My A to Z Challenge Prep

Are you getting you “ish” together for the A to Z Challenge starting April 1st? You have 26 days. Yup, 26 days. 1 day for each letter of the Alphabet. Get started now and you should be prepared come the first day of April.
Are you a Panster or Plotter?
This is what my Excel Spreadsheet looks like…




It’s a tad blurry… on purpose… I don’t want to give away all my secrets. Even though if you look hard enough, I'm sure you can figure some of it out.
I have 5 Genre's + 26 letters each = 130 topics. Granted I had to get a little creative with the typical BRAIN-BURNER letters like Q, X, and Z.
Seems like I have a lot to cover in April. Hence the word CHALLENGE. I am willing to challenge myself. Are you?
Not that you need several categories to feel challenged, but I hope you are pushing your envelope a little.
I have gotten 3 of my A’s done. See the highlights?
Gotta go. I have more work that needs to be done!
Live long and prosper… Good luck!

  1. That's organized! I just have a notebook with a page dedicated to each letter and ideas in place.

    1. There's nothing wrong with good 'ol paper and pen.

      A spreadsheet looks better than my scribbles all over the place. This way I can at least read my ideas.

  2. Wow! I also have a spreadsheet, it is no where as in-depth as yours.

    1. Spreadsheets!

      I'm one of those who like to take on waaaay too much. I WILL be stopping by your page everyday in April. I KNOW you'll have some great posts!

  3. Do you do it categories because you post on these topics regularly, or you plan on posting 5 entries in one day? Or you just intend to use the ideas later?

    1. Awesome q's! I picked 5 of my favorite categories to talk about, which I am planning on posting 5 entries each day in April. My first Category is (no surprise) Zombies. With each Letter, I found a matching Zombie reference (movie, actor, book, author, etc). I continued this through 4 more topics.

  4. I'm a panster that plots with a small outline. You're way more organized than I'll ever be. Chaos is my middle name. LOL

  6. I can't wait to see what you post about. I feel so bad now, I only have 1 post per letter, and I'm pretty much doing it by the seat of my pants and procrastinating til the last minute.
