Last year I was introduced to this great idea about producing a quality blog post every day for a month throughout April. Unfortunately I was a little late to ‘officially’ enter us into the 2013 challenge but no fear, 2014 is different! I am pleased to announce that A Brit and A Southerner is officially registered for the 2014 A to Z Challenge.

The Challenge

Can you post every day except Sundays during the month of April 2014?  If you can achieve this let’s add another notch of difficulty to the challenge, can you blog thematically from A to Z throughout this month? If you think the answer to both of these questions is yes, then go for it!!

At first the thought of creating a new article every day for a month probably seems pretty simple. Well, after last year’s experience I can honestly say it’s much harder than you would initially imagine.

How do I intend on doing a better job this year? One simple word – PLANNING! I think to make this challenge less stressful, you have to plan and prepare in advance and ‘hopefully’ I will do a much better job at achieving this. They always say you learn from your mistakes and experiences, well only time will tell.

Our Theme

So after deciding to sign up for this year’s 2014 A to Z Challenge, yes we were pretty early this year to ensure we signed up in time #194 on the list. By the way, if you are interested in signing up for this challenge, you can view every other participant here and join up yourself – SIGN UP HERE.

Without further ado, I would like to introduce to you our theme for the 2014 A to Z Challenge – DREAM DESTINATIONS

DREAM DESTINATIONS

Every day starting from Tuesday, April 1st, we will be featuring a series of “Dream Destinations” from around the world that are part of our bucket list. These destinations may be countries or cities that we have either already visited or would love to visit in the near future!

We will use both the #DreamDestinations and #AtoZChallenge hashtags on all of our posts on Social Media.
