A to Z BLOG CHALLENGE 2017 – REFLECTION

A to Z BLOG CHALLENGE 2017 – REFLECTION

***

***

The Mystery Box Chickens and I would like to take a moment to reflect on the A to Z Blog Challenge 2017.

This year in April was the 4th time I’ve joined in on the challenge. ( 2nd time for the Chickens)

Instead of random A/Z posts about whatever, I did have a theme. It was to feature music videos with the titles being for the letter of the day.

I enjoyed finding the music, and keeping any commentary short and simple. I hope you enjoyed listening.

Thank you all so much for stopping by this month. I appreciated all your visits, likes, and comments! You are all champions to me! 🙂

“We Are The Champions”, by Queen, was released in 1977. This single from the album, “News of the World”, is on the labels, EMI (UK) & Electra (US). It was written by Freddie Mercury.

A to Z BLOG CHALLENGE – 2017 – THEME REVEAL

A to Z BLOG CHALLENGE – 2017 – THEME REVEAL

***

http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/p/what-is-blogging-from-to-z.html

***

It is almost April, and what does that mean? It means it is time for the annual A to Z Blog Challenge! This challenge is to post something every day, except Sundays, in the month of April, that follows along to the alphabet. Each day will be about something to do with the letter of the day.

I’ve participated in this for several years, and it is a lot of fun. If you’d like to join in, just click the above link to find out the details. 🙂

***

I don’t usually have a strong theme to my posts, just thinking of something on the fly, as it comes to me. I have a general idea, and do a tiny bit of planning beforehand, but most is just done stream of consciousness style. Last year was like that, except I had the ‘Mystery Box Chickens’ helping out.  I think they are ready for another A to Z Challenge. They think they are the stars of the show. What do you think? hahaha

Now for my idea for a theme. I plan on featuring a couple of songs with the titles starting with the letter of the day. Yeah, I’m going the easy route this time. I know y’all will be reading a lot of blogs during this month, some long/some short, so when you need a break, just come here and listen to some music for a few minutes. I won’t be writing much about the songs, but the ‘chickens’ might have a word or two to say. 🙂

Hope to see you here soon! Happy reading, and happy A to Z blogging!
