A-to-Z Blog Challenge: B is for...bloggers

The blog challenge is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month, and its success is purely based on the support and participation of the bloggers.

People who share a part of their lives and activities with you. All kinds of blogs exist in the blogosphere, and today I am sharing only a few of the blogs of my fellow A to Z blog challenge participants. Over the course of the A to Z blog challenge, look out for some more blog links from other participants.

The Multicolored Diary - mythology and folklore

Getting to the end - lifestyle and social

TravelGenee - Genealogy

Why not click a link or two and say hi to them today?

Until tomorrow!

A-to-Z Blog Challenge: A is for...author

Today I am celebrating my fellow authors. People who had the guts to sit down and write a book. People who sacrificed their time to plan, research, write, edit, edit some more, edit even more, publish the book, and share their words with you the readers.

Few people grasp the commitments and sacrifices that authors make to bring their stories to you. So today I say thank you to everyone who wrote a book because they brought entertainment, knowledge, and the world to you and me.

To the authors!

April's Bibliophile - the A-to-Z Blog Challenge is here!

For the A to Z Blog challenge this April, my blog theme will be words - words from other authors, words from bloggers, books from other authors, words from a dictionary, and a word or two from me, Linzé, your host on the Broomstick.

The posts are up every day except on Sundays because on Sundays I will tell you what is happening in the week ahead. The posts will be short, but don't let that stop you from jumping into the conversation with the author. If it is a book post, why not share a link to your review? I know the author would appreciate it.

My newsletter, Grains of Sand, will make its usual appearance on the second Monday. In April's edition, there is info on a free ebook for everyone that joins up to receive the monthly grains of creative wisdom that I like to share. The voucher will be in the May newsletter.

#AtoZChallenge on the Broomstick: week 1

Here is schedule for the week ahead, and remember to sign up for my newsletter - it is concise, and will darken your inbox only once a month, I promise.

Until tomorrow!

Pre-order and Cover reveal: REFLECT. GROW. BECOME by Linzé Brandon

Pre-order on: SMASHWORDS

Keeping a journal is a personal experience, and yet many people are reluctant to start or quick to give up the practice for various reasons.

This book is a personal reflection on the history of the author's experience of more than thirty years of journaling. But it is also an exploration of some new techniques that young or aspiring journal writers may be unfamiliar with. Exploring the various techniques will give new insight on how methods, other than writing, can assist in a journey of personal reflection and growth.

The contents is broken down into six sections:

1. Background and history of journaling;

2. Creative journaling;

3. Journal writing and mindfulness in the NOW focused journal;

4. Reflecting on the past, and the future in the FUTURE/PAST journal;

5. Other kinds of journals not reflective in themselves, but which can be used in combination with the reflective styles; and

6. Practical guidelines on using both handwritten and electronic journals.

The various techniques are explained, and exercises are given at the end of each section for the reader's own reflection and experience.

Links and references are provided for further reading.
