It’s back, the annual A-Z Challenge, and I’m back too!
This April I’ll be resurrecting a theme I first used in 2016, and once again present daily pieces of flash fiction, stories between one and two hundred words, each of which contains one or two under-used or obsolete words.
I’m clearly a glutton for punishment!
I will, of course, explain their origins and meanings in the hope my tales make sense!
So, welcome to another month of scriptitation – a 17th-century noun meaning ‘continual writing’!
All the best.
Thanks Sadje, it’s going to be fun.
I look forward to it.
Oh my, this will improve my English (hmm, I hope!) ;))
I wonder! It’s very good already!
Looking forward to your A to Z, Keith. This will be my 2nd year at it, this time covering essential oils.
Thanks so much – love the sound of yours!
Oh, i can hardly wait for this!
Not long now! Cheers, Mimi.
I always enjoy a writerly challenge. Though I think, writing fiction during the challenge, and particularly such short fiction, is a challenge in the challenge and I commend your commitment.
Have a great April!

The Old Shelter – Theme Reveal – Living the Twenties
As they say, different horses for different courses! I’m most comfortable with short stories, but if you were to ask me for 26 poems in a month I’d walk away!
I loved it last time, I’ll love it this time too. Thanks for taking part again. My theme is up too
That’s so kind of you. I love the sound of yours!
Maybe I will discover some new “Z” and “X” words! Sounds exciting. I will be back!

X s a bit difficult – Z. no problem! Thanks Kristin.
Cannot wait to see what words you have for us. Scriptitation has such a wonderful sound to it, although one has to have one’s tongue warmed up before trying to say it 😄

It’s not the easiest word to pronounce, that’s for sure! Thanks so much.
Oh wow – those words are quite a mouthful! All the best with AtoZ 🙂
Just a bit! Thanks, Suchita.
Oh this sounds great! Can’t wait to read what you put up!
I hope I don’t disappoint! Thanks so much.
Looking forward to reading your stories.
Thanks so much.
Ha – I hope you won’t absquatulate before you finish your scriptitations! =)
Now that’s a thought!
Keith,
We’re all gluttons for punishment embarking on another year of A2Zing but here we are once again about to step into center ring for a brain whipping! Perhaps we’ll cross paths frequently next month. You’ll find my Theme Reveal in today’s Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me post. Best of luck to you, my friend!
I’m sure we’ll meet up along the way. Let’s hope we make it to the end unbruised! Cheers Cathy
Good lick with the challenge! Look forward to reading more.
Thank you so much.
Looking forward to reading your flash fiction. Have fun during the challenge. Weekends In Maine
Thanks so much – off to investigate yours!
Hi Keith – I know I’ll do it … just haven’t got to the point of mentioning it … mine I’m sure will involve history of an area in London … but excellent to have some more unusual words thrown out at us … look forward to it – at least we can’t do much else! Cheers Hilary
Lot’s of history to choose from there! The challenge has come along a perfect time. Look after yourself, Hilary.
This is a wonderful theme, Keith. I’ll be sure to drop in. Best wishes.
Good to see you again Varad. Thanks so much.
Count me as a total fan of your theme Keith. Can’t wait to read your posts!
I can’t ask more than that! Thanks, Deborah.
Looking forward to these Keith. The more we learn , the more we want to learn …. and the more we realize that we know nothing … or next to …
I couldn’t put it better myself! Thanks so much, Susan.
