This Year's A to Z Challenge Theme

When I signed up to do the A to Z challenge this year I completely forgot that I was going to be away for almost the entire first week of the challenge....eek!  With that in mind I decided to go with a slightly less research heavy topic than the one I was holding over from last year.  Which makes me a little sad because I really wanted to do it but really excited because instead I am going to talk about something that really presses on my mind all the time.

My theme for this year is going to be a person, place or thing list of stuff I have always wanted to write about.  I don't know about you but I have entire notebooks and tons of scraps of paper everywhere with words, phrases and sentences on them of stuff that popped into my head that I thought would make a good story.  Or at least a good jumping point for a story.

So I have decided to make an alphabetical list of them and put a little research into them, with the hope that next year's A to Z will feature short stories based on these topics.  Reach for the stars right?

I hope everyone has a fabulous April and a great A to Z Challenge.  I am looking forward to seeing what everyone does this year and finding some great new blogs to read.  After I get back from lounging in the sun that is.
