A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal


Happy Monday!

Last year, I decided that I was going to begin deciding May 2014 if I was going to participate in the A to Z Challenge in 2015. So, this February, I decided that yes, I would, and I was going to schedule my posts so that I wouldn't struggle the way I did in 2013. I will be posting this year in my April Dailies, and might even have a chance to still post on some of my normally scheduled days here, but I won't hold anyone to reading over here. Now I will have a chance to actually go around and read other people's posts and themes!

Speaking of themes, this is a BLOGFEST! Hence the logo sitting up there. I juggled a few in my head. Favorite songs, favorite books, favorite musical artists, but you know what, I'm going basic this year, and I'm providing a special list this year, a list that will get your creative juices flowing in the simplest way.

Wait for it.

Okay that's enough. My theme for the 2015 A to Z Challenge is


I know it's kind of weird, but it's something we as writers use often and without thinking about it until we want to say something other than "His eyes were blue" or "Her hair is bright red." So I'm providing some of my favorite color alternatives for you all!

Good luck this year. I can't wait to see what everyone else is doing.

(There's still time to do this, if you're mad! Here is the sign-up list for the A to Z Challenge: http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/p/a-to-z-challenge-sign-uplist-2015.html)

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Color alternatives - that will be handy!

Diana Wilder said...

Hmmmm... Colors... I'm definitely intrigued! And you're right: just this morning I was eyeing a passage in my WIP that I wasn't sure about, and I made the font color red so I would be sure to see it when I skimmed tonight. Count me in!

Chrys Fey said...

That's interesting. I'll have to take notes. :) I'm curious to see what you came up with for some of the odd letters like Q, V, X,Y, Z.

Tasha Duncan-Drake said...

Great theme :). I, like Chrys Fey, will be most interested to see what you have come up with for the troublesome letters of the alphabet because my sister and I are using colours on one of our blogs as well and we had to make some slightly odd choices :).
