The A-to-Z Challenge is on again here at Temperature’s Rising for the fifth year, and for this round I have decided {1} to go with a theme (Woot! Go me! *laugh*), and {2} to post once for every letter of the alphabet.
As to {2} — You are probably thinking, “Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?”
Well… Yes? *laugh* But what makes you think I normally do what I’m ‘supposed’ to do? 😛
The past couple years, I have managed a theme but have combined letters. Whereas, the first two years I did this challenge, I had no theme (unless Post Something! counts as a theme?) but was able to manage 26 individual posts.
But now, since this is year number five for me, I kinda felt like I should mark the occasion by combining both skill sets. *laugh*
o_O
We’ll try it, anyway.
So here’s how it’s going to work:
- I will post, throughout the month of April, a question for each letter of the alphabet.
- You (hopefully!) will answer a few, as the mood suits you.
Deal?
They will not be terribly complicated. They will also not (all) be particularly sexy.
But I thought this would be a fun way to start a few “get to know you” type conversations — especially since some of my audience members are new(-ish) to this space — and I’m also hoping it might encourage some of my shy-er readers to peek out (or speak out) of their hiding places. 🙂
This is intended to be fun — and interactive! — and LOW KEY.
I hope you will join in!
(And if you are a blogger, and you want to join in with the month-long project on your own blog, I wrote up a little how-to a while back that you can access, here. You can also access the general A-to-Z site by clicking on the badge above.)
Meanwhile: On Friday, April 1st, my personal version of Twenty(-six) Questions will begin!
I’ve been wrestling with the lure of the A-Z challenge this year. Part of me really wants to do it, another part doesn’t want to spam my followers and the final part wonders if I have enough energy to complete a whole month challenge again.
I have enjoyed your combination posts, I look forward to your questions and answers.

It’s definitely an intense posting schedule!
If you decide to participate, I will come cheer you along. 🙂
That is a great way to get comments! I’m writing about the 1970s but am realising there is so much I can’t write about the ‘70s. I have to do the sanitised version. I’m looking forward to your questions and maybe will even answer some.

YES, I can see how the “sanitized seventies” might be necessary. *laugh*
I look forward to reading your posts.
This seems pretty fun!
Excited to play your Twenty(Six) questions!
Thanks. I’m curious what people will have to say. 🙂
Good things I’m sure!
This is the first year I have totally forgotten about the A-Z. I know I didn’t do it every year, but at least I gave it a thought every year. But this year… well, I just forgot. So I will ride along with you, and answer your questions, and maybe it inspires me to write a post of my own 🙂

I think it was off a lot of people’s radars this year, for some reason.
Thanks for joining in here, with my questions! 🙂
What a clever and simple idea. I look forward to getting to know you more through your questions.
Thanks!
And welcome. 🙂
I hope there are many who want to.
