Hi, friendly neighborhood storyteller here.
What's your story?
The A to Z challenge is one place where it is okay to make things personal. Chances are, if you did the Theme Reveal, you told us why you picked the theme you are doing. But even if you don't have a theme, you can still have a story.
Why do you blog?
What got you started?
What are the things that you are passionate about?
What are the stories you want to share with the rest of the world?
One place to tell your story will be during the A to Z Reflections in May. Tell us about your journey! The successes, the challenges, the encounters. Things you learned, things you enjoyed, treasures you found. Reflections help us look back on a crazy, hectic, chaotic, scrambling April (or is that just me?...) and see the story we have just been through. And say WOW.
(Or something like "wait... did I really just do that?...)
Find your Story!
What a great idea for May. I think June should be dedicated to catching up on all the great blogs we are not able to read right now... So overwhelmed by the participation and the effort going into everyone's posts.

#AtoZChallenge - S is for Social (media) Babies
This year, I am sharing little stories that make me think of all the fun I am having while I write. I agree with Seena above that June would be a good month to catch up on all the great blog posts.

It's been a rough one this year, but always memorable and exciting. ☺
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are great stories behind every blog participating in the A to Z challenge, which we'll get to read about during the Reflections bloghop.

It has been fun. I can't believe there's only one week left! Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteWhoo. This has been a fun challenge for 2016. I'm doing 7 blogs for A-Z. (It's not the first time I've done plenty of 'em. I did 8 last time.) This makes a nice motivation to keep the sites current.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting A-Z.

Year four for me. I'm beginning to ask myself how many #atozChallenges I have in me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea :-)
ReplyDeleteSee you in May ... oh, wait, there are several letters left ;-)

On my 110th day of blogging in 2016. Really focus on quality content. The A-to-Z challenge is a good way to try to come up with relevant content that day. I focus on blogging a different topic every day. (Monday is Disney, Tuesday is Gluten Free etc...) It is challenging to come up with topic in that area.
ReplyDeleteAt lunch today I went out to take pictures for next week's 'X' topic.
What a great idea for May, when things in the A-Z have settled down a bit. I am enjoying writing about "Thoughts of Being a Nomad" this year (my first time participating in this challenge), but I wish I had more time to check out more participating blogs! I had no idea how time-consuming this challenge would be! Now I understand why many bloggers wrote their posts ahead of time. :-)

Nice to know there will be something after A to Z. I've "met" so many new people I want to keep going! My A to Z theme this year (my first), is Music and I am having a blast. Thanks to all who are organizing and participating!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea because there certainly were challenges - some expected and some unexpected. Would love to write about them and read other people's stories.

My A-Z story always has a HEA ending, no matter how difficult the plot twists in April :) Look forward to the reflections post!

I got so far behind in reading blogs, and I can't believe May (and Reflections) are almost upon us. I have so enjoyed this year's challenge, though! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for this announcement. What a month and another week to go :)
ReplyDeleteThis AtoZ Challenge turned out to be completely different from what I planned because... well, life happened. It's still an awesome experience. I'll talk about it in the reflections.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read everyone's reflections post, they are exiting just like the theme revel :-)
