The Approach of April and the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2012

So, if you've been following my blog lately, you may notice a new widget thingy to the left which is called Blogging From A to Z Challenge. What is it, you may be asking yourself?

From the sponsoring website, Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2012, comes the following explanation:

"Can you post every day except Sundays during this month?  And to up the bar, can you blog thematically from A to Z?
 
       Most of the time if you subtract Sundays from April, you then have 26 days--one day for each letter of the alphabet.  When April 1st lands on a Sunday you begin on that day which will be the only Sunday you would post during that month's challenge.

        Using this premise, you would start beginning April First with a topic themed on something with the letterA, then on April second another topic with the letter B as the theme, and so on until you finish on April thirtieth with the theme based on the letter Z.  It doesn't even have to be a word--it can be a proper noun, the letter used as a symbol, or the letter itself.  The theme of the day is the letter scheduled for that day."

In other words, the goal is to write a blog every day, except Sundays (with the exception of this Sunday, April 1st) and do so using the letters of the alphabet in order for the title/theme of your blog. The madness of this challenge is compared to Nanowrimo, which I have participated in the last 3 years and have won it all 3 years. 


Blogging is my weakness as I often find it difficult to find something worth writing about that people would care enough to read about. I had tried to do this at the first of the year with the Writing Madness of Oz blog posts, but Life conspired against me and I found myself blogging very sporadically.

Now, I'll have another go at it and try this challenge. I've been planning my blog posts with a calendar and such and we shall see how well I do.
