It's A to Z Time Again

Every year, I have to decide if I am going to do the A to Z Challenge again. And I don't know why I even have to think about it. I have done it four times (2013, 2016, 2018, 2019) and loved the experience every time.

 

 

The most difficult part for me each year is deciding on a theme. In 2019 I got very personal a wrote each day about a person who greatly influenced my life. That was a great month. It led to many great conversations and phone calls with old friends and got pretty sappy a few times. I reread those posts often. But this year, I decided to really try to stretch myself.

 

I am going to try flash fiction all month. I have only done flash fiction here once, but I was quite proud of that story (click here to read it). So, I am going to try it again, but it will be a little more complicated this time. I am going to write in a different genre each day.

I still have to map it out, but each day's genre will be decided by the letter for the day. For example, here are a few I already know I will be doing:

A - Adventure

D - Dystopian

H - Horror

R - Romance (not looking forward to this one)

S - Science Fiction

W - Western

I also will not pre-plan any story. I want every post to grow organically when I sit down to write each day. The only part of the story known ahead of time will be the genre for the day.

I honestly do not expect this to be an easy task and believe I will spend more time completing this A to Z Challenge than any I have done in the past.

First post goes up on April 1^st. A new one will follow every day in April excluding Sundays.
