A2Z Blogging Challenge 2022 – Theme Reveal

My blog has suffered from a creative drought for months now because of various reasons. I was not sure if I could take up a daily writing challenge in such a situation, but I knew it was important to give my blog the love it deserves. So, I jumped into the #blogchatterA2Z challenge 2022 in the last moment with no particular theme in my mind.

The first and last time I participated in the challenge was in 2020, during the pandemic. The theme was Postcards from India, where I talked about some of the most beautiful,  offbeat places in India through letters from the land. Encouraged by the love of my readers and the spike in my pageviews, I decided to turn this into a book. Yes, my book Postcards from India, which is now selling on Amazon, Flipkart and Notionpress.com.

This time I contemplated many ideas for the theme of A2Z challenge. For a change I wanted to write about my personal life, to try and lighten up the heaviness of my heart. Having faced the biggest tragedy of my life so far, I somehow still feel lost for words everytime I try to write anything about my family, my mom or my life in general. I had to give up that idea for now.

I decided to go with something that’s refreshing without being emotionally charged. This time I will write 26 listicles – articles listing my favorite things. These will be mostly related to travel and blogging, consistent with the theme of my blog. These won’t go on to make a book later in the year, but will lay foundation for longer, thicker and more useful content for my readers. 

So let’s gear up for the journey through listicles this month on my blog.
