A to Z Blogging Challenge!

Last April, Arlee Bird set up a fantastic blogfest: blogging Monday to Saturday, using a letter of the alphabet.

And the good news? He's doing it this year, too! This time, Alex J Cavanaugh, Jen Daiker and I are all helping out, as well.

It's simple. There are 26 letters in the alphabet. There are 26 days in April (if you take out Sundays). You would blog Monday - Saturday writing a blogpost with the appropriate letter for that day. April 1 - A, April 2 - B, etc.

So... join in the fun, click the link and grab a badge because April is going to be fantastic. I'll even throw in a cupcake and a glass of wine!

  3. Did you really just ask me to schedule something in April? There's still like 18 feet of snow! I can't think about April!! In all seriousness, sounds fantastic...again. I will probably do it. Of course, I'll need constant reminders and badges in my face because you know, it's January. ;P

  4. I did this last year and had a blast, so I'm up for it again. Since it doesn't start until April I have plenty of time to play and get letters scheduled!

  10. Talli, we're rollin' and rockin' and out of the starting gates. Great way to kick things off. I'm really looking forward to this collaboration among you, Alex, Jen, and I and however many hundreds of others join the Challenge.
    Now pass me a cupcake, but let me hold off on the wine for a few hours--it's still early here.

  12. oh man oh man - nah! But I'll watch you all doing it. I'm playing my own weird blogging game today - it's called Blogging Bingo. I go to all my regular stops, make a comment then go to your blog roll - go down five and visit that site, join and comment. I'm having fun so far. Do join in...or not!

  13. A is for Amazing Alphabet blogs in April :)

  14. This will be fun. At least it gives me time to find something for x,y and z.

  15. Let me get this right, this would require daily posts on our blog? You guys are amazing.

    My blog only pubs 3x a week and Mondays are my personal blog day. The other two days I feature authors.

    Maybe on the Mondays I can do something that corresponds to the letter of the alphabet for that day and week. Perhaps I can do something with the authors scheduled. I'll have to think about this.

  22. Sounds fun, tho I think I'll pass, since I only post on Wednesdays--and I'm busy writing and critiquing, whew! It's a very innovative idea thoug.

  23. Oh my gosh, I don't know if I can blog 6 days a week... but what a fun idea! I'll have to mull it over :)

    ReplyDelete

  28. argh! You kids are killin me w/these blogfests. I signed up for Nicole's, and now this one sounds easier... sigh. maybe~

    ReplyDelete
  29. I would sign up but then I'd mess it up by either forgetting altogether, or forgetting to start with a letter, or I'd have a guest blogger who wouldn't want to start with X or whatever letter...I will come visit other blogs though. It's a great idea.

  30. Sounds like fun! I'm up for the challenge! :)

  31. Looks like a cool challenge and I look forward to checking them out but I think I'll pass. I'm not consistent enough to do a month long challenge.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Such a great idea (I remember the tail end of last years) but I just can't blog every day! I look forward to reading lots of fun posts though!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow, sounds like a great idea! How are you going to get the wine over here though?!

    ReplyDelete
  34. This sounds really awesome. I want to be apart of it but it's also the time of exams for me. I'll need to think about it!

    ReplyDelete

  37. Wow, no stress there. A blog a day. Hum...I have trouble finding time to blog three times a week. I'll have to think about this one. Thanks for the post.

  38. Wow that looks like a bit too uch commitment for me :0 Btw i think i@m doing quite well at my self-imposed read a book a week and review it challange (even tho it's ony Jan lol)I've always been a big reader and was falling down the slippery slope of browsing the internet rather than reading actual books..which i didnt want to become...do you read a lot of books being a writer yourself?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I'm definitely in..can't miss out on the cupcake! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  40. You had me at "and then I have wine." As a self-professing wineaux, I feel we will get along just fine! I found you through Rayna at Coffee Rings and am joining the fun this year! Now I'm off to buy your book for my kindle! Congrats on your first novel. The reviews in the sidebar must just thrill you! It's my dream to be there one day. Meanwhile I practice. At my blog Life is Good. Come on over if you have a chance.
