It’s that time again! Time to share our themes for this year’s A-Z Challenge!
I have to admit I was unsure about taking part this year. However, after weeks of pondering I’m here and my 2019 collection of stories is well underway!
Once again, throughout April I will be writing daily Flash Fiction with a modest word limit of around 250. From my twelve years of short story blogging, I’ve learned that the briefer the tale, the more readers you get!
So here goes!
I’ll be kicking off with one called ‘Are we there yet?’ Hopefully, we’ll meet up again on April 1st.
2018 – My Friend Rosey – episodes A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
2017 – Amble Bay – episodes A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
2016 – Stories using forgotten words – episodes.A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S
I’m looking forward to reading your posts. A to Z is a great challenge too.
Hi, and thank you. Good to see you again!
Looking forward to your posts.
I’m having fun getting them ready – I just hope they go down well! Cheers Denise
Sounds like fun! I’ll be participating too😊
Looking forward to following you again this year Elizabeth
Looking forward to it. I wasn’t going to do it this year but changed my mind. But won’t be reading and commenting much till after we get back from Disney on the 8th.
Say hello to Mickey Mouse for me and have a great time!
This is going to be fun! As usual, i have no theme, i just meander.
I wouldn’t expect anything else from you! Fun fun fun!
The “Are we there yet” opening started me off with a smile. Glad you decided to do the A to Z again. I hope I can keep up with everything.

Tossing It Out
That’s probably the most used phrase by kids so I thought it perfect to kick off my month! Thanks for hosting once again.
Sounds like a fun challenge. I’ll be following you through it.
I hope you have fun with my kids! Thanks so much.
Great theme 🙂 Looking forward to your stories!

Very kind of you, thanks.
Great to see you’re back. I have enjoyed both the Rosey and Amble Bay series, look forward to reading in April. All the best.
That’s most kind of you Nilanjana, thank you.
Hi Keith – your entries have always been fun … and I can imagine the same this year … loved the others too. I’ll be around … but won’t be participating – see you soon … cheers Hilary
Look forward to,seeing you in the playground Hilary!
This is a great theme, Keith. Looking forward to read the posts.
Thanks Varad, and great to see you again (metaphorically!) Your reveal looks very interesting.
I have enjoyed reading your flash fiction all these years, Keith. Looking forward to this year’s stories about children, for children.Cheers!
Here we are again Shilpa! It’s going to be fun.
Keith,
I was like you hesitant to join the A2Z challenge but that nagging urge finally gave way to commit with the help of good friends. Now, I excited to be creating for next month’s blogfest. I shall look forward to reading stories from your Once Upon a Time series. Have a blessed week and if time permits, please come check out my Theme Reveal post!
One of the reasons I hesitated was because of the declining number of participants and the resultant drop in visits to my site. In 2016 about 2100 folks signed up – right now it stands at 344! Anyway here we are and I’m really looking forward to seeing your sketches.
I’m glad you decided to participate again. I’ve always enjoyed reading your blogs. My blog is actually called Once Upon a Time… 🙂
So I discovered when I saw your reveal! Great minds…!
Sounds like fun Keith – looking forward to your flash.
Not long to go! Thanks Deborah
Can’t wait to read your letter A post!
Nearly there! Thanks so much
I will be back, for sure, to see these cool posts! I also like your previos lists as well!
Entertaing Interests
Thanks Danielle, good to see you again.
I’m not sure if we ever really get “there.” I’ll be back.
I guess it depends on where you think ‘there’ is!
I enjoyed your A=Z last year. Wish I could get the hang of those short posts!
I got into flash fiction as a result of participating in a weekly prompt challenge called Friday Fictioneers where there is a limit of100 words per post.If you are interested it’s right here –

Wow! That is a very interesting take on A-Z Challenge. I am a first time visitor here and am looking forward to the short story. I will read it to my 20 month old son.
😀
I’m pleased! It will be a mix of stories to read to children and others about kids from an adult’s perspective. I just hope it works!
Flash fiction! Looking forward to reading. I love reading fiction of any kind 😀 Wish you luck with the A2Z challenge this year
That’s very kind of you, thanks Sundari
Sounds great – looking forward to reading your flash fiction in april.
Thank you so much
I’ve always enjoyed your A-Z flash fiction pieces and I’m sure this year will be no exception. See you in April 🙂
Debbie
Great see you again, it should be a fun month
Will be following your posts to learn more about concise writing. I am posting short stories also but am struggling to stay in the 300-word range.
It really is worth it! I’ll be watching you to see how you get on!
