A to Z Challenge 2024 Theme Reveal

A to Z Blog Challenge 2024

Theme Reveal

 

This is my ninth year doing the Challenge. Last year, I tried something totally new. I created a single story that spanned all of the letters of the alphabet: “Save me a Story.” I am returning to somewhat isolated stories using a single theme this year. I say “somewhat isolated” because some letters may be connected to other letters as part of shorter stories.

The theme that I chose this year is Truth or Consequences. Prepare for a collection of stories, essays, poems, and maybe even some memoir pieces that involve truthtellers, liars, fairies, witches, and me, who certainly deal with the truth or variations of it and suffer or don’t suffer the consequences of their actions. 

For those who read last year’s story, there might be a return to the Kingdom of Selat, where all the fairytales and folktales originate and the characters who go along with them live. You might also be re-introduced to my dear friend Ronald, who was also part of that story. Adventures and activities with Ronald always try to avoid answering the question, “What could possibly go wrong?”

It’s time to get writing and prepare for the April Challenge. See you all on April 1st. Let the stories begin.

 

 

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!

  1. Who doesn’t love good storytelling…

  2. Truth or Consequences—this could be a heavy theme depending on where the story goes. Can’t wait to see what you share. Happy A-to-Z.

    Oh, I love this theme!
    So sorry I missed your challenge last year, it sounds like something I would have liked. But last year I had to renounced the challenge for lack of time.
    Happy to be back.
    Have a great Challenge in April!

    The Multicolored Diary

    Nice (and timely) hook for this writing safari. I can envision some dark time- travel stories dealing with a certain cult leader who cultivated power through obliterating the concepts of objective truth and reality. Pretty scary consequences.

  7. Debbie says:

    Ooh this one sounds like a lot of fun! Good luck with the challenge

  8. What a great theme! This will be my first year attempting a serialized story. In the past, I’ve written single flash stories many times as well as some themes on my personal sites.

    Great theme choice for the A to Z challenge! Looking forward to the rest of your alphabet journey!
    My topic (here: https://gritandgrace2015.blogspot.com/2024/03/atozchallenge-theme-announcement.html ) may not have as much appeal for everyone, but I’m going to give it a try ?

    Oooh – what a fun choice! I can’t wait to see what you post!

    OOOOH….truth and consequence – it’s one of the blog posts I’m doing (it’s the title of one of my books), so I’d love to see what you do with this!
    I’m doing the “AtoZ of me and my inspirations” and while I’m committed to doing a minimum of 26 posts, I’ll be doing extras and dragging my other blogs into it too.?Mostly because I had an issue in October that means I’ve been building a blog out of the horrible thing that happened to help others.

  15. Dave Roller says:

    This sounds like a great theme and I am looking forward to it. You are one of a number of bloggers who I have listed on my blog roll participating in the A to Z challenge this year. I mentioned all of you and your themes for the challenge on a recent post. Have fun telling your stories!
