My engagement with the blogosphere has slowed down significantly due to pressing work and personal commitments. So much so, I thought I will have to give this year's A to Z Challenge next month a miss.
But, fortunately, things are easing up, and I’m confident I can participate again, just as I have for the past seven years.
The challenge involves publishing a post each day of April — except four Sundays — on a word corresponding to each letter of the English alphabet. So, that is a total of 26 posts for the month.
Now, it’s time for the "theme reveal", where participants, if they choose to, can share the subject they plan to blog about.
In previous years, I’ve sometimes chosen a specific theme, while at other times, I’ve written about random topics.
I thought this time I would pick one.
Lately, everyone has been talking about the heat — it already feels like summer. So this year, I’ve decided to focus on ‘environment and ecology.’ That will be my theme.
Now, I just need to come up with 26 related topics. Hopefully, I’ll manage!
That is a great theme! Very important topics, especially now, and especially in view of what is happening in the US in regards to the environment and safeguards.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa - Thank you. Here in India too weather patterns have gone crazy, and have become more unpredictable than what they once used to be!
DeleteGreat theme! The heat has been on my mind too. So, it's a great topic to talk about for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole - Thank you. World over it's the same problem. Unless something is immediately done on a big scale, it will be really hard days ahead.
DeleteI am following your blog and have it posted on one of my blogrolls. I like your theme and am looking forward to learning more. My theme is me, this year and I am doing an A to Z dive on what makes me tick. I have nothing written yet but many ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi Dave - Thank you. I have bookmarked your blog and will surely be looking forward to your posts.
DeleteA very relevant theme. All the best. I hope to be there too on A2Z though I'm yet to decide a theme. I generally go with something related to literature, my forte.
ReplyDeleteHi Tomi - Thank you. I will look forward to your posts.
DeleteHi Pradeep - well done on tackling another A-Z Challenge - I'm so minimal in my blogging these days, I can't imagine putting out a post every day like I did back when I was doing the challenge. I'll pop in now and then to catch up where I can. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Leanne - Thank you. I had no plans to do it this year, since over the past few months, I have hardly got time to look into blogs or post one myself. But, now looks like I will get some time in the coming months. So, I thought why not? Let me see how far it goes!
DeleteGreat theme! I am curious what topics you will select for each letter. And yes, the heat... I am not looking forward to summer as Hungary is slowly turning into a desert... The Multicolored Diary - 2025 Theme Reveal
ReplyDeleteHi Tarkabarka Hölgy:
DeleteThank you for dropping by my blog.
It'll be a challenge to figure out 26 words linked to environment. I hope to figure out in the days to come.
Not just Hungary, the whole world seems to be becoming a desert!
This is a very topical theme. I hope the posts will deal with issues like how individuals, governments, and society can prevent, minimise, or control the adverse effects of changes in the environment related to the chosen theme. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi KP, I hope to focus on those angles as well. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteOoh, well done... I've been slack on this theme the past couple of years. Must ready myself for reading and try to participate again next year! YAM xx
Hi Yamini - The topic is of interest to me. Hopefully I will be able to organise my thoughts and complete the series.
DeleteLooking forward to reading your interest A to Z challenge blog posts this year also.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rajan.
DeleteI will read the rules again when I am not in a rush and see if I will finally do that project as well...
ReplyDeleteHi Katie - Do check out ... Hopefully, you will be able to.
DeleteThat's a good choice of theme.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteVery important and relevant theme

ReplyDeleteHi Pradeep - I got completely put off once the admin changed when there was no recognition of previous participation. But I'll enjoy reading your entries - cheers Hilary

Hi Anne - Thank you. I shall hop across to your blog.
DeleteEnvironment and ecology - that's a very particular theme. I'm sure you'll come up with something interesting and enlightening.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Have a lovely day.
Hi Lissa - Hopefully, I will be able to come up with some interesting angles to the theme.
DeleteIts a good idea to discuss on ecology. I try to help my environment by reducing waste. I recycle little bits of fabric to use in art. My theme is at https://artmater.com/blogging-from-a-to-z-april-challenge-2025/
ReplyDeleteHi Cai - Thank you for dropping by. Glad to know you are doing your bit. I do the same. Individual efforts of ours will have a cumulative effect. And hopefully something will change over a period of time!
DeleteI look forward to what you come up with for each letter! Sounds like a fun and worthwhile theme :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn.
DeleteAn important theme. Good luck
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy.
