A to Z and Me- Part I

Next week at this time, if my calendar is correct, we will be on day two of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. I thought I’d give you a sneak peek into my A-Z challenge scheme.

I was somewhere between being as nervous as a chicken in a hen house after a hawk had made its way inside when it came to the A-Z April challenge (true story-it happened to my sister’s chicks—the hawk) AND speaking to a group of nudists in the nude.  Now isn’t that nervous?

I’m no longer nervous.

I have a theme. I am using the Brothers Grimm Fairytale titles. I have written 26 short stories written for each title.  It’s been a challenge, but so much fun, to start with the title and create a story for it.  The title, of course, will include the letter of the day. 

Collectively, the title of my A to Z entry is Grim Tales of the Ruralhood

·         They are fiction.

·         I had to make up two titles because the Grimm brothers let me down.

·         Each story must have a measure of grimness.

·         They are probably not tales to read to your children. But, they're harmless.

·         Each must have a rural flavor.

Unless I change something between now and then, there will be:

·         Murder

·         Mystery

·         Alien (space variety)

·         Rude children

·         Mean children

·         Ghosts

·         Cruelty (implied nothing graphic—trust me)

·         Crazy cat lady (not what you’re thinking…. Remember my post about the letter E?)

·         Stupid tourists

·         Creepy people

·         Unsavory stepfather

·         Talking and emotional inanimate objects (It was fun!)

·         Creatures from the deep

·         Things that aren’t what they seem

·         Animals

·         A poem

Come back on Wednesday for an imaginary interview between you and me. Friday, I’ll share the titles.

Oh and it’s not too late to join the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge. Go here.

See you Wednesday!
