Hello to my old friend

Well February has ended and tomorrow is March – which means I have 31 days to figure out the A to Z Challenge. No pressure Suchita, all is well.

Hello everyone! This post was supposed to be about me chartering out my expectations from the A to Z Challenge – a daily blogging challenge set in April – but I am so far behind schedule that this is going to be more of a rant.

Considering I have been thinking about the challenge since the one in 2017 ended, I am so wholly unprepared that the theme I had locked in after months of rejecting everything my brain threw my way is starting to sound unappealing and nonsensical.

I have thought of not participating this year and rejected that idea as well – because what’s life without a little challenge *laughs and cries at the same time*

So here’s my plan of action: (sane Suchita will remember this but in case the defeatist Suchita shows up when the going gets tough, this will act as a booster…hopefully)

  1. Decide on a theme – pronto
  2. I know you want to finish your Gunslinger story and I cry your pardon Hunter but I promise I will come back to you soon
  3. Plan out your March posts now so you can stop obsessing over those and move onto April posts
  4. Go back to point 1 – repeat (once – understood? Repeat once)
  5. CALM DOWN
  6. It’s okay that the book you *really* want to get to is gathering dust on your desk. It isn’t going anywhere and it will welcome you when you’re ready to give it your undivided attention
  7. You’ve got this

Now that that is out of the way, how about we get to expectations:

I’m a simple girl so I want just two things – views and good material. Views are up to you, material is up to me. Together we can knock this out of the park.

So let’s get started.


I am taking the Challenge of April with Blogchatter, are you?

    1. Oh the struggle is real. Even once the challenge begins, you’re struggling. Best way is to ask for help.

  2. After three years I’ve decided to call it quits . Too much happening for me to put my life on hold while I blog ? ????

    1. I see your point. It does require that kind of commitment.
      But the way I see it, I’m putting everything on hold for my writing. So it’s ok.
