#AtoZchallenge - Something New
Here is something I came across year before last, forgot about last year, and remembered just a little over time this year.
It is the a-to-z blogging challenge.
What is it? Like the name suggest blogging from a-to-z.
It is a goal setting and self aligning project you take up to get yourself into a habit of writing. Do it daily. To pique our interest in the routine and make it interesting you let your blogs be written in sync with the alphabetical sequence. This way there will be some semblance and (hopefully) you will not go off track. In case you do burn out in the middle (a natural human tendency), there would be this tingling thought somewhere at the back of your head or depths of your mind that the Alphabet is left incomplete. Also, since you publish your writings on your blog and share your blog link with the participating community as well as your regular base, you are more inclined to perform. 'Log kya kahenge' phenomenon :-P ["what will people say"].
So yes, last year I had thought 'karna chahiye' what's the harm in trying. This year, only yesterday, did I realise that it has begun. (So much for me wanting to do something with dedication!) I hadn't even researched on what all goes in in this part of the world.
I browsed through the website last night only to find out that "Theme Reveal" registrations were closed. As I went through reading the process, I realised, I am 2 steps behind but (yes, always a but!) the silver lining was that I still had time to secure a place in the master list, a list which holds the entire database of participating bloggers.
Here I am, a happy bird; looking forward to jump off my cozy nest and see if I just fly till where I find my grub or fly far and wide and explore the sky!
All this is still something new, in the last 24 hours I have read-and-reread the content on their site, gone through the Facebook page, a couple of blogs which are already posted; just to be sure I have understood it write (right :-P) - I can write on ANYthing I want! (So used to prompts until now.) The blogs could be linked to each other or not. The only conditions being they should be in the alphabetical sequence and typed daily. The series of these April blogs may or may not abide to a theme.
Having said that, since this Blogger blog is about my experiences, life and musings I will try to stick to it. No sooner have I decided this than things sort in my head on their own. I realise there was some anxiety which went bust. So now that that's identified and settle, here I (we) go.
Will take a while to get used to the fact that it is not only me who will read (well, that's what happened up until now). Hop on the bandwagon that my mind is or is it the heart! Let me know now-and-then how the ride is, I would love to hear from you.
