For the fourth year in a row, bloggers will be tackling the I just decided the last of my topics last night and I already have 9 of the posts written. It's a pretty rigorous schedule, so I tried to work ahead. Plus, each blogger is supposed to visit the blogs of all the other participants. With 1,700 participants, I expect that I will spend a lot more time reading other blogs than writing for myself.
I hope they're good.
I'm excited to discover some new writers I was not aware of before, but know there are plenty of people stinking up the blogosphere as well. Hopefully, not many of them signed up for this. Either way, I am reading them all.
Here is my plan for the month. Some are funny. Some are serious. Some required extensive research and others are stories from my memory.
April 1 - A is for Allergies
I have an unusual allergy and have a bit of trouble staying away from the irritant.April 2 - B is for Bird
The story of one of our unusual childhood pets.April 3 - C is for Computers
I am nowhere near as knowledgeable about computers as people seem to think I am.April 4 - D is for Deoxyribonucleic Acid
There's some cool new technology out there. I explore what this could mean for us.April 5 - E is for ESL

Wow! You have your whole month scheduled out. I look forward to reading these posts, or as many as I can.
ReplyDeleteI almost signed up for the A-Z challenge but decided I have quite enough on my plate at the moment.
My big fear was that it would come time to write a post and I wouldn't know what to write about, so I tried to at least come up with the topics. A few of them might change, but I think I have it locked down.
DeleteWait. You are reading ALL of the other blogs??! Is that even possible? I've just been skimming thru and finding the ones I want to read for the challenge, and lots I don't. Is that mean??
ReplyDeleteI will be visiting each one to read the most recent post. I will mark for later the ones I may want to come back to after the challenge, but I plan to visit them all. I knocked out over 400 already.
DeleteI don't think it's mean. There are certain topics that I have absolutely NO interest in and I can tell pretty quickly when it is one of those types of blogs. I'll still leave a comment, but I'll move on. I just don't want to miss any that I might have really enjoyed.
Good luck! I can't wait to read what you've got there...those are some nifty titles! I only just changed my theme the other day and now I'm scrambling to get as many prewritten as I can!
ReplyDeleteI just couldn't lock down on a theme, so my posts are all over the place. I think I have a theme already for next year, but I just couldn't decide on one fast enough this year.
DeleteLooks like a good month Brett. Have fun with the writing and reading.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am very excited.
Delete1,700! That makes my eyes hurt just thinking about it! Hopefully you'll make some good discoveries
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope so. That's a lot of reading to come up with nothing.
Delete1758 as of right now.
Nice lineup and this will help you with your posts very nicely. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. :)
I figured I could write a post if I got in a pinch, but knew I had better at least have the topics picked out.
DeleteI don't even have half of my posts chosen yet and I haven't even started on my first post. I really should have started sooner.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I can't wait to see your posts.
I have about a third of them written at this point. I plan to stay on top of it so I don't get rushed.
