The Blogging A to Z home blog just began posting info about the 2025 challenge. I've already begun trying to come up with themes, and will start narrowing them down in time for next month's theme reveal. Be prepared for a month of alphabetical madness in April. I'm loving the graphics for this year!
Here is the schedule:
The THEME REVEAL (optional bonus hop) : March 9- 15
Official Challenge Sign-ups : March 24 to April 5
Reflections (optional bonus hop) : May 2-9
Road-trip (sign up to keep visiting others all year _ optional bonus) : Opens May 10
The challenge, as you can see in the badges, has been around for more than a decade, but I have only been going at it since 2021. I'd viewed and commented on posts by those joining in the years prior, but was unsure if I'd ever be one of them. It was many years before I decided to take the plunge. Not ready to give up now! Here are my past themes. Click on the links to begin reading.
2021: Life During the Pandemic
2022: Forgotten TV Shows
2023: Childhood Memories
2024: Barbie
I will begin drafting the posts once I pick the theme. Last year was the first time I ever scheduled my posts. It worked well with the A to Z posting schedule and with the medical procedure I had last year in mid-April. I will be scheduling them once again. The sooner I finish writing and publishing my posts, the more time I will have to read and comment on other participants' posts. It's always fun to see what others come up with and to see who comments on what.
My blog for April will primarily be A to Z posts. I don't know how often I'll get on outside the challenge, even though we will be off on Sundays. As I did last year, I may try to squeeze in a Book Blogging Challenge post on one of the Sundays. I also made some bonus posts last year, both of which were planned after the main ones had been set up. I don't know how the Thursday 13 is going to play out then, but I may try to squeeze in one for the month. I didn't begin the Thursday 13 posting until June last year.
