The Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Back!


Arlee Bird over at Tossing It Out is bringing back his April challenge - blogging Mondays through Saturdays in April with a different letter of the alphabet each day. As he says:

"You can post essays, short pieces of fiction, poetry, recipes, travel sketches, or anything else you would like to write about. You don't have to be a writer to do this. You can post photos, including samples of your own art or craftwork. Everyone who blogs can post from A to Z."

I'd like to see the #fridayflash group involved in this. Go read Arlee's full post here...I'll wait. While you're there, sign up for it! I know that Rachael Blackbirdsong of Ravenwood has already done so. I'd love to see many more of you signed up...perhaps with artwork or haikus? Short stories or recipes? Yeah, you know I'm talking to you.

To make it really interesting for myself, I'm going to incorporate my #fridayflash into it as well. The Fridays are the letters A, G, M, S and Y, in case you're wondering.

Join in the fun!

Update: Fridayflash people who've joined the fun! (If you've joined, leave me a comment and I'll add you here)

  4. That sounds like so much fun! Unfortunately I had to cut back on posting, so I don't think I'll be able to pull it off myself...
    But I'll definitely check out your posts and the other participant's :)

  5. I'm still thinking about this. After an hour and a half phone call today, I'm thinking I really may not have the time for all a blogfest entails. For me, posting is the least of it.

  6. Talli - I'm excited about it!

    Estrella and Carol - Keep thinking! The nice thing about it being in April is you can start writing your posts now. ;)

  7. If you jumped in a lake I'd probably follow. What is it, black magic? I'm really tempted....

  9. Thanks for this post. I'll be linking to it on an upcoming thank you post.
    You have the right idea about combining the Challenge with the FridayFlashes. Anyone can still do what they normally do and merely incorporate the letter prompt into it.
    Good luck!
