VARIETY - A to Z Challenge

It’s the third A to Z Challenge! Blog the letters of the alphabet in order every day except Sundays The participation list is HERE – start with the blog after yours and visit at least five blogs a day. Mostly, make new friends and have fun!

My theme – I have selected a word for each day and will present to you blogger buddies who fit that description, along with movies, music, etc. My theme is to give back, highlight some awesome bloggers, and have fun in the process.

VARIETY

Joshua at Vive le Nerd
Tackling blogging for a second time, Joshua took a different approach – variety. He does have a theme, but it involves so many aspects that he keeps it fresh. From work and kids to movies and games, Joshua covers it all. Some days we get some of his writing. Every day we get an image, usually from his commute to work. (In Atlanta – God Bless you, man!) If you like top ten lists and a little nerdy humor, Joshua is your dude.

Sarah at Sarah Ahiers Writes
What do you get when you visit Sarah’s blog? Unless it’s Yvie’s Fun Friday, you have no idea! And that is half the fun. Sarah talks a little about writing, about weird facts, and about anything unusual she discovers. Often there are images and humor is always involved. And Sarah is nice enough to let her dog Yvie take over at least once a week. I know I will always get a smile when I visit Sarah’s blog!

Monty Python’s Flying Circus
This old show covers every type of comedy you could possibly imagine. From musicals and broad comedy to gross out and the downright esoteric, the Monty Python gang has you covered. Dead parrots, confused cats, silly walks, and singing lumberjacks are the order of the day. Can’t believe this UK is over forty years old now!

NINJA NEWS!

Welcome all new followers! Once the insanity of the Challenge is over, I will have more time to visit all of you. If you are a writer, please check out the Insecure Writer’s Support Group We post the first Wednesday of every month and May 2 is our next date.

Thanks to Christine, Gwen, and Heather for posting about my giveaway. (Heather called me a myth – like to clarify that I’m not quite dead yet!)
