Other friends have enjoyed it, and I've been posting daily for years, so I'm comfortable going for a month with an alphabetical theme. However, most of my posts are fiction, dialogues or monologues. Would that kind of content be welcome, even among the bloggers who hopped genres? Or would I be working in the more conventional blogging format?John Wiswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416044628686736927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-10164158027186834262013-03-09T03:52:42.737+00:002013-03-09T03:52:42.737+00:00Great, great advice.

In fact, we discreetly and without fanfare, visit those who get little attention and try to bring further awareness of them.<br /><br />Our blog does not have a genre, as such. My human and I do variety. Wishing all who do participate in the challenge, do so in the spirit you allude to. And not do it to accumulate 'followers', or blatantly self-promote. <br /><br />Diane, an excellent and informative posting.
