Last year I participated in the A to Z challenge on my daughter’s dedication website. I loved it. Each day of the challenge I dedication the posting to my daughter.

This year I’ve decided to do it for both her website as well as this one. My hope is you will join me over the next 30 days as I make my way through the alphabet from A to Z.

However, due to the challenge I need to temporarily put my 365 day writing journey on hold for the month of April. Don’t worry. I promise it will be back on May 1. I hope you enjoy this next month as much as I will.

To give you a heads up of what I plan to write about over the next month, here is each day’s word I plan to write on. Please note that because I have the weekly “The Journey” column every Friday, that my A to Z Challenge will be on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Most people will be taking Sunday’s off where was I’m moving Friday’s to Sunday’s instead.

There are a couple of the days below in red that I’m either unsure of or wish I could think of a writing related word for the letter on that day. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please leave a comment. I’d love to hear them.
