Before I reveal my theme for this year’s A-Z challenge, for those of you who Aren’t aware of what its about, here’s a little info. The A-Z challenge begins from the 1st of April to the 30th. Each day except Sunday’s (which is our break for being good and writing all week), we share a post whose title begins with a letter of the alphabet. On April 1st, we write on a topic beginning with A, on the 2nd “B” until the 30th which is rounded up with letter “Z”.
My theme for this year is : Poetry and Prose.
Last year, I participated unofficially (without signing my name to the list) using the “poetry” theme. It was a challenge to write a poem everyday especially when it came to certain alphabets, but it was fun and a learning experience. Got me to push my boundaries and that’s why I am participating again this year.
But this time, I do want to be prepared which is where I need your help. A-Z begins in ten days, during which i’d be writing my finals and immediately afterwards, would be moving out of my Apartment and into a new one, and then traveling. I know, wrong timing. I have a feeling, my inspiration well wouldn’t be too juicy hence I need some push.
I’d really appreciate it if you can recommend words for me, from “A-Z” that I can write about, phrases or even links to posts and pictures that I can use an inspiration.
I want to see if I can schedule some posts before hand. I am not too sure about the Internet connection when I do travel. Now, that being said, so far I know three bloggers who are participating- Yinglan (who’s theme is on quotes), Life as a potpourri , Doc2Poet (his theme is also poetry), Simply Poetry (her theme is forms of poetry around the world) and Ellespeth. If you are participating in the challenge, please let me know so I can include your link here. And that way, it’d be easier to atleast find one another.
P.S: looking forward to hearing your suggestions.
hey Ameena.. how are you doing?? Thanks for the link. Would be looking forward to your poetry 🙂 🙂 Do let me know if you need any help while you are on travel
happy blogging!!!

Great idea! Well A for apples is an easy one – but you could also write a love story with K – for Kenny. Z makes a good name for a woman – Zenny or Zelda.

Hahaha, thanks for the suggestion. I did one the last time on a name, K for Khaira. But I love your suggestion. It’d be nice to try out one on a female and then a male. Thank you

This is a lovely post! I was thinking I wouldn’t participate, but I feel rather encouraged by you–and maybe I wouldn’t sign up officially (remove that pressure). No immediate suggestions come to mind, but please know I’ll keep you in my prayers during this busy time of transition for you 🙂

Tons of exciting stuff happening!! Some letters can be tough, but, like you, I do find that it can be a great challenge. I will suggest to you the word Zeal for Z;)
BTW, I recently moved to a self-hosted site and the following is my latest post:

Thanks for the suggestion Nena 😄 and congratulations on being self hosted now. I typed the url but WordPress told me I’m already following. Would check to confirm when I log in with my iPad. 🙂

Yes, it shows that I still have my subscribers via email, but I am just not sure if the posts show up in the wordpress Reader anymore. Either way, I will be keeping in touch as usual:)

Hmmm, I’m doing NaPoWriMo and I think with my schedule for blogging it would be tough to do both. So probably not. Perhaps, another month if it’s an ongoing thing.

Yeah that’s true. It’s actually only once a year. Maybe next year then 🙂

Look at you being all grown up, moving apartments and travelling, haha. Some of your best poetry were written during your A-Z challenge last year. Around that time period I did a personal challenge of learning to write different types of poetry. The A-Z would be a lovely challenge but with my blogging absence lately, I do not want to make such commitment. However, I will be happy to read your poems and follow links to others you will share.
