the housework? What was I thinking? Sheesh.)
I'm still debating about this one because I'll be out of town for some of April and I don't to miss anything. BUT I'm excited to read everyone else's posts!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some time to decide, Emily. I'm having company for part of April but I plan on scheduling posts ahead as much as I can and playing catch up on visiting the other blogs. We'll see how it goes. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm toying with doing this challenge too. I think it sounds so cool!
ReplyDeleteAngela, it sounds like it'll be both a challenge and a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're planning to the the April challenge. I had so much fun doing it last year, even though it was totally crazy at times, too. But I am definitely in for another go. :)
ReplyDeleteYeh, Julie! I'm glad you're participating, too. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Madeline, first time visitor. Great to meet you! Glad to see you've signed up for the A to Z Challenge! Its going to be a great time and an opportunity to meet lots of great people.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Stephen! It's great to meet you, too. I'm really looking forward to the A-Z Challenge. Thanks for being one of the co-hosts - you all rock. :)
ReplyDeleteI did A to Z last year, and loved every minute of it. BUT, do pre-write as many posts as possible and don't put pressure on yourself to visit every entrant - it won't be possible. Someone suggested sticking to the next 100 blogs on the list after you and I think I will adopt the strategy this year.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
Thanks for the tips, Ellie. And I admit, I feel overwhelmed already about visiting the other blogs. Coming up with some sort of plan will definitely help with that. :)
