Things That Go Bump in the Night: A to Z Theme Reveal

Against my better judgment, I signed up for the A to Z Challenge again this year.

I also signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo.

Which means that I’m going to be writing 24/7 in April–blog posts everyday except Sunday, and 1,668 words on a novel each day, including Sunday.

During the A to Z Challenge, participants write blog posts for every letter of the alphabet, usually revolving around a central theme.

My theme for this year is Things That Go Bump in the Night.

I’ve got a great lineup planned for you–everything from scary true stories to the supernatural to some of the creepiest places in the world. I’ll even throw in a personal story or two, and–wearing my journalism hat–see if we can’t find “rational” explanations for some of this stuff. I encourage you to speak your mind–share your own stories and opinions, or–if you’ve read a great book or watched a movie on the topic, feel free to recommend them.

I realize 26 posts is a lot to read in a single month, but I promise to keep them short and sweet. As for not giving you nightmares…well, I can’t promise that.

See you tomorrow, April 1st, which will be a combined post day–Insecure Writers’ Support Group and A is for Annabelle.

Hey, sounds like fun.

I’d never be able to do both AtoZ and CampNaNo. I’m already all messed up with AtoZ alone.
Good luck for both… though I have a feeling you’re all set 🙂

Hey JazzFeathers,

What’s your theme for the month? Please send me the link so I can support you. A to Z is TOUGH. There were several times last year that I wanted to give up, but I made a ton of new friends and discovered some great blogs.

And I can always use luck. Thanks for the kind words!

Whew! Good luck to you! Your theme sounds like something I’ll enjoy, although I might have to read the posts in big chunks, playing catch up. 🙂

Thanks, Madeline. As long as I know you’re here, I’ll be smiling, even if you check in every few days. Thanks for the support! Have an awesome day.

Oh wow. I can’t wait to read your posts but I can’t imagine doing two challenges at once!

JH on March 31, 2015 at 9:38 pm

I’m looking forward to yours as well, Stephanie! As for the challenges, yeah, I’m a bit crazy, but I need to write that much on the WIP everyday anyways.

I’m mostly doing it for motivation, and to keep me honest.
