I thoroughly enjoyed doing the A-Z Blogging Challenge last April. There were well over 1000 participants last year, and it looks like there will be even more this year. I found some great writers to follow, and I look forward to finding more this year.
I'm glad to see that many of the writers I found through last year's Challenge are back for more. Some of the best writing in the blogosphere happens during A-Z, and I can't wait to see what my favorite writers come up with this year. There's still time to get in on the fun, just click the big ol' badge and get yourself signed up.
I signed up a while ago, and my plan was to get a head start, have a bunch of posts ready to go. So far I've written A and B, with plans to write a bunch of posts this week. I'm sort of torn about the whole getting ahead of the game thing. Last year I wrote each post the day before, and the pressure of having a deadline seemed to work. Looking back, there were only a couple of posts that feel half-assed, and I'm proud of the whole thing as a body of work.
I thought about having a theme last year, but eventually decided to pick random topics. My first thought this year was to do a movie theme, but after much deliberation, I'm going random again. I'm sure movies will factor heavily, but in a random way. ifyouknowwhatimsayin.
There was a video challenge to create a buzz for this year's A-Z, and this is the winning entry from Rachel Morgan. If you haven't signed up already, watch this and catch the spirit.
I too am doing the A to Z challenge. I've made a lot of posts but am stumped on the letter K. Hopefully I think of something soon.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your posts. Tim Tebow-double score?
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I'd love to join, but I'll be out of the country on the first for a couple weeks, and am not sure of my internet access while over there. Good luck to you though. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement. Hope the trip is fun.
DeleteBoy do I wish I could do this, but I know I'd fail miserably. So I'll leave it up to guys like you, Tim, to show us how it's really done. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it. Looking forward to seeing your work. (I think getting ahead of the 8 ball is always a good thing.) :)
I think you'd do great-maybe next year? Thanks for the encouragement.
DeleteNew follower :)
ReplyDeleteTracking my way through the A-Z listings and stumbled on you - and am very glad I did.
This will be my first year attempting the A-Z and I've made no plans at all. Or at least none that are written down anywhere yet.

Nice to meet you Amanda. Have fun with the Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI'm hella stoked you picked me to follow during the challenge.
ReplyDeleteHi Tim. Just dropping in to make sure I follow as your A to Z co-host (already do). Glad to have you in my group!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you're doing the A-Z again! Looking forward to your posts. I had to laugh as I had plans to get posts done in advance too, and I made it to A & B. So much for that plan. :D
ReplyDeleteSee you Sunday!
I didn't find you last year through a - z - glad I found you this year. I actually did get some posts done ahead of time this year, so will have more time to read others. Looking forward to your random posts.
