I’m doin’ it! And my theme will be…
….
…..
(that’s a drumroll)
……
RANDOM!
In my effort to decide on a theme, I picked up my thesaurus and started leafing through it. Still not being able to decide, I decided to decide on the second-last entry word in the left hand column of the left hand page of whichever page I open the book to on that day, regardless of what the word is (keeping in alphabetical order of course), thus challenging myself beyond the challenge of writing twenty-six entries during the month of April.
Don’t be surprised if your SoCS prompts correspond with the letter of the day… *checks to see if “X” falls on a Saturday* … no it does not. Hooray for you!
If you’re announcing your theme today for the A – Z Challenge, please leave a link in the comments. Anyone reading this, check out the other participants. It’s a wonderful time of the year to connect!

Oh I thrive on writing by the seat of my pants. This is going to be a piece of cake compared to last year’s A-Z fiction piece I did, where I had people reading along daily to a story in which I had no idea what was going to happen until I wrote it, the day it was published. Thanks for your comment, J.L. 🙂

I post every day anyway, but I may, just for grins and giggles, do the A to Z challenge without officially joining the challenge. That way, if I fall flat on my face on or before I get to the letter “X,” I can just say, hey, what A to Z challenge are you referring to? I am not a part of it.

Thanks, Dan. 😀 The SoCS prompts probably won’t change much other than the fact that they’ll likely be influenced by the letter of the day… The only one I can see I might have a hard time with is the letter “V” on the last Saturday of the month. 😛
