And today!!!! It's time to signup for the theme reveal blog hop for the A to Z Blogging Challenge. The theme reveal is one of my favorite days of the challenge. It's really inspiring to see what creative and clever ideas bloggers come up with. Some are impressive with the amount of research the blogger is doing. Some are writing challenges. Some are fun and entertainment challenges. Others are artful with crafts or cooking ideas. Then there are the ones who will be recommending books. I always add to my TBR pile during April. And you still have a month if you haven't decided on a theme yet so you can sign up for the reveal even if you're still undecided.
Thinking about your blog and how effective it is? Here's a short article by Brian A. Klems of Writer's Digest with the 12 Dos and Don'ts of Writing a Blog. You've probably heard some of it before, but it never hurts to see if there's something you could do better.

Today is the full snow moon but let's hope that's only an old traditional name and not an ominous warning.Tara Tyler has a new book out. Check out Jolissa: An Anti-Princess Story.
Jolissa thinks an adventure will bring her happiness. She's got a lot to learn, and being so stubborn, she'll have to do it hard way.
I finally completed all my paperwork for one of my secretarial positions in preparation for the upcoming board meeting. It will be nice to spend my time on actual writing. Though after the board meeting, I'll have even more secretarial work to do.
Did you sign up for the theme reveal for A to Z? Know your theme? Need to learn more about plotting and writing fast? Any of the blogging tips sound new to you?

Hi Susan - I saw Andrew's post .. so will be back to read. Signed for the A-Z theme reveal ... and see you around and there; interesting, informative content is the king for blogging .. cheers Hilary
Hey, congratulations to Tara! I missed that.
All signed up for the reveal. Went simple this year. Well, simple for me...
I'd like to learn how to plot and write faster!
Well. I thought today WAS the theme reveal so I'm afraid I jumped the gun a bit.
I've signed up for the Theme Reveal, but I don't have a theme yet. I hope to have one figured out by March 21st. :)
Congratulations to Tara! I love Jolissa!!
Yeh for Tara!
I probably won't do A-Z this year. I do love reading all the great posts, though - and I hear you about adding to the TBR list. Not only books, though, but movies and websites etc, too. :)
I found it interesting with the blog tip not to limit word count and some readers enjoy posts containing more than 500 words. I hope people doing the A/Z don't take that blogging advice; short and sweet for that is a good thing :) Did sign up for the A/Z reveal; getting excited for it.
betty
The cat just wings it with the A to Z, but it all rhymes, that works, right? lol
I am amazed at how much Andrew writes. And woo-hoo for Tara! It's such a fun story. :) Have a terrific week.
I'm not participating with my own blog, but the IWSG site has a theme this year.
Thanks for the reminder that the reveal list is open. Oh my is all I can think when hearing about new books. My TBR list is so long and waiting. I can't imagine adding anything else. I have two books beside my chair now. Cheers.
I'm on the blog hop with C. Lee McKenzie, et al. I like your blog, Susan. I'll join the blog, too. Thanks for these links to other tips for writers. Good luck with your A to Z Challenge.
I'll have to check out the WD blogging post. I'm such a sucker for stuff like that.

Tossing It Out
I might sign up for the challenge.
I have a theme if I do. We'll see what happens.
Our theme this year is laziness. Going along with that, we'll not be posting every single day, and we also have nothing to reveal. That counts, right?
After last year, I said I wouldn't do A to Z but now I feel as though I'm missing out. Oh well. Next year will come soon enough. :)

Just sighned up for the theme for the A to Z.
Yvonne.
Already signed up! Can't wait. Although my theme reveal is more like an unreveal to anyone who knows me. :P
Nice article by Brian Klems. Thanks for linking to it.
I've decided to sit out the A to Z challenge again this year and try to focus on exercise and writing. We'll see how that goes...
Can't believe it's just over a month to April. Still undecided... need to see if I can come up with a theme.
