A Peek into April

Monday, March 21st, 2016 By Deborah

atoz-theme-reveal-2016 v2

Once again this April I’m going to be joining hundreds of others playing in the month-long Blogging from A-to-Z Challenge, the annual event that invites bloggers to write their way through the alphabet.  Given my penchant for creating abecedariums, how can I resist?

Today we’ve been encouraged to “reveal” our theme – what we’ll be spending our month writing about.

I’ve been talking for quite some time about my love for manifestos and the fact that I’ve never written one.  But here’s a glorious opportunity for me to write not one, but 26 of them!  Or maybe just one with 26 sections.  But in any case by the end of April you’ll have a pretty clear idea of what I love; what I believe; what I’m committed to.  Of course if you’ve been hanging around here for a while you’ll already know one of the things I love is words, particularly unusual words, so I’m going to up the challenge factor and try to base my entries on unusual words that delight me.  Sounds like fun doesn’t it?

I certainly hope you’ll stick around and hear me out – a good manifesto needs an audience don’t you think?

And I hope you’ll consider playing along as well.   There’s still time to join here, and you know I’d love to read your abecedarium.

Have you ever written a manifesto?  Have something you want to declare with passion?  Do tell – you know I’d love to hear.

    • April will indeed be a blast. Looking forward to a beautiful blitz of writing and reading and discovering.

  9. Hi Deborah! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I like your theme! It should be a fun challenge for you and something very interesting for the rest of us. I’m looking forward to them. Nice to “meet” you!

  11. That’s a great idea as a theme for the A-Z Challenge. I wonder what your manifesto from A to Z will be like in the end. Have fun!

    • Thanks for the good wishes Sophie. Here’s to a fabulous April filled with surprises.

  14. I’m looking forward to your month of unusual words. You’ve already got a great start with manifesto. That’s not a word you hear a lot these days. Wishing you a wonderful challenge month!

    • Thanks Deb. Wishing you a wonderful challenge month as well. There’s lots of fun afoot I think!

      • No problem Djinnia. There’s lots of fascinating topics being covered and lots of visits to make. It’s going to be a fabulous April!

  18. ooh, a manifesto! I love that idea. Everyone should have a good manifesto at least once in their lives. This gets me thinking. Maybe I should write one… after April. 🙂

    • I’d love to read yours Jen! After April of course. And in the meantime I’ll be enjoying your challenge posts. Happy April!

  20. I don’t think I’ve ever written a manifesto, but I can be counted on for a good rant now and then.

    Thanks for visiting my blog today! I’ll see you during the Challenge.

  21. In my mind manifestos was for politicians… I’m sure there is much more to it… A unique theme indeed. Looking forward to your posts.. 🙂

    • Manifestos certainly have been widely associated with politics, but I always find it interesting when people declare boldly and publicly what they value and what’s important to them. Wishing you a fun challenge Archana!

    • We can never have too many words can we? 🙂 Looking forward to your posts as well Rhonda.

    • Thanks for the kind words Stephanie! There IS something fascinating about manifestos isn’t there? Wishing you a wonderful April and a fabulous challenge.

    • What a great manifesto – thanks for pointing it out Amy. Wishing you a fabulous challenge, and hopefully you’ll get to do some writing outdoors.

  26. Such a unique idea! I’ve never considered writing a manifesto but I may after observing your journey! Will definitely be back!
    Thanks for stopping by my blog! Great to meet you. I’m collecting blogs for my April journey and love the plethora of ideas. This is going to be a blast!

    • Thanks for returning the visit Yolanda. I agree, I think April will indeed be a blast. And I hope you do create a manifesto!

  28. Off we go, on another Deborah trip through Wonderland! I am doing the challenge and having fun finding SO MANY BLOGGERS! Over 1200 have joined this challenge. Wow.

    • LOL. Glad you’re coming on the trip Amy. And it really IS awesome isn’t it – so many bloggers, so many treasures!

    • Hooray for laughter and the court jesters who provide it! Be seeing you in April Tamara and I’ll bring my science hat. Which I hope isn’t mistaken for a dunce cap.

    • I’ve got my eyes peeled. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Jemima, and I look forward to visiting your world(s) in April.

  33. I am so glad you posted about this. Just the push I need to finish updating my site and get back to writing. I think I am going to write an A-Z of awakening authenticity. Whew! Sounds ambitious.

    i LOVE your theme, by the way and can’t wait to read your manifestos.

    • Sounds fabulous! So glad you’re going to play along Cynthia – I look forward to your posts.

  34. Ooohhh….a full month of manifestos. How delightful! Will have to make sure I stop by and check them out.

  35. Ya know I had to look ‘manifesto’ up in the dictionary. I’ve heard it used before, but I decided I needed to know more exactly what it entailed. My dictionary stated the definition of manifesto as a ‘public declaration of policy and aims’. I may just need to think on that a bit more and write one of my own….thanks for the inspiration!

    • You can be sure I’d love to read a manifesto of yours Debbie. Hope you get around to doing one.
