As the blog turns….
Adrenaline is pumping
everywhere,
Among authors, travelers, artists,
culinary experts, mothers, fathers and more…with tips, games and stories to
share.
All in the name of the
A-to-Z Challenge, we’re banded together, our fists held high in the air.
An Athletic Approach is
needed to stay the course because flexing your blogging muscles to build
stamina is a marathon, not a sprint.
An Abundance of Amusements
have us in for a ride, anxious to find out what's around the next bend, twist
or turn on the signup list.
An Adventure like no other is now brewing with new discoveries and the
formation of online alliances of likeminded folks.
April is here. Time to party -- visiting many online destinations to see
what people have going on, while other guests read what you wrote.
Now that we know our ABC's, the time has come to start blogging from A-to-Z.
We'll see you on the court; or, in the park. Let's go and Ace this thing!
Are you in this Challenge for the Athletics, the Adventure, the Amusement or All of the Above?

So much buzz is in the air, with so many sign-ups
and blogs with such flare!
oh boy this is my first time-scary
I'm expecting all of the above.
Definitely all of the above. I've been looking forward to this ever since I finished up last year's challenge. Let the alphabet games begin.
All of the above ;P
All of the above and also a bit nervous and overwhelmed, but in a good way :)
This year I have an additional challenge (I am temporarily disabled) and so I am incorporating and dedicating this A to Z challenge to those who have a "disability" and face another type of challenge daily.
A Plus!
All of the above!

First time's a bit overwhelming, but a wonderful experience too! Keep the faith :)
http://effervescencia.blogspot.in/2014/04/a-is-for-archaism.html
I am in for all of the above and why are you in?
I tend to be ultra serious about my writing. I know, I should use this challenge, perhaps to lighten up... but I wouldn't be truthful if I didn't say it I am in it for the Athletics and the Adventure. If there was an A word for encouragement, that would be a primary reason for me, too!
Happy A to Zing everyone!

I'm in it for all three, but definitely hope to meet some new people along the way.
I'm in for the adventure, that's for sure.
Hi Nicole .. I'm in it for the Amazing bloggers, the awesome creativity we get to see, and the adrenaline bustingness of it all ..
Cheers and enjoy life in April .. Hilary
I'm not blogging the challenge this year, but I love have a list of new folks to meet!
Ready, set GO!!!! We are off to A start.
I am so excited because its my first time. yay!
I'm all up into amusement - I'm hosting a frolic in my corner of the world.

I am up for all three and my B is up too :)
Huzzah! Ailuropoda melanoleuca anticipate amusing antics.
Wahoo! Pumping my weights now as I read...er, uh, or will be as soon as my hands are free. (But wait, I need those hands to click on to the next blog. Doh!) ;)
Adventure and super-challenged athletics: how much can I write in a day? (3 blogs) How much can I comment in a day (great visits all around) But most of all: how great connections will I leave the month with? That's the single most important and most fun goal :)
Andi
We're off and running! Over 2100 strong.
Wow! Over 2100!?! That's great. I'm in it for All! Wouldn't it be great if we ended with All?
All I know is, it's a good thing i don't work b/c I'm having a hard enough time keeping up w/ the blogs I follow today, nevermind going to the list of participating blogs! I'll have to start working on that one later today.
First time. Yup, I'm nervous....! But excited too.
This is my first year for the challenge!!! I am so excited to be able to participate!!!!
Happy A to Z!!

Sorry guys I'm abstaining this year,down to loosing a laptop with my data on it along with a hard drive. I'm still trying to recover the data. It's all down to preperation and what I started is on the drives. Hopefully next year I will be ready, in the meantime good luck everyone ( There are over 2000 taking part this year ) and I hope the two PH blogs I looked at are not just there for advertiseing.
Happy to participate one more year! Greetings and happy blogging from http://cintascorner.com
Absolutely All of the Above
So excited. This is my first time. I took the easy way out and picked a pretty basic easy topic but hoping I can stick to it and finish it.
A is for Attitude. A positive attitude, of course!
I'm so flipping excited! This is my first year participating...let the party begin! :D
Stopping by on the first day of the challenge. I've already learned some new things reading the blogs that are near my number on the participation list. Like everyone, looking forward to making new blogging friends this month.
A to Z is the ultimate adventure for sure!
I almost backed out. Glad some of the friends I talked into doing it posted theirs. It made me want to push on and do it. Now after reading such a quirky post and really excited about what's to come in the month.
It certainly is an adventure, and an amusing one at that!! I know the challenge will stretch me, in a good way!

First day is off to a great start. You are number 1 Yayyy!

I am trying to write a novella with the story continuing each day with a new letter. I have no idea where this is going but I am looking forward to it.

Let the marathon begin, it's more of a triathalon for me some days I'll sprint, others I'll swim or cruise through. I'm in all above, for the adventure :) Reflex Reactions
Amusement, definitely.
Signed up for the Adventure but after Day 1 is done I'm seeing that this is all three combined!
I signed up yesterday and this is my first go around!! So much fun seeing the creativity flow.
A is for Awesome!
A is for accepting the challenge and letting it roll...
A challenge well worth it!
It's going to be a hectic month I can see, good luck to everyone.
All of the above! :)

Mostly for the challenge.

An adventure for sure!!! It will be an interesting April!!! 😄
Adventures for this traveling author. :)
All of the above, but mostly for the adventure - to reminisce about my past travels.
Great way to show the letter A for your take off to the challenge. See you at the finish line and hopefully along the way, too.

Having a blast and so thrilled to be a part of this Challenge!
If I had read this prior to starting the challenge, perhaps I wouldn't already be a day behind, as I would have worked out my blogging muscles for that *Athletic Approach* you mentioned... drat! Oh well, it's not too late to catch up!
