I’ve been thinking a lot about my plan to have no plan and to be freewheelin’ the A-Z Challenge once again, for this year.
And about ultimately how this is going to be adding more stress to this challenge than necessary. And how I don’t need any MORE stress in my life than I currently have going on (*cough*still working for a living*cough*bad week*cough*).
And so I say unto ye: this bullet shall be dodged.
Oh yes! Brothers and sisters, I have seen the light – the theme-revealing, plan ahead-ing, less stress-inducing, editorial calendar-ing light!
Hallelujah!
And I also say unto ye: I am NOT going to reveal my theme NOW, OR at the beginning OR at any point throughout the challenge.
Because I want YOU to reveal my theme!
That’s right. I’m making a game of it.
As A-Z progresses in April, let me know in the comments what you think my theme is, as you read through my daily, alphabetically-inspired posts.
Here again, is the calendar for the challenge:
Rules: You are allowed one guess per day. And the guesses have to be posted on Ye Olde Blogge, as a comment. I’m not accepting any guesses made on Ye Olde Blogge’s Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram pages.
Make it easy on yourself – subscribe to Ye Olde Blogge (subscription box on right sidebar) and let the posts come to you every day via your Inbox. It’s super easy and efficient and I won’t spam you or use your information for nefarious purposes, ever! That’s a Badass™ promise.
I won’t be commenting one way or the other on the daily guesses, other than maybe to say thanks for the guess – so I don’t spoil things for anyone commenting later in the game.
After the challenge I will reveal my theme and sum up how people did. Who guessed it first, who next, craziest most interesting guesses etc., etc.
Here is a hint:
My theme is a song title and this song was popular when I was a kid.
I feel like I’ve already said too much. I’m excited to see how many of you can figure it out, and how soon!
Rock (and guess) on,
The WB
Brilliant idea, Deb. If I weren’t already subscribed, I’d be subscribing now. Heck, maybe I should subscribe a few more times with my various email accounts just in homage to your cleverness.
Can’t wait for this challenge. And yes, very glad that you have a theme. Going theme-less does indeed sound more stressful than necessary.
Thanks Karen! I don’t feel particularly clever and coming up with an idea like this is not like me. It just popped up out of nowhere. I hope people find this enjoyable and have fun with it. That’s the point, after all.
I’m already going to call it. I’m horrible at guessing games and I predict I wouldn’t have a freaking clue … regardless of how many hints you through my way.
Let the games begin!
Hehehe! Joanne, I do love and appreciate your sense of honour. Not once during our hike today did you press me for any additional clues. You are a true gentlewoman. I hope you make some guesses. You never know. You just might land on the right answer!
omg! I suck even more at this than I thought. It didn’t even occur to me to whine for more hints!
… are you starting to see how badly this might go? 😉
🤣
I’ve never heard of this challenge and I’m looking forward to reading what you come up with each day. Who knows, maybe next year I’ll be inspired to join you. Have fun with it.
Thanks Jean! This is my 4th year doing the challenge. I enjoy it, and you might too!
Cool idea. I look forward to the challenge.
Thanks Ally!
Oh, fun! I am looking forward to my awful, awful guesses as April progresses.
Your comment is pure poetry, Sarah 😁
