Why I am taking up the #AtoZChallenge?



This is a question that I have been asking myself and in turn one that many of my friends in the blogging world are asking me! Especially since I enrolled my name in the list pretty late, second week of March (I am signed up as Relax-N-Rave: No 1047)! What pushed me to do that, especially this late?

Well, I had been hearing a lot about this challenge since quite some time, but never gave it further thought after I learned it was to be month-long daily posting challenge. 

Given the fact that I have never published more than two posts a week, I consider/ed it to be a next to impossible task for me to pull off!

Believe it or not I signed up for the challenge on an impulse when all I could see and hear around me was A to Z on Twitter and Facebook.

The buzz and the excitement surrounding this challenge is tremendous and mighty contagious I tell you....how else do I explain my decision, especially when I had no intention to pursue it in the first place!

As typical of me, jump first, think later....I signed up and only later ventured to check out the rules! Not sure all of 'em have registered with someone so rule-allergic as me!

The theme reveal has to happen on March 21st...gee, I am not sure I want to take up a theme!
Folks are talking about pre-scheduling posts, many have in fact already written all the posts and waiting for the gunshot to go off on April 1st!

Some wonderful platforms for bloggers are helping out many like me at sea with their insightful and helpful tips and tricks with their past experiences with the Challenge to help us tide through the exciting month of Apr'16! Thanks people!

Folks wish me luck to persevere and pull this off! 

Fingers crossed, pounding heart, AToZ here I come!



I am staking claim to A to Z Challenge along with Blogchatter community

My recent post What Is Your Word #MondayMusings
All the best,Kala.. I did it one year and it was so much fun. Couldn't do it last as it was my 1st trimester & I didn't have the energy.. This year my 4 month old is about to keep me busy & again devoid of energy,so again a no. Hopefully next year... Have fun. It's quite an experience I must say..
I think you did absolutely right in enroling! Yes, the AtoZ is a lot of work, but well worth it.

Last year was my first year, and if I can give an advice, it is pre-schedule everything you can. I only had one week worth of posts last year, and although that probably saved my challenge, it was hell running after the remaining posts. Above all, it took a lot of time out of networking, which was a complete shame, because networking is actually the most the fun :-)

Have a lot of fun!
My recent post Rain and the Cliffs of Moher
Welcome to the wonderful world of the April A to Z Challenge! ☺ I'm equally rule-allergic but haven't found any issues in the three years I've been doing this. Yes, it's rugged but also fun. The relationships your will form and the exposure your blog will get are invaluable. Best wishes for a great experience!

And talking about rules . no one will know you have flouted the rules unless they are following you everyday of the month. Just be flattered if you get such diligent followers.
