The A to Z Challenge Begins Monday!

The A to Z Challenge kicks off Monday!

All of my posts are scheduled and ready. I’m a co-host this year and wanted to be prepared. My schedule is light otherwise, with only one speaking engagement. I’ll probably be late visiting anyone that day since it’s a morning seminar.

Just a reminder, the A to Z Challenge is blogging the letters of the alphabet six days a week in the month of April. It’s a great way to meet new bloggers.

Start with A on April 1st, Then B on April 2nd...

We post Monday thru Saturday. Sundays are a no-blog/letter day.

You can go freestyle or pick a theme, but the topic of your post must reflect the letter of the day.

Visit 5 blogs a day (or more) starting with the blog after yours on the list.

Short posts are essential! And no word verification

If you’re participating, be sure to grab the badge above and link to the A to Z Blog.

Arlee Bird at Tossing It Out
Damyanti Biswas at Amlokiblogs

  15. Y'know? I totally missed that whole bit about 6 days a week, lol! I was just thinking last night about how we have more days than letters of the alphabet for April. *shakes my head. I'm glad I read this post today.

    I'm glad word verification is addressed--I hate them, most of the time hard to read, too.

    I got my assignment, Mistress Spunky. This minion is ready to go.

  24. Hi Diane,

    Wishing you and all those participating, much fun and fulfilment. May the true spirit of a sharing, caring blogging community be realised.

    I look forward to your postings and all the others I can manage to visit.

    You may know, as many of the other hosts know, my satirical alternatives actually promote the A to Z.

    Be well and enjoy the Easter weekend.

    Gary
