The premise is simple:\u00a0 Blog every day except Sunday in April beginning with the Letter A and continuing until you finish with the Letter Z.\u00a0 Choose a theme or do random blogging — it’s entirely up to you.\u00a0 Don’t have a blog yet but want to play?\u00a0 Go to wordpress.com<\/a> or blogger.com <\/a>and set up a blog for yourself, then head over to the Blogging A-Z site and sign up<\/a>. Then, of course, all you have to do is write a few posts.\u00a0 It’s tougher than you might think, but certainly not overwhelmingly difficult.\u00a0 Start early and schedule your posts.\u00a0 That will leave you time to visit some of the other participating blogs.<\/p>\n

The whole idea is to discover new and interesting people.\u00a0 Some people are exploring now, and I’ve just finished logging the writers (and a few others of interest) in the first 500 to sign up to Too Many Tabs to check on later. As of this writing, 682 people have already signed up.<\/p>\n

If you’re stopping in to visit from the challenge, please consider signing up for my RandR Fiction Club to get our club newsletter (it’s every other month, so it won’t flood your inbox, and it’ll help you find your way back here easily if you forget).\u00a0 Sign up can be done in the top banner bar, the sign up box to the right in the side bar, or by clicking the checkbox after you leave a comment (make sure the address you leave in your comment is a valid address — everyone must click the validation link in their email to confirm it’s really them signing up).<\/p>\n

My theme for the challenge will be fiction — mostly short, some snippets.\u00a0 If you want the tentative title list, you’ll want to join the RandR Fiction Club — I’m sneak peeking the list in the next edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
