With the holiday season around the corner, the
last thing on people's minds is blogging and what to write as far away as next
year. Me? I'm full of good intentions that get lost along the way, so I like
the thought of advance planning.
I already know what I'll be blogging about in
the A-Z next year, or so I think for right now, until another shiny, new idea
comes along. In case you haven't settled on a theme yet, the holidays are a
great time to look around and see what possible fun and exciting topics you can
cover. Here's my shortlist of things I'd
be interested in seeing done during the Challenge.
A-Z of planning for a new year (Helpful, if
you're the sort who can't seem to get things rolling motivation-wise or
resolution-wise when January 1 hits)
A-Z of getting though the holidays with your
sanity intact (think, Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc. or any other one
for that matter. This guide will help you organize and delegate tasks before, during
and after the holidays)
A-Z of planning and researching your projects
(Some of us are useless when it comes to getting ourselves organized and ready
to work when we're taking on anything new, including writing a book)
A-Z of handmade gift items (If you're good
with crafts and such and like the thought of personalized gifts)
A-Z of fun projects for children (This might
interest you if you're that relative who gets landed with the job of babysitting
all the little tots during family gatherings)
A-Z of getting through the A-Z Challenge (This guide
would help the disorganized among us to plan for the chaos that descends during
the A-Z if we do little or no planning beforehand)
A-Z Holiday Devotional (If you're religious or
spiritual and use devotionals to jumpstart your worship sessions)
Can you think of any other fun topics that
would be great to tackle during the A-Z? Anybody planning to take on any of
these? Have you started planning for the A-Z?

I bet a lot of people would benefit from an A to Z Guide for the Disorganized.
I think I'm one of those, Alex.
Those are some great options. I'm still undecided about my theme.
Hi, Susan, here's hoping you settle on a theme soon.
Hi Joy - decided on mine .. and have started jotting down notes ... but people are so creative and I love the A-Z and who I meet, then who I eventually find! Great thoughts for themes ... cheers Hilary
Great, Hilary. I've decided too, but know I'm likely to change my mind before April.
Hi Joy!
Such great ideas.
I'm a bit torn between two options...so I'm trying to see if I can do a mish-mash...blend the two.
I jotted down some ideas.
Wow! That's really organised Joy! I still have to put my thinking cap on ... having a note book on hand for ideas is what I've thought of .. specifically for A-Z ...
What great ideas... I'd love to do my take on the A to Z Guide to the A to Z Challenge, but maybe I'll keep it for 2016, since I'm too advanced with my plans for 2015 now and there is a key timing element to it :)
What a GREAT post! I think I have my theme, but really like some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing...
Joy, these are great ideas. I especially like the crafting idea. I would love to see someone do that to inspires those of us who like the idea of crafting but never quite our acts together. I have a theme planned and am slowly writing the posts as ideas come to me.
Hope that works out for you, Michelle.
Good idea, Susan. That way your ideas won't be lost.
Sounds like you're on the ball, Jemima. I'm sure that A-Z guide would be popular.
Happy to help, Lisa.
I think that one and the kiddies activities would be fun to do.
Holiday themes are always wonderful. Who doesn't want to know more about those traditions we all take for granted. Great idea. Have my theme for April. Now it's all about executing it.
The holidays are sneaking up on me in a big way - shipping this week...speaking of which, I'll bet there are lots of A - Z ideas for shipping things.
Hi Joy,
I have a great idea for a theme. How about the let's get rid of the ridiculous A to Z once and for all, theme. I don't want a bunch of emails from folks struggling with it this year.
Gary, the official anti-A to Z spokesman! :)
I'm still deciding but the get organized theme is right up my alley.
