Maybe I’m Amazed

Crocus Beacon Hill Park – about 2 weeks ago – how time flies!


random blog posts, more ideas coming up for A-Z.

  • Max 300 words, may even push myself down to 150, 
  • things that amaze me, everyday, write max 300 words about something that amazes me
  • 300 positive words a day – would def have to push this one down to 150 – wow, not that it’s that hard to find positive things to write about – but everyday, Monday – Saturday, in April, following the letters of the alphabet.  It’s that letters of the alphabet business that would make that topic tough.  
  • A-Z Victoria
  • A word a day – chosen randomly from the dictionary.  There would at least be plenty of words to choose from, though the random part could make it tricky.   Al over at How to be Liked… writes a wordy blog about words; gives me an idea on how to make the word posts more interesting.
  • Influences – again, the alphabet part would be tricky.
  • Bread – my bread posts are popular.  It’s like the food posts.  People liked the food posts, so I wrote more about food, now people like the bread posts…maybe I should write more about bread.  A-Z bread…..huh.  Whaddya think? Bread is really expensive in Victoria.  $5.00 for a decent loaf. That’s insane, especially when you consider how much wheat Canada grows.  Why do we have to pay so much for decent bread here?  In fact, good quality food in Victoria is insanely expensive.   See! I’m already negative!  273 words – would def have to keep positive posts under 200 for sure!
  • Also because I’m taking this web design course at Camosun, and the whole idea is to sell my services as a content creator, maybe I should write A-Z posts on random topics/businesses/products and make every post ‘pro’?

But wait a minute…I’ve got homework to do!

Help me out here – what do you think would make a good A-Z topic for me this year?  Any ideas?

A-Z Challenge: Places I’ve Lived

I must be nuts, I’m doing it again!  And I’m moving again.  In the middle of the challenge.  It makes me think I should blog about moving.  I could also blog my poems.  As I write this I’m really not sure what I’ll blog – but for some insane reason, I’m doing it again! As if I haven’t got enough to do.

Thing is, I think I may have learned a thing or two about writing a blog post in the last year, and doing the A-Z was a great kick start.  My goal for this challenge is to keep it under 500 words.

For some people that’s easy – but for me, as my 11th grade English teacher wrote on an essay I wrote about town planning (!!!): “You have mastered the extended form, now work on brevity.”

So folks that’s the only goal I have for now in this A-Z.  Under 500 words.  I’d like to even keep it under 300.  See you in the A-Z.

And I just got an idea – I’m going to blog about the places I’ve lived – and if I think I can handle it, I’ll do 2 blogs (now I know I am nuts!)  I might just get brave enough to blog A-Z poems on my other blog…let’s see if I can pull it off! No no no no – one is ENUF ALREADY!  A-Z Places I’ve Lived!  Could get interesting!
