April means...A-Z Challenge!



April is just around the corner, and it's more than just the cruelest month for poets: it's time for the A-Z challenge!

I've never participated in this before, but I'm super excited to be the 1,170th person to sign up this year.

I started brainstorming today (oh, look, something shiny to distract me from my WIP). In an effort to make this month not only fun, but useful to myself (and hopefully to you, dear readers) I've decided on a writerly theme. The writing process, literature, publishing, and influential authors all make appearances on my list.

Yes, I will be researching and writing my posts ahead of time. Thankfully, that's legal! April is a month full of family, travel, and writing groups for me, so it's nice to now I can participate in this challenge if I spend the rest of March planning ahead.

So, what do you have to lose? I used to make my students write A-Z lists all the time: in a few days, I will feel their pain. Sign up for the challenge here, and remember to have fun!

  1. I'm in. My theme is Appalachia and luckily I have a head start. I'm up through G at this point. It's fun.
