[Wow, that image is way too bright and happy for me.]
No, that post title up there ^ is not sarcasm. I know that’s hard to believe since 90% of what comes out of me is sarcasm. But this time, I mean it. And hopefully you’ll think it’s good news, too.
Here it is. Brace yourselves… this is super exciting. (Now, *that* was sarcasm.)
After much deliberation, I have come up with a theme… so I *will* be participating in the A-to-Z challenge.
[Aside: Is it weird when I do *this* to emphasize? It’s old school… from back when the internet was born and everything was fixed-width UNIX terminal typeface. Showing my age. Please forget I said any of this.]
Where was I? Oh yes…
I missed the deadline to officially have my theme listed for the challenge, but that really doesn’t matter. I also missed ‘theme reveal day‘ which was, like, two weeks ago, but that doesn’t matter either. I could reveal it now… or I could make you wait. But if I make you wait, it might only set you up for a huge disappointment because, truly, it’s not that exciting. [Wow, am I overthinking this or what?]
I’ll just tell you. My theme is… letters. Not, like, a-b-c-d… but, like, mail. You know, letters? Those things people used to write to each other? Yeah. Those.
I had to come up with something easy because if I put too much pressure on myself, I will break. Hopefully this will work. I had to test it… so I’ve already written a few posts. I think I can get through the whole alphabet.
April 1st is Wednesday so… stay tuned.
p.s. — Oh crap. I’ve got to write a ‘p.s.’ for every letter. Hmm… Yes, I must. I’d better get on that.

Interesting. I’m looking forward to what you come up with for this one. And, they have to have a p.s., right? 😃

Definitely!
I was worried that I would get myself into a hole if I tried doing this challenge this year. That’s why I knew I had to write a few in advance to have an idea of how it might go. I wrote six letters last night! Of course, I may edit some or all of them, but at least I was able to write them. Some are serious, some funny, some sad, some silly. Some short, some long. They’re going to be pretty random.

I’m a little concerned. One minute, I’m calm about it and think it’ll go well… and the next, I start panicking. I’m a mess.

That is good news! I’m very excited to read your letters. 😀
Did you sign up for the master list for A to Z? That’s open until April 5th.
Also, I use *this* for emphasis, too, and it annoys me when some programs make it bold. I wanted my asterisks dang it!

I did sign up on the master list yesterday. I spent a few days trying to decide if I was really going to be able to do it, but now that I’ve signed up, I have to do it. At least that’s what I’m telling myself so I don’t fail!
I hate when programs make the asterisk emphasis bold, too! What’s up with that??

Good news! Looking forward to your posts. And I did not know *this* was old school. I might possibly be too old even for that! Will be a good distraction, I can’t seem to get myself motivated to write anything these days. 😬

I’ve been having trouble writing for a very longtime, as you know. It would be nice if doing this challenge gets me back into it. It’s kind of a difficult time right now, though, with the kids home all the time. It’s not that I have to entertain them or anything, but there’s really no completely quiet time. Kind of hard to focus…
