A-Z Challenge

I'm joining more than 1500 bloggers who are taking on the “2013 Blogging A to Z Challenge” which begins Monday, April 1. I found out about the challege from the publisher at the publishing house where I'm an editor and decided I should join in. Here's how it works:

1. The first part of the challenge is to write a blog post every day (except Sundays) during the month of April.
2. The second part of the challenge requires that all the posts are written thematically from A to Z! So, the subject of day 1′s post would begin with the letter A, and so on, all the way to Z, for a total of 26 thematic A to Z posts in 30 days.

You can find the list of other participants on the right side of the page. Randomly pick one or two or as many as you want each day and see what creative offering they make, and don't forget to come back here to see what odd, dark twist I put on my story for the day. I'll be posting one micro or flash fiction story a day featuring a creature that could fall into the category of speculative fiction. Thanks to the help of my friend in narrowing down the list, the list of creatures are:

Aliens
Banshee
Cthulhu
Dragons
Elves
Fairies
Golems
Hellhound
Incubus
Jack 'O Lantern
Kraken
Leeches
Mothman
Nymph
Ogres
Parasite
Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent)
Roc
Sprites
Troll
Unicorn
Vampire
Werewolf
Xana (female water spirit)
Yeti
Zombie Squirrels
