I decided to take part in the April AtoZ Challenge again this year, it feels like only yesterday that I completed the last post in April 2011 and I thoroughly enjoyed it, met some really great individuals through their blogs and felt that I had grown somewhat from the experience. See my post reflections.
As a newbie you should definitely check out the Sommer's hints and tips for preparing and pace yourself, writing as much before hand as you can to give you the opportunity to visit as many blogs as possible. As you can see there are over 1100 people taking part and you will connect with some very inspiring individual, it was an online feast! All you have to do is add your name to the list!
Think out of the box as to what you will write about, maybe choose something that your interested in. Over the next week I will be sharing my topic and try to get myself physically as well as mentally prepared for the challenge
You will definitely have an amazing amount of fun taking part and you might even surprise yourself in the process. Check out the FAQs page. You can go see some of the participants and check out their pages and their advice. I definitely recommend that you step out of the boat and dip your feet in, you will definitely come out the other end with a different perspective on things! Sign up below and start thinking about what you might blog about!

The brainchild of Arlee Bird, at Tossing it Out, the A to Z Challenges to post the
letter of the alphabet every day during the month of April, with Sundays off
for good behavior. Since April 1 falls on a Sunday, that will be the day we
start with A. Whether you go with a theme or freestyle, your post must match
the letter of the alphabet for that day. Add your name to the list, grab the badge
