Lots of people who’ve signed up for the Blogging from A to Z challenge 2013 have already been writing about it. The list is now open, we can all sign up then wait, or do a bit of planning, or be very organised and plan, write and schedule our 26 posts for April.
Can I say, now, that my fingers seem to want it to be an AtoX challenge.. No idea why, but I don’t seem to be able to hit the Z key very easily!
What’s my theme? You’ll have to wait, but although the theme is standard, the topics will be very different, I think, so I’ve categorised myself as Miscellaneous. It is possible I completely change my mind before April and do something normal like colours or paintings I’ve done or flowers in my garden or places I’ve visited.. or.. or..
I remembered early when the sign up list wasn’t open and knew I’d forget and be much later in the list. Last year, I was in the 600’s so I’m much nearer the front in the room. My description of where I am in the list goes along the line of “I like being a bit back. It’s like not being at the top table. We can watch the world go by, have a bit of fun & chat.”
If you’re looking for me and I’m not 432 anymore that’ll be any no-showers, giveruppers or advertisers trying to hyjack the list before me that will get dumped thus flinging me forward a number or two. That’s my interpretation of what happens. My number in the list jumped forward over 20 last year. Here’s hoping I manage to keep going for the whole month. Last year, I had a whale of a time and hope to do the same this year. I’ve already said hi to most of my neighbours. Not all of them, as a couple of them scared me a little.. oops, you’ll be wondering which ones now..
During AtoZ 2012 I designed a new font, I wonder what I’ll create this year. Have you decided what you will write about?

I did the challenge last year for the first time and although I enjoyed it found it exhausting. If I can decide on a theme I will do it this year too. Good luck with yours.
I found it exhausting too but have a cunning plan, that may or may not work…. more later on that.
Good luck to you too!
I did the challenge last year, so have learnt to prepare this year!
Best of luck!
Thanks. Best of luck to you too!
I was prepared last year and remember how life got in the way for some no matter how prepared they were. I’m sure we’ll have a fun time whatever happens.
Just signed up! #471. I tend to wing it and not plan, it seems to work for me but would be good to at least have a few posts ready. I love this challenge!!! Good luck and looking forward to reading your posts. 🙂
It was hard enough having most planned. You’ve got me wanting to write them all now!
That’s a really sweet and smart idea, to visit your neighbors in advance of the challenge! 🙂 I’ve set my theme and even settled on a handful of words, but am nowhere near to having any written posts. I really want to pre-schedule them, so I don’t feel so stressed during April. A to Z is a LOT of fun, but truly exhausting if you try to write AND visit others’ blogs all in one month, at that pace.
Hi! Thanks for visiting, I want to pre-schedule mine too but like you have none written yet. Here’s to a great April.
It was me wasn’t it 😉 Just kidding! Looking forward to seeing how this year goes. I’m tidying up the book that came from the pieces I wrote last year. No idea what my theme will be this year.
I know what I want to write about but not sure I’ll get around to it.. we’ll see. Good luck with your book.
I’ve signed up again this year, but I have no idea what my theme will be… eeek!
there’s enough time still. Though if you want them all written and scheduled you might need to put some imagination time in 🙂 I’m still convinced I’ll change my theme and because I’m avoiding editing my novels I’m hoping to do something a bit nifty.. hmm.. we’ll see if it works out.
