So, despite not finishing the April A to Z Challenge last year, and procrastinating on posts the year before, I signed up to do the challenge again this year.
“You don’t have to do the challenge every year, you know,” said concerned friend when I reminded him that the challenge was on the horizon.
“I know. I just want to,” I replied. “It’s like an annual writing tradition. I see April on the calendar, and think Blogging A to Z!”
I couldn’t wait to sign up and am pretty sure I was one of the very, very early birds when the sign-up list opened up yesterday. I kept checking the challenge siteΒ and when that 1000th post showed up, I immediately clicked the sign up form π
I am feeling fairly positive about the challenge this year, because:
- I already have a theme!
- I’ve a blog post idea for most of the alphabets, except for the letters Q, U and V. Darn you Q!
- I’ve started writing some of the posts! Well, one so far. But that’s better than the previous years when I’d write the day of, or when I’m REALLY hardworking, the day before! My target is to
writedraft at least 7 posts by the time the challenge starts (crossing my fingers and toes).
Can’t wait for the theme reveal on the 18th of March and then checking out what everyone else will blog about in April!
If at first you don’t succeed…
Doesn’t hurt to try again. Glad to have you join in the fun once more.

Thanks Arlee! I am always excited for the April A to Z Challenge. Since I’m way more prepared this year (compared to previous years), I feel good about tackling it π

I have complete faith that you’ll get it done this year, and starting early is the key, IMO! Good luck!

Iβm panicking! Only up to G and each one is taking ages because I keeping reading qhole books about each letter. Posts may get shorter as time goes on. Even a few words will keep it going. Good luck.
