In the past few years, I’ve seen bloggers participate in the Blogging From A to Z Challenge. After picking a theme, they post something about that theme every day during the month of April (not including Sundays). I’d considered doing it, but this is the first year I’ve actually done the necessary work of picking a theme and outlining a list of posts.
So throughout the month of April, I’ll be posting on the theme of: Story Stuff.
April 30th UPDATE – The challenge is complete! Enjoy your topics of interest, all full of story stuff goodness.
A – Agency
B – Best friends (supporting characters)
C – Conflict
D – Dialogue
F – Foreshadowing
G – Growth (arcs)
H – Humor
M – Men
N – Names
O – Onomatopoeia and other sensory words
P – Point of view
Q – Questions
R – Romance
S – Stereotypes
T – Tenses
U – Underwear (know thy characters)
W – Women
X – eXclamation marks and other punctuation
Y – Young characters
Z – Zippers and other seemingly minor details
Thanks for reading along and for commenting along the way. It would be way less fun without you. 🙂
