Q is for Question #AtoZChallenge

I asked my husband and co-blogger Richard to give me a word for each letter of the alphabet. It was a great way to generate random words so that I could write my stories for the month. For Q, he gave me question, and I thought that it would be a great word for over here on the A to Z blog as well.

From Dictionary.com:

noun

1. a sentence worded or expressed so as to elicit information.

   "we hope this leaflet has been helpful in answering your questions"

verb

1. ask questions of (someone), especially in an official context.

   "four men were being questioned about the killings"

Somewhere along my blogging journey, I was given the advice of asking a question as part of my blog post. It's a great way to engage readers. So I will ask you a question:

What question do you want your readers to answer today?

Print Power! ( #AtoZChallenge )

     Considering the many bloggers who have aspirations of getting something published as well as those bloggers who already have, blogging seems like an ideal way to put our writing to the test as we reach the public in our online platform.  Whether you've been blogging for many years like I have or are relatively new to the game, you've likely recognized the usefulness of having a blog to test the waters in regard to our writing output or to promote whatever we might have in print or otherwise.

      The Blogging from A to Z Challenge is a wonderful opportunity to reach new readers as well as stay in contact with old friends. Content on a blog is paramount to drawing readers and holding their attention. Adding 26 new posts in one single month might seem like a tall order to some, but it is doable and worth the effort you put into it.  

       Having lots of content in a notebook or in a computer file is fine as writing exercise, but the real test is having people read and react.  If the content is on line on a blog then your reach as a writer is limitless.  Get the momentum going in April to keep you rolling through the rest of the year.  When blogging becomes a habit then you give your writing a boost and if you're writing a lot then why not put it in a blog.  Either way, the more you write the better your chances of reaching readers.

        There is power in print, but getting the print accomplished requires a power that comes from you the writer.  Power up!  Print on!  Keep the blogging going!

        What do you do to keep blog motivation?   Do you sometimes have to force yourself to compose a blog post or do you just skip it when you don't feel an urge to write?   Has your blog helped you achieve any goals and if so, how?

O is for Opportunity

The A to Z Challenge is an opportunity to test your creativity and see if you can come up with 26 words that start with each letter of the alphabet. Unfortunately, that includes letters like X, Q, and Z, and sometimes you have to be creative with those.

So this month is an action-packed and fun-filled monthlong exercise in creativity. If you're like me, you'll probably want to take on another challenge to further your reach into the blogging world. In other words, you'll look for further opportunities to hone your blogging chops, Where do you find them?

You're going to make some friends this month, some of whom are more advanced than others. The long-time bloggers will probably be announcing other blog hops that they're participating in. That was how I got involved with this challenge: I saw people talking about it and said "hey, that looks like something fun to do, I think I'll try that!" In fact, this challenge was what got me to start my blog.

So keep your eyes open for further blog hops. I run one called "Writer's Workshop." Fandango runs a bunch of blog hops from his blog, so look in his direction. If music is your thing, there's Monday's Music Moves Me, which I participate in (on Mondays, naturally). And that's just a tiny sample.

I hope you love blogging enough that you want to do more of it!
