This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

Interesting Ideas

          Interesting Ideas are everywhere and nothing is more proof than the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge.   Have you ever seen so much blogging talent together in one event with such a continuous array of fascinating topics in such unique presentations?

           Blogging has opened so many new doors that have allowed me to peek in on the lives and the thoughts of others.   The realm of blogs has led me on a journey of discovery that could never end in my lifetime.  We have been given access to visit more people than we could ever imagine in the off-line everyday world.  Communications among us are often instantaneous or at least quick in coming.

            Human history has produced so many interesting ideas that have led to amazing inventions and discoveries that now we usually take for granted.  Now we can engage in global exchanges sometimes more easily than we can talk to our next door neighbors.  We can work jointly with people we may never meet face to face in order to create, discuss, or just keep up with one another's lives.  

            The world of blogging is filled with interesting ideas and you are among those contributing to this interesting world.  Encourage others with your topics and your comments.  Entertain, enlighten, and engage in whatever way you wish, and do your best to keep your ideas interesting.

Here are a few bloggers that I have discovered during the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge who are trying to keep things interesting:

           Nate Wilson has been offering up interesting ideas on his blog for going on two years now.  Check out the writing contest on Nate Wilson's Sometimes, This Wheel's On Fire.  It's all inspired by the A to Z Challenge so you can incorporate your entry into one of your daily posts.   It's time to be even more creative than you are now.  And as an incentive there are prizes.   You've got to check this out!


          I was surprised when I ran across a post about me!   This appeared on Informed Sharing-- a blog full of interesting ideas by a young woman who goes by the name San.  She also has a website--Ask San Anything--that like her blog offers information and interesting ideas.  Check it out.  Your blog may be one her upcoming features.


         Gary Philip Pennick wrote a somewhat humorous piece poking fun at the A to Z Challenge on his blog Klahanie.   I read a couple other entries by Gary and found them to be filled with some interesting ideas.  Humor can be interesting and a humorist doesn't always have to be funny.    Some of you may enjoy what Gary has to say in his blog.

          Many of you know Rachael Harrie at Rach Writes.   Rachael is the blogger behind the Platform-Building Crusade that is running in tandem with the A to Z Challenge.  The interesting idea of her Crusade will be repeated starting August 22, 2011 to October 31, 2011.  If you are interested in building up your following and having more networking opportunities like A to Z then visit Rach Writes for more information.


           What are some interesting ideas that you might have run across during the A to Z Challenge?    Do you have any of your own interesting ideas that you'd like to share?




Happy Birthday Mom!

    Thank you so very much, Arlee!! I'm so glad you got to see my post (I hadn't wanted to be intrusive). You deserve the praise for bringing bloggers everywhere the opportunity to come together this way. As it is also extremely educational...well, that's HUGE for me and sharing that with my readers is...what I do :) Thanks again for the link love. I'm going to try to get a YouTube vid out this week about the challenge too. I'm always trying to make the crossover with my viewers and readers and the A to Z Blogging Challenge deserves a big mention. Cheers!

    She's been blogging about literary terms, giving an example in literature and then using the technique in her own ongoing story. It's interesting, fun and educational.

    Pawny's Pen is also doing an ongoing story which is very interesting and well written.

    Out of these over 1200 blogs I've clicked on those with an interesting name or just by accident ... for sure, I've missed quite a lot! I'd wished to have a short explaining sentences, what each blog is all about or maybe even just some catchwords?! Would be great to have that next year! :-)

    So far, I've come across some very interesting blogs during this challenge and read some cool short stories of fiction and also picked up a nice recipe somebody's blog so I appreciate that, while I'm learning how to cook more dishes.

    As for myself, I believe that I write about some interesting ideas sometimes, such as focusing on movies that are about women in prison somehow or interviewing other filmmakers about things that the average moviegoer may find interesting, BUT I would rather not find my own blog posts interesting....I mean, I already do because if I wasn't interested in them, there is no reason for me to post them, lol.

    I'd rather my readers find my posts interesting so it's not for me to say whether my blog has interesting ideas or not. It's up to the readers and followers of the blog.

    Today, I am happy to find out that I received a Creative Blog award from a fellow blogger and so.....there is a reader who considers me or my blog to have Interesting Ideas! :)

    Hi there Arlee Bird,
    So I suppose that's like the 'Arlee Bird catches the worm'? :)
    Anyhow, thoroughly delighted to note that your 'A to Z Challenge' is most definitely, a huge success!
    Now then 'I' have figured out that today's posting is brought to you by one of my favourite (sorry, 'favorite') vowels. I C U are now up to the letter 'I' in this wonderful alphabet challenge :)
    Indeed, some interesting ideas, here. Some very notable bloggers amongst your list. I've been graced with interacting with a couple of them and the others, I shall duly check out.
    I'm truly honoured that you have included me in such an esteemed list. I would like to note that any feeble attempts by me at humour are only a small portion of what I endeavour to write on my blog. For, in fact, my blog is about eliminating the unfair stigma and labels that are often attached to those who are experiencing mental health concerns. We must realise, that mental health issues, can happen to any of us.
    Once again, I wish to thank you for taking my satirical posting in the good spirit it was truly intended.
    Continued happy writing and may all who are participating in your 'A to Z April Challenge', find much satisfaction from the power, the therapy, the magic of the written word.
    With respect and kind wishes, your way, Gary.

    I have only been blogging for a month and joined this challenge to help me learn to blog everyday and thinking maybe I could meet up with a couple other art bloggers. While the challenge has me staying to my commitment to blog everyday, and yes I have met several other art bloggers, this has been an incredible journey of opening up my world! I have "met" writers, poets, people healing through blogging, amazing and incredible bits of history and stories, inspiration and the list never ends. As I read your post, I was right clicking to "open in another tab" the links you provided. The journey continues everyday. This is awesome!

    I don't see how my blogs problems are isolated and not in relation to the link-up here, every one of the spammers have your lil icon attached to their blog or make some reference to the A-z challenge in how they found my blog....

    and the person whom I found this challenge blog through is ALSO having spam problem but only just realised its because of this challenge... there are probably a lot more too just not saying it, or not realising the true source of the nuisance.

    While you cannot be deemed responsible for others actions I know, I think its only fair to point out this link system is just giving a giant blog-hop party for a lot of cut and paste nuisance bloggers.

    And it needs to be said that this isn't appropriate commenting and blogging ettiquette and I feel it needs to be posted about considering its only day 11/12.

    I wish everyone had a place you could comment on their blogs. I've run across a couple that had great posts, but nowhere to comment or follow. HMMM?


    I'm so glad you talked me into joining. :)

    Well, once again I've let these comments pile up to the point where it is difficult to respond on an individual basis. And that system I talked about before the Challenge began--well the best laid plans and all that, you know.

    I am having a difficult time just keeping up with visiting commenters--which in a way is a good thing I guess--but I am trying my best.

    Appreciate the positive comments and I try to also address and keep in mind the few negative comments I receive. After all, I'd like to see everyone have an equally great experience with the A to Z Challenge, but I also realize that not everyone always sees things the same way.

    I will not delete any negative comments unless they are crude, abusive, or hurtful to another person. This is a place to share and exchange interesting ideas and even negative ideas can sometimes be useful and interesting. They are what often initiates change.

    Sorry to hear that you think anyone that doesn't see things your way isn't worth your time.

    Not a way to run a blog hop of this magnitude in my opinion.

    Its clear your in WAY over your head, So Heres some tips for next time... if you ever attempt this again.

    Set some ground rules.

    Have a blogging etiquette and commenting etiquette guideline in place.

    Have a link system where people can remove themselves or be removed by someone else if they wish, AND can be removed if they are not abiding the rules.

    Lastly open your own mind as to how this whole thing CAN negatively impact someones life and blog instead of washing your hands and not taking responsiblity for it.

    So I'll take my own negative self back to my blog, you won't hear from me again.

    BUT FOR THE THIRD TIME, REMOVE MY LINK, #274!

    Thanks again for all your comments I think :) .

    I do try to listen to everyone and Annmaree you're link has been removed as you requested. We are on different time zones here and not tending to this blog hobby
    24/7. I learned a great deal from my Challenge of last year and am continuing to learn next year. Part of your suggestion is good and practical and will be something I will take into consideration next year. I have not washed my hands of anything or refused to take responsibiity for anything. If that were the case do you really think I would leave your comments up for all to see or do you think I would have attempted to have a civil discourse with you concerning this matter?
    I do hope your life gets better and you find happiness in what you do.
    God bless you and may peace come upon you.

    Lee

Go ahead and say something. Don't be afraid to speak your mind.

For Battle of the Bands voting the "Anonymous" commenting option has been made available though this version is the least preferred. If voting using "anonymous" please include in your comment your name (first only is okay) and city you are voting from and the reason you chose the artist you did.
