2014 A to Z Challenge
I can’t believe I’m going to do it. WriterlySam is asking me to reveal my super secret theme for 2014 A to Z Challenge. There is a certain commitment associated with revealing your theme ahead of time. I bet that is why she is making us do it. Like once it’s out there, you kind of have to follow through and participate in A to Z. Well, here it goes.
My Theme for 2014 A to Z Challenge is Another New Life by Sydney Aaliyah Michelle. Yes, that’s me and that’s my debut novel. I am going to spend an entire month, 26th posts, telling you all about it.
I have a few interesting post all ready to go, like B – By the numbers and K – Kiss. My personal favorite, I – It’s Cover Reveal Time when I reveal my cover. See what I did there. haha.
I figure by the end of the month, you will either be completely sick of it or you can’t wait to read it.
If the stars are aligned correctly and everything happens the way it’s supposed to happen between then and now, on May 1st, you can buy it.
Wish me luck! For more information on Another New Life, check it out on Goodreads.
There’s still time to sign up for the challenge, here.

Congratulations on your debut novel! So exciting! I look forward to reading more about your novel!
I didn’t think I had a theme, really, but it’s different areas of research I’ve done for my novels. I haven’t given it a theme name though. 😀
Thanks Diana. That’s a cool idea. I love researching things for my novel. I had to research a classical pianist.
Excellent idea, Sydney! Sending you good star-alignment karma! Congratulations on the debut!

Ooh! With a cover reveal snuck in there… Sounds epic. Can’t wait!
Thanks Crystal.
Good luck with the A to Z – and good luck with your debut novel as well. 🙂
Thank you so much. I’m so excited.
I look forward to learning about Another New Life. It looks like we’re both blogging about our new novels. It should be fun.
I know. It’s going to be a fun month. Look forward to hearing about yours, too.
Can’t wait! 🙂 Happy A to Z!
Same to you!
It’s all a part of my evil plan, Sydney:) I look forward to hearing much more about “Another New Life”!

A great idea for a theme, looking forward to reading your posts 🙂
Wonderful, Sydney! Another fiction-related challenge–and yours is perfectly planned to boost the release of the novel. Congratulations on that, too–you must be over the moon 🙂 I’ll be looking forward to finding out about it during April.
Thanks for visiting over at
Quiet Laughter: The Mighty Theme Reveal earlier, and I hope you’ll be back to connect during April. Since we’re both doing fiction stuff, both promoting books, it’ll be interesting to exchange feedback during and after the challenge. Look forward to it!
Sounds like it’s going to be an exciting month for you…looking forward to your cover reveal.

Thanks MJ. It’s going to be a fun month.
This sounds very interesting! Looking forward to your posts.
Its funny that you said you are going to reveal details about your book through this challenge in the Theme Reveal fest 😛

I don’t get it?!?
you said you will tell all about your book in these 26 posts – so a reveal (this post) about a reveal(on the book-your challenge theme)
Good luck with your book, Sydney – there seem to be loads of us combining huge projects in with the A2Z this year. I’m also launching a book at the start of May – with cover reveal for Bravo Victor on April 2nd! B for Bravo 😀 Hope your launch goes well!

I feel you on this whole “theme reveal” thing that Sam and the other members of #TeamDamyanti cooked up. Like you said, once it’s out there, then the pressure is on. It’s like we’re IN now and can’t look back. Funny thing, earlier this afternoon, I considered changing my theme to production notes on my film (since I’m eventually going to need to write them anyway sometime this year)…which I know would be kinda awkward….given that I’ve already revealed my plans for the first one this morning, lol.
Crafting your theme around your debut novel is a great way to go, as it allows you to essentially kill two birds with one stone. You get content for the challenge and also get to build anticipation for the release. Now, I just gotta figure out how in the world your cover reveal is going to work withing my blog post. I think I’ll have to channel the Ninja Captain Alex’s blogging style for inspiration.
Cheers to you 🙂

Awesome!
Congrats on the debut Novel! I really can’t wait to hear about it! I love that I is when you will do a cover reveal. Clever way to use that letter.

Wow! I’m interested to see what you have to say for every single letter. Looking forward to the creativity, and getting familiar with your book!
Looking forward to the preview! All the best with revealing your work and reading your posts.

I think it’s a great idea! Looking forward to learning more about it. I know what you mean about putting your theme out there…then you gotta do it. But then again, I already gotta do it…so not as big a deal for me.
So many blogs, so little time. I sure hope to make it over for as many of your posts as possible…
Forgot my signature in the other comment. Just want to put this out there in case someone hasn’t already heard about the A-Z Challenge and wants to join.

What a great blog you have! Funny, I’m also doing the A to Z challenge for April and every day I question my sanity, when, I too, have a book coming out next month. I will also be blogging mostly about my book. Maybe we could connect and guest post once for each other 🙂
Hi Paige, that’s a great idea. I’ll email you.
I love finding new Authors and learning about there books so I can not wait to see more of what you write in the challenge.
Great theme sydney… this is the blog on my bookmarked list now 🙂 see ya
See ya. Good luck with A to Z.
