"Words.Words.I play with words, hoping that some combination, even a chance combination will say what I want" -Doris Lessing
April is around the corner folks and the Blogging World is gearing up for yet another A to Z Challenge 2020.
Last year, I had jumped in at the nick of time, without a theme and without preparation, and had landed up burning the midnight oil. But what a time I had! I found some wonderful friends from the blogging zone who held my hand for the entire year, and opened up new doors of the wonderful writing world. I am so grateful to A to Z 2019 for that.
This year I am a tiny little veteran (Ha!), having taken my lessons in ‘A to Z Management’. I HAVE A THEME!
My theme for the A to Z Challenge 2020 spearheaded at two levels by Arlee Bird and Richa Singh is,
I love rhyming. And I love researching History books. So, I decided to bring the two together and present tiny events from history- people, places, books, science, incidents- whatever interesting pieces I could find and turn them into a poem.
I hope to make my little pieces enjoyable, easy and breezy reads for all of you. I hope you go back from this page with a desire to find out a little more of what I tell you here. I wish to ignite that spark!
At the same time, I hope I can read lots of new bloggers/writers and meet like-minded people in this journey.
So, see you all, right here, each day starting April 1, 2020!
Awesome theme!
