It was February when I signed up for the A-Z April Blogging Challenge. At the time I had energy. “I can do this!” I said. “It’ll be easy!”
I even decided on a theme way way wayyy back then. “I’ll write about writing!” I said.
Well, with a week left to go I’m putting a brave face on and I’m saying, “Yes! I can still do this!” I moved the badge to the top of my sidebar, and I’m waving it proudly.
Meanwhile, I’m gathering all the notes I’ve written on napkins, in the notepad on my phone, on the ceiling in my bedroom… yeah, that was back in February … on what exactly to write about, and I shall give it a go!
How will I keep it fresh and entertaining? Life, of course. Rather than gobbling about the rules and guidelines, I shall devote the month of A-Z on writing, to how I pull from the observations, characters, emotions, etc., etc., I find in everyday life and apply them to creating stories and all the elements which go into them.
It’ll be … fun!
If you’re reading this and you’re joining in the fun of A-Z April, please let me know in the comments so I can follow along with your posts. Let’s have … fun together!

Impressed with your zeal and just clarifying – during April, you write blog posts beginning with alphabet letters in chronological order…? (am always a bit slow to catch on) 🙂

I think it’s more the theme of the blog post. So basically, start with the title’s subject being of that particular letter and stick to the subject. That’s what I gathered from the rules anyway. They don’t really come out and say… I don’t think.
Oh hell, I’m just as much in the dark as you are. I’ll just wing it. 😉
Thanks for the comment, Lee-Anne. Will you be joining?

I’m really tempted for B to just make the “emoticon” art for boobs. I was going to post it here, but I feared it may be too graphic and be considered offensive 😦 I refrained. For I am a gentleman. Except in the bedroom. Then I’m a freaking lumberjack and werewolf. Anyway, good luck! 😀
