When I first read about this challenge on BlogChatter, I was super excited and decided to give it a go. It was rather impulsive of me to click on participation link. Super excited at first, the amount of work slowly dawned upon me and that made way for fear! Not afraid of writing but fear about leaving it incomplete. Questions like “What if I can’t manage everything?” What if I just put up random posts to get done with the alphabet? What if I put up half baked stories just because I need to get done with it?What would I write about? such thoughts tormented me and I had almost decided to quit even before I started.
While my emotions overwhelmed me, it hit me, that is what I want my theme to be! I believe stories are to be felt more than read. You could use the most tongue twisting, exquisite words, but if they can’t touch a chord somewhere deep within, it just remains a well written text or narrative. Using the opportunity provided by BlogChatter and A-Z Blogging Challenge I want to explore those emotions with my nanotales. I want to see if I can bring to life the emotions felt in a situation.
Read a line recently “Everyone has a story to tell, some are written in books while some are confined in heart” by Savi Sharma in her book. Β It resonated with me and moved me. I always look for stories around me and this is a great way to bring out those stories and the emotions that gripped me. I hope you enjoy this emotional roller coaster with me!
Profound theme.
Excited and get to learn and discover a lot about it during this period. Thanks for sharing & best wishes for A to Z challenge 2017 Get Fit and Healthy with 26 Healthy living days
Thanks Dr. Bushra, π hoping to get some scheduling done before it starts

Awesome penned.
Great theme! I had(still have) a lot of the same fears:) But fellow blogger friends have promised to root for me! lets cheer each other on.
Yes, lets make it a successful and fulfilling journey of 26 days. π
So, I am guessing it is going to be an emotional month, pun intended.
Looking forward to the emotional (again pun intended) tales.
All the best. π
Yup! A roller coaster ride π
Look forward to reading your nano tales. Love stories. Bookmarking your page.
All the very best for the AtoZ ride. It’s my first too.

So nice to see many first timers. I was worried of being lost in the long list of seasoned pros π
I love microfiction and nano tales sounds like something I’d enjoy reading too π Neha, enjoy the A-Z. You’ll meet some wonderful new bloggers and make friends for life. This I can guarantee. Don’t worry about finishing or not. We’re all in this together. First time or veteran, the worry is the same π
I was plagued by similar questions before joining this challenge. I had left it incomplete in the past and I regret it to this day! However, writing has definitely proved to be therapeutic for me and I realized I need to get back to it. Welcome to A-Z!
Moreover, I enjoy reading flash fiction and nano-tales. I look forward to reading your posts this April – great theme. Good luck!
