(A)nnouncing an April A-Z blogging challenge

I found this new challenge on Ahhsome’s blog, and thought it would be a fun way to keep me going in my postaday2011 challenge as well.

How does the Challenge work?

The premise of the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge is to post something on your blog every day in April except for Sundays.  In doing this you will have 26 blog posts–one for each letter of the alphabet.   Each day you will theme your post according to a letter of the alphabet.

You will only be limited by your own imagination in this challenge.  There is an unlimited universe of possibilities.  You can post essays, short pieces of fiction, poetry, recipes, travel sketches, or anything else you would like to write about.  You don’t have to be a writer to do this.  You can post photos, including samples of your own art or craftwork.    Everyone who blogs can post from A to Z.

Some of the benefits mentioned were improvement as a blogger and a writer, greater self-discipline,  finding new blog friends, and increasing followers to each of our own blogs.

So today I start with my (A)nnouncement post for the challenge, and I tried fitting in many A’s into the post title 🙂  My goal is to do the challenge every day, to incorporate the letter of the day as much as possible in the title, and to try to blog about something with that letter and/or post some pictures I have taken related to that letter.

Anyone want to do the challenge with me?  Sign up on her blog and let me know you are doing it as well, so we can keep each other motivated 🙂  Also, let me know if you have any fun ideas I can use for specific letters.
