Thinking ahead of the
A-to-Z Challenge, my mind has set wondering.
This will be my third year of participation. Looking at my first year and then at my
second, I was not pleased. Oh, there were
some posts that met expectations (mine), but there were a miserable lot that
had me shaking my head. What was I thinking…
This year my plans
are different. Writing something every day
for each letter forced me to come up with something,
even if that something was a stab at
the dark world of alphabet letters.
Also, the sheer numbers of participants had me gasping in frustration;
there were so very many fine writers out in the blogging world, and there was
so little time and physical endurance.
This year I will be
combining adjoining letters, two at a time, skipping a day, and writing from a tilted point of
view. A with B, C with D… There will be some oxymorons, some silly thoughts, a few
profound contemplations, and hopefully some interesting writing. Interesting and very very brief
writings. Can I work with 50 words
or less? I pray so.
The problem with this
Challenge is not only the incredible participants; it is also with the
overly-lengthy blogs. Seeing a blog that
fills the screen makes my eyes blur.
Having to do the de-coding in the "captcha" defeats me.
So that’s my
plan. Have you given it thought? I bet some of you are already done—you rascals.
