For many bloggers April has become something other than a rainy, spring month. For these few who enjoy punishing themselves, it’s become the time of year when they attempt the A to Z Blog Challenge.
This challenge requires bloggers to write one post for each day of the month of April, except Sundays. 26 posts in all. There’s also 26 letters in the alphabet. Anyone wondering why it’s called the “A to Z Challenge” is now going, “Ohhhh.”
That’s right, one post for each letter of the alphabet and the topic of the post needs to start with the letter of the day. For example, today would be A, and someone could write a post about “Attempting Something New.”
Tomorrow, the second day, there will be posts on everything from babies to ballistas, batteries to bombs, bobby pins to blueberries.
If you don’t know what the third day will offer you’ll just have to wait and C.
Why am I talking about this when I can’t seem to consistently post to my blog? Because I can’t seem to consistently post to my blog, but I’d like to start.
Taking on this A to Z challenge could teach me to do that. It could also be a month filled with so much posting that I spend the next three not posting a thing. There’s also a chance that I fail out of that challenge by the third week or the third day, but that’s why they call it a challenge. If it was easy, there wouldn’t be a point.
If you want to see what I write about next, or even if you want to check to see if I’ve already failed the challenge, make sure to B here tomorrow. (Yes, I plan on making many letter puns throughout the month.)
This is my first year attempting something new, too. Good luck!
Nice post! I’m doing this challenge for the same reasons. I’ll keep piping back to check you’re still on track. Good luck!
I’m watching for Z!!
G’day and welcome to the A-Z Challenge! We did it last year and had a blast so we decided to do it all over again. Hopefully you will have fun and make it through to Z on the 30th!

I think it’s a great opportunity to get into the habit of blogging. Many people don’t post again for two months after the challenge (raises hand) but I learned a lot about networking and keeping posts to the point. With your sense of humor, I’m sure you’re going to gain a lot of new readers. Super stoked to see you here!
The letter puns…Love it! 😀
Thanks Nike!

Hey Roger! I appreciate you taking the time to read all my posts and the question about following. I’m still pretty fresh to blogging, so I don’t have all my bases covered. There is now a form in the sidebar where you can enter your email address and get my posts in your inbox. Thanks again for all the great comments, my new digital buddy. Can’t wait to check out your blog!
I am new to blogging too. I have had m blog for just six months. I enjoy the writing and collecting the readers/ followers. It is exciting to have people from other countries read your stories.
Sounds great! Just read your post on new beginnings, which seems appropriate. This blog has existed for some time, but it’s only recently that I’ve done something with it. Hoping to pick up some followers along the way.
best wishes…
