Want to Make Friends with D’s Company? #atozchallenge

By 30/03/2016March 31st, 2016writing

Last year I took a break from the A to Z Challenge, but this year I’m back to co-hosting it, and it starts in two days! (Signups HERE)

To those new to this: The Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is basically about blogging 26 days in April, based on the 26 letters of the alphabet. To know why this challenge can transform your blog for the better, read this!

For my challenge, I’m going to write about the non-profit Project WHY, and bring you stories from some everyday heroes.

Here a few things to keep in mind if you’re taking part in the A to Z Challenge: (the tips below are in an image so you can pin or share it, active links are in the line above) :

This will mean a work in the background for the A to Z challenge co-hosts and their teams. Frankly, I’m lost without mine, many of them are veterans not only of the challenge but have worked with me as a team before. Helping me with my co-hosting duties is the fabulous D’s Company. If you’re looking for good blog friends, go find my friends Guilie Castillo , Samantha Geary Jones , Misha Gericke, Andrea Michaels, Vidya Sury and Soumya Prasad. You won’t regret it, promise.

I’m working hard to make sure each post brings some value to you, but please bear with me if 6 posts a week seem like too many. It is only for this month. The blog shall return to its regular twice-a-week schedule in May.

    Wish I could participate, Damyanti! But the timing is totally off for me. I’m snowed under and we have to major sales pushes in April at my job so I’ll be working more hours. To say I’ll be ecstatic when April is over is an understatement! Maybe next year, I hope. Cinda

    Can’t wait to start this challenge.
    Go TeamDamyanti!

  • I got all excited about AtoZ last year, hoping for this year, but it just didn’t work. The busi-ness that got in the way is over so I am definitely thinking next year. I’ll be tracking you-all though!

    • Damyanti Biswas says:

      Next year, then! Hope to see you here through the challenge!

    I wouldn’t dream of apologizing for the flood of posts in April! Damyanti! Love and hugs – thrilled to be with you! Let’s rock it this year. I am actually working on planning posts – four blogs is a lot of work even for me to pantser it! I will be ever grateful to you for introducing me to the fabulous AtoZ. And wow, what a super group we are! Love the graphic!

  • This is a lovely shout-out, Damyanti — and I’m so proud to be asked back to your A2Z team! Just checked the sign-up list, by the way, and it’s over 1600 already! It’s going to be an exciting month, and I’m glad I get to share it with you and the wonderful group of co-conspirators you’ve put together this year. Looking forward to it!
