The A to Z April Blogging Challenge sign up starts today!
You’ll remember how much fun we didn’t have last year, when the sign up list was abandoned in favour of daily link-ups.
During February the team ran a survey to gather views of how best to run the challenge this year. The survey only finished on Friday, so I think they’ll have been working hard over the weekend to get the mechanisms sorted out. The use of Google Forms and something else I don’t know about were floated.
So, I don’t know what the form of the sign-up will take until they publish it… but they said in February that sign-up would be from TODAY.
And the customary Theme Reveal would be on March 19th.
Will I do the A to Z Challenge this year?
In January I was absolutely determined not to. But when I completed their survey, I wasn’t so sure. I think the A2Z is addictive. There’s something very special about thousands of bloggers posting every day and visiting other people and leaving comments. Yes, it’s hard work, and many of the blogs are not up my street.
But when all’s said and done, it is the best showcase for my blog that I can find.
So…. I still haven’t decided. I’ll have to see what they’ve said on their blog today. And follow the instructions for the challenge sign up. 🙂
I hope it goes ahead this year in a format that suits you and doesn’t get abandoned part way.

I did the survey too, but I won’t be taking part. I did two and that got it out of my system!
You pretty much said what I feel–I have been determined not to, but as the time approaches… still, I can showcase my blog almost as well (or better, if it goes like last year) simply by visiting a lot of blogs, because frankly last year all I got were visits back from people I visited.
Aaannnd… it looks like we have a master sign-up list, though it’s a Google Docs list rather than a Linky List. But still, a master list, which was what was missing last year. Bother. Now I’m really waffling. Part of me says I’m past this in my writing/blogging life. But part of me knows I need all the exposure I can get.
I’ve signed my blog about my chronic illness up, but still unsure if I’ll do it for my writing blog.
Well, I’ve signed up… i’ll reveal the theme in a couple of weeks 🙂
