A-Z challenge and a guest post request


It's that time of year again. April just around the corner.

Anybody else doing the A-Z challenge?

I definitely am. Really I consider last years A-Z challenge as the major start of my blogging career. I've been blogging since 2009, but that's when things got serious, when I started getting in touch with some really awesome bloggy people. So yeah, I recommend the A-Z challenge.

Although many people are doing a theme, we're just going to stick with the regular (totally random crap) writing stuff around here. Are any of you doing a theme? Or have you started prepping, any ideas so far?

So there's that. Now for guest posts.

Something really sudden and random and exciting is coming up. Stay tuned for more info, but basically it involves me not being at my computer for a couple weeks and needing other peeps to fill in with guest posts. Anyone interested? I'm pretty open to ideas and suggestions, just shoot me a message (my email is in the contacts tab up there) and we'll work something out.

Oh, another thing I wanted to mention to look forward to is a book coming up. Not the short story collection yet. (Gah!!) This is one I've been working on sort of secretly, a short little non-fiction piece about having Turner Syndrome, what the real deal is with that. I have a terrible habit of talking about plans for the future here before things are solidified and then they change and I feel flakey, but really going to try to get this one out soon, as in hopefully within the next week. I'm going to upload it on the Kindle, and maybe try out CreateSpace as well. (Anyone have suggestions on that?) So yeah, like I said, just a very short little something for anyone curious. Mostly so when people ask me questions I can say "Go buy my book."

And here we go.

I'm still a bit on the fence concerning the 2012 Blogging from A-Z challenge, mainly because I am yet to finish the first draft of my book, Guardians and the Lost Paradise. But who knows, the A-Z challenge might be able to help me get my creative juices flowing again.

I'm happy to hear that you have a non-fiction book coming out soon. Best of luck with that. I've been meaning to try my hands on some non-fiction too, but haven't really decided on an ideal subject matter.

I'm thinking about the A-Z challenge. I think it's a great idea to keep you blogging and at the same time, it's a bit daunting.

good luck with your book.

Hi Sarah, I just tagged you in the "Lucky 7" Meme on my blog (http://audreykalman.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/the-lucky-7-gift-backing-into-editing/) No pressure to respond or carry on, merely enjoy.

The A-Z Challenge terrifies me! But I'm really looking forward to reading all of the posts!

Last year's challenge was very freeing for me--learned so much.
So you betcha I'm doing the A 2 Z this year! See you around the bend.

I'm doing the challenge. I have no idea what I will be writing about, and no theme.

I've never done a guest post. Wouldn't have a clue what to write about :-(

Well, I'm all about the 'no idea' today. Sorry!
