| A WORLD OF CRIME |
Arlee
Bird’s A to Z Blogging Challenge is a stimulating, month of April dare for
bloggers who want to challenge themselves to write twenty-six blog posts, one
for each letter of the alphabet. Because I write, read, and breathe mystery
novels, as a nod to this widely-encompassing genre, my theme for the challenge
is:
A WORLD of CRIME
So many
of the alphabet letters offer obvious choices (a for autopsy; b for ballistics;
c for crime; d for dagger)
that I double-challenged myself to skip the more evident of choices for
each letter and discover words, topics, names, or locations that require
a bit more original thought (almost as though I were creating titles for Sue
Grafton’s mystery novels.)
The
second half of my double-challenge was to confine my blog posts to:
Exactly 200 Words Each
As of
10:08 a.m. March 23, eleven hundred seventy-eight people have signed up for
this alphabet tour, and time will not permit anyone to read every post. My
shorter posts should help to keep everyone moving along.
While
#posts of 140 @characters might be a bit too challenging to write, I plan to visit
all the blogs of tweeters who use the hashtag #atozchallenge.
I'll be looking forward to your posts, especially as I'm just getting into crime writing :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely idea---I'm going to try and limit the word count of my stories too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prompts!
