Each year I try to come up with a theme to challenge myself. One year I wrote each entry as an epistolary set of events, some connected, some not. That was inspired by another A to Zer that did that in the previous year (Crackerberries). One year, I was inspired by a writing group I was in, and I wrote an entire 26-part story based on a short piece I wrote for that group.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year, I am again inspired by a fellow A to Zer from last year (DB McNicol) who had a random word generator select 26 words (one of each letter of the alphabet) and wrote a complete serialized story over the month using those words.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I used ChatGPT to generate my word list. I asked Chat GPT to compile the list with either nouns, verbs, or adjectives. I made two changes to the suggested list. I replaced one adjective \u201cbright\u201d with its adverb and had ChatGPT generate a different word for the X word it initially gave me.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here is my final list of words I\u2019ll be using: apple, brightly, climb, dance, elegant, forest, grow, happy, idea, jump, kind, lake, marvelous, nest, observe, peaceful, quake, river, strong, travel, unique, venture, wander, xylophone, yearn, and zephyr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Join me as you follow my main character, Adriana, on her quest to achieve her destiny.
