SO, NOW THAT I HAVE MY A TO Z POSTS DONE...

IT'S TIME TO GO FOR A RUN


 IN PINK NO LESS

WITH A REALLY GROOVY HEADBAND
AND
YOU JUST GOTTA LOVE MY BOOMBOX
BEATS AN IPOD ANY DAY - EH!!


My daughter and I collect Lego - this is my "Workout Gal"
She inspires me to stay fit!

Okay, I can breath now
the worst is over
I'm done

I wrote a 4,458 word synopsis for a novel...and you are going to get it in twenty-six installments... the shortest post (A) comes in at 102 words, and the longest post (W) comes in at 305 words - all in all, it won't tax you too much! 

Also...regarding "X" - due to the nature of my story I am using "eX" words. 

Tissue is optional, but just in case, wear long sleeves...you never know!
I decided to work on a project I could use after the Challenge. Of course some modification will be made, after the Challenge, you'll see why when you read them...in the meantime here is a little assignment for you.
Last year, during the A to Z Challenge I wrote: 
L IS FOR LESSONS LEARNED - the woman's side of my tragic tale
and
M IS FOR MOMENTARY MADNESS - the man's side of my tragic tale
If you read these, before April 1st, you will have the behind the scene setting for my twenty-six post.
My upcoming twenty-six post can be read without any pre reading, but for those that like more meat on their bone...go have a nibble!!

So...until the Challenge starts...I'm heading for a few days of battery charging sleep!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FUN?

    1. I love Lego - ever since my daughter was old enough to put two pieces together we have enjoyed Lego-mania moments. And, we still get together and play with Lego. Her A to Z posts will have a special connection to it based on all the new little people Lego has recently introduced...including my Workout Gal!

      Thanks for dropping by! :)

  4. I've only gotten a few done. Once again, A to Z has crept up on me - and it's not like I didn't have plenty of time. *Sigh* Nose to the grindstone....looking forward to reading your posts! :-)

    1. Li - just enjoy each of the challenge days and write about whatever inspires you that day, then post it for the next day's letter. I did that last year. Since I joined on April 1st I had nothing prewritten and just enjoyed seeing what the day brought...it was some of my best writing! :)

    1. I had so many possible topics to choose from. When I settled on this one and the style of presenting it I was very happy. My objective it to see what reaction it gets...this will help determine what direction I go with it...should be interesting.

  8. Go Jenny. I'm still working on my posts, but at least I have 2 1/2 blogs done and I've started on the other. Glad you're setting a good example with the short posts.

    1. I don't know how you do it, Lee. Several blogs and hosting the Challenge...you must be Superman!!
      As it is I'm barely keeping my head above water...as paperwork piles up on my desk...yikes! I will need May - August just to recover. :)

  9. Okay, what is clear here is that I need a work out girl!

    Congrats to you to have all those posts done!

  12. I don't even have anything written. I really probably should, maybe, get more organized.
    But, than again, why mess with perfection?

    1. You make me laugh...I thought you had it all figured out!! But then winging it is one of my favourite "organizational" talents too - so I will be expecting great things from you, Ruth! :)

    2. I have plenty of time has turned to "oh crap, it's almost here and I am not ready".

  13. That is super-keen Jenny! But as a co-host I guess you need to set an example to all of us laggards :)

    I'm about half-way there, and trying to keep them short - mostly under 300 words.

    1. Hey there Botanist - I'm one of you laggards too, trust me...this was torture! The things that have gone undone because of my need to fulfill my duties...you would be shocked! (and possibly disappointed - yikes)

      Being half done is worthy of a serious pat on the back - good on you!

    1. Hi Deenasdays - Welcome to Pearson Report. I've taken a quick look re the "subscribe" issue and the option is there on this page, just below where you leave your comment. Strange thing is that a blog often appears different to the blog owner than it does to the visitors...so I will take a look at my blog before I sign in and see if I can catch the problem.

      Thanks you for stopping by! :)

  17. "Momentary Madness" is certainly something I can relate to!
    The Lego "Workout Gal" is great! Your theme sounds wonderful and I can't wait to see you next week! Julie

  18. I'm doomed because I have none of my posts writeen yet, but it's the schedule post part that is the problem. I can't get that sucker to work for some reason. I've tried scheduling each post I've done this week and each time, epic fail. Oy!

    On the other hand, congrats for getting yours done and I love that Lego fitness girl. :)

    I just got a flash of those Sue Grafton novels where she did the A-Z thing and wondered if this is how she got started?

Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts.

I'd give you a penny for them, but alas we just snuffed it out. Yup...gone!
It's all about the nickel now...so at this rate you can leave 5 thoughts!

Cheers, Jenny
