I'm an #atozchallenge minion!

I use Grammarly to correct grammar online because the Nazi in me admits it sometimes needs help.

Okay, so I've been participating in the A to Z challenge for 3 years now and this fourth year, the lovely Damyanti, who co-hosts the challenge, has graciously picked me to be a minion!!

I hope I'm a good minion and not explode in the middle and turn out like this guy:

ANYWAYS.

A to Z Challenge!

Basically... you write 26 blog posts in April, every day except on Sundays. Well, you can still post on Sundays if you want to, but it won't be part of the series. Each post starts with a letter of the alphabet, i.e. A on April 1, B on April 2, C on April 3 and so on.

Your posts can be on ANYTHING. It doesn't even need to be WRITTEN. It could be pictures, if that's what you like.

In 2011, I wrote a novelette of approximately 13,000 words just by writing a 500-word chapter each day.
In 2012, I wrote 26 separate flash fiction pieces of about 500 words each.
In 2013, I attempted to write 26 flash fiction pieces as well, but I hit a hard time at work and managed only about half.

This year... I don't know what I'm doing yet.
Flash fiction's the easiest choice.

But maybe I could try something different this year.

Any suggestions?

    Hi Anna, I recently signed up to post as a participant and think your post is interesting as it helped me to understand a little more about the things I can write. The A-to-Z Challenge is somethings I'm really looking forward to it, and maybe will become a minion like you another time.

    Way to go, Anna. Being a Challenge host is a LOT of work. Since I did it they added Minions. Such a good idea!

      Thanks Tara!
      I think you should give it a go this year :D
      You still have plenty of time to start planning your posts (or pre-writing them)

    Congrats on achieving minionhoood. It's a status worth celebrating! It's very nice to meet you!
    My advice, as a fourth year participant and 3rd year co-host is don't worry about the theme too overly much. I'm certainly in the camp of have one, because I've tried it without, but I do believe the right one will come at the right time.

      Thanks Tina!
      I've had one before, and then I didn't have one.. and I think having one does help. Have an inkling of it already so I think I'm set to go! :)
