Ugh finally, am I right?
So now that its February, I thought a nice little reflection was in order for Bloganuary.
I don’t think its any sort of surprise that I did not enjoy this event at all. The prompts were just very uninspiring for me. But props to the person who organized it because I’m sure it took a lot of work! I know I couldn’t do it, so well done for having it all prepared for the month!
One thing I was happy about was that I searched for others using the hashtag and was able to follow a small handful of new blogs! I’ll keep up with reading them over February to see their personal styles outside of the event!
The next big thing for me will be the April A to Z challenge. I still don’t know what topic I will select, so suggestions are welcome!
I love that Challenge! I will have to decide a topic, too!

Its for the month of April, and every day except Sundays you post according to the letter of the alphabet that lines up. April 1st is A, 2nd is B etc. You can post whatever you want aligned with that letter but I personally find it much better with a theme. I’ve done cities I want to visit, Harry Potter characters, hockey players that went to my school, a kindergarten carpet with pictures on it and did short stories about the pictures. It’s fun! TONS of participants. Here is the link to sign up, but the list isn’t open yet. Usually it opens the end of February or beginning of March. http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/

I have had zero prep themes and some themes were I start in like January doing prep and writing posts and scheduling them. One year I had all my posts scheduled before the month even started. It gave me more time to read other blogs. It’s really a very well done event.

I’ve been thinking about A to Z and while I have a theme picked out, I’m not sure if I will have the time to prep for it (and if I can’t pre-load the posts, I won’t be able to manage it). I’ll see how I go (I can always save it for next year).
My suggestion as a topic would be things to do and see in Ottawa. I reckon you’d have to be able to get an alphabet’s worth. Then you might discover things to do yourself 🙂

Pick an easier topic for yourself! Last year I decided like 36 hours early what I was gonna do! 😅😅
Annnnndddddd that topic requires research and effort AJ….lol

Okay, one without research and effort. I suggest you do a photo post. You already have lots of them, and can take more between now and then. You could write about where it was taken, or why you like that photo etc.

I too found Bloganuary uninspiring, though you’re right connecting with a few new bloggers was a good outcome. I’ll have to think about A to Z. I know many people who do it.
