Yup, it's the A to Z blogfest, and while it may still be two and half months away it isn't too early to start planning and maybe even writing some of those posts. Trust me, I know. I've done this before. In fact, I wrote my first post last night.
As for my subject, if you didn't guess, it's scifi. This gives me a nice big range from movies to books to terms associated with scifi like superluminal tunnels, FTL (faster than light), and wormholes, hence the piccie from Monday, courtesy of Wikipedia.
An artist's
impression of a wormhole from an observer's perspective, crossing the
event horizon of a Schwarzschild wormhole which bridges two different
universes. The observer originates from the right, and another universe
becomes visible in the center of the wormhole’s shadow once the horizon
is crossed, the observer seeing light that has fallen into the black
hole interior region from the other universe; however, this other
universe is unreachable in the case of a Schwarzschild wormhole, as the
bridge always collapses before the observer has time to cross it, and
everything that has fallen through the event horizon of either universe
is inevitably crushed in the singularity.
I'm looking forward to learning some new things from my own posts as well as everyone else's. Have you been thinking about your plan? Or is your plan to take a month off and watch everyone else scramble and run around? I'd be interested to hear if you care to share.
Meanwhile Dianne and I are still looking for a first page or two for February's First Impressions so if you would like yours critiqued send it along (click on contact me).
Oh it's a wormhole!! How wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteYay for your A-Z theme!! Take care

Should by fun - I'm looking forward to it!
DeleteScience fiction? I know whose blog I'm visiting every day during the Challenge!
ReplyDeleteI have my theme, just need to nail down the individual letters.
And when are you going to reveal said theme?
DeleteSounds awesome Marcy.
ReplyDeleteI think so :)
DeleteThat's cool. I haven't seen that theme done. Some themes get over done. You have a lot more leeway with SF. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, good! I'm glad I have an 'original' theme :)
DeleteI'll be here...in a front row seat...with a grin on my face! :)
ReplyDeletecool.
Deleteyou do know that under letter D and H you must write about Dezzy and Hollywood Spy since the secret reason of AZ is to celebrate the birthday month of Dezzy the Spy. Yes?
ReplyDeleteMaybe I could do a post on a scifi movie coming out and link back to you :)
DeleteOh, man... you're stressing me out! teehee. Since I have a book release in May, though, I really OUGHT to get some posts done ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start planning mine now. It's never too early!
DeleteYep, I'm going to sit back this year and watch the rest of you scramble. Sci-fi should be an infinite source of information. Looking forward to it, though I suspect most of it will go over my head. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try not to scramble too much but we'll see how that goes.
DeleteI'll be there reading but not writing.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to think about that first page. I've completely revised my first chapter and should get some input.
We still have one spot left if you want it...
DeleteOK, so I was wrong about the cocaine...that's fine. I'd rather read sci-fi!
ReplyDeletegood, cuz I know way more about scifi than cocaine.
DeleteFun topic! I'll be reading the posts, but not participating (because I'm a commitment weenie).
ReplyDeletethat's ok, a to z isn't for everyone and it's a lot of work, no doubt about that!
DeleteI'm gonna sign up. Last year was a little crazy but fun.
ReplyDeleteIt does get crazy but what can I say, I like crazy!
DeleteI can dig a scifi a-z. :) I will be there!
ReplyDeleteI'll be looking for you :)
DeleteTalk about organised!
ReplyDeleteI try :)
DeleteOoh, sci fi! I'll be tuning in for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to seeing you :)
DeleteI haven't decided for sure if I'm gonna participate this year or simply take the month off and sit around eating bonbons and sipping mint juleps. (riiiiight) I know what topic I'd use if I go for it, but still not sure. Guess I'd better make up my mind real soon, because last year, I had all the posts written by the end of March.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do because I love your posts :)
DeleteSci-fi will be a fun theme! Good for you on already having a post done--I don't!
ReplyDeleteShannon at The Warrior Muse
I think it will fun, too, and interesting (I hope!), and I plan to have all my posts done before April rolls around.
DeleteHey, I just saw this link on Twitter to sci-fi/fantasy books coming in 2013~ thought you might be able to use it during the A-Z Challenge! http://io9.com/5974424/all-the-essential-science-fiction-and-fantasy-books-coming-in-2013?tag=io9-2013-preview
ReplyDeletethank you Jess I'm on my way to check it out :)
DeleteScience Fiction! I'm really looking forward to your A-Z Challenge posts now. :)
ReplyDeleteI actually believe I am taking part in the A-Z Challenge this year. Can't wait to hear from everyone.
