April Blogging from A to Z Challenge

#AtoZChallenge BINGO!

It's Sunday, a.k.a. Break Time, a.k.a. Visiting Day. And we have a game for you!

In 2017 J Lenni Dorner made an A to Z Bingo, just for fun, and we decided this would be a great time to revive the tradition. So, here is your A to Z Challenge Bingo card for 2022!

You can share your wins and results in your Reflections post in May, or with us in the comments.

Enjoy!

#AtoZChallenge Better Book Discovery

#AtoZChallenge 2022 Blogging from A to Z Challenge letter

The team's theme of the April Blogging from A to Z Challenge this year is:
ACCOMPLISHING YOUR DREAMS, AND THE DUALITY OF 22

It's letter "B "day on the A to Z Challenge blog. It is said that the second day of any challenge is the hardest. Motivation is pelted with realizations of the commitment needed to succeed. Scheduling and prioritizing become tangible instead of theoretical (inked-in instead of penciled-in 🖋🖉).

Banish the voices that say you can't do this. Hundreds of bloggers JUST LIKE YOU have completed the challenge successfully for over a decade. Don't bow out!

What benefit can come from completing the challenge? Building a better blogging community, for one.

And if you're using your blog to write a book, you might publish it one day!

Attention!! Attention!! The Blogging from A to Z 2022 Challenge has begun!! ( #AtoZChallenge )

The team's theme of the April Blogging from A to Z Challenge this year is:
ACCOMPLISHING YOUR DREAMS, AND THE DUALITY OF 22

Are you ready? Are you ready? !!!

Yeah, I said it twice. Duality you know. And I just want to make sure you're there for the Challenge. I've got my posts all finished other than a few inserts I'll make along the way to keep things topical. This is my first year for finishing every letter post ahead of time. Whew! What a relief! Now maybe you'll see more of me in your comment sections.

How about you? Did you prepare ahead? Or are you just winging it. Either way it's all okay. This is your personal Challenge. You're not competing against anyone else. You're only up against yourself. Can you do it? Will you finish?

We think you can. In fact we know you can. We've done it and so have many of you. If it's your first time then I assure you that you'll be fine if you just don't stress out about it. This is supposed to be fun. Are we having fun yet? Hey, it's only the first day.

You can do it!

How much preparation did you do ahead of time? What advice would you give to other bloggers who might be concerned about whether they can finish this Challenge? What is the biggest obstacle that you are facing in regard to finishing the Challenge this year?
