There’s nothing like waiting until almost the last minute. Last night I finally signed up for the 2015 A to Z Blogging Challenge. You can read more about it (and sign up!) here. Basically, it’s a challenge in which you blog every day except Sundays during the month of April, based on the alphabet: A on the 1st, B on the 2nd, and so on.
It’s fun, it’s a good way to “meet” other bloggers, and it’s a great way to help get in the habit of regular blogging. I’ve actually meant to sign up for a while, but time somehow managed to get away from me. I do have a few pre-scheduled posts, so I feel like I’m starting off a little better than I have before. I finished in 2012, dropped out before it began in 2013 due to some health issues, and didn’t finish in 2014. 2015 needs to be a good year!
Once again, I’m not doing a theme. I came really, really close, but just didn’t want to fully commit to one theme. I have mixed feelings about themes. It seems to be recommended that you have a theme, and it seems like a lot of folks do. I can see the point; it probably helps with organization, and some of the themes are really interesting. I just feel like, for me, a month is a long time to write about one topic. We’ll see how it works out.
So what about you? Are you participating in the A to Z Challenge this year? Are you planning on a theme? 
Hello again. Thanks for dropping in to my blog earlier. I'm another last minute signer-upper; let's hope I can stay the course. I agree with you that writing for an entire month on one topic is probably a challenge too far! As I said, mine will likely be a pot-pourri of bits 'n bobs. We'll see how we go.
ReplyDeleteGlad you jumped on the band wagon! Looking forward to reading your posts! For me it was easier to have a theme than to try to figure out what to write. Getting excited!
