I've actually put some effort into doing the doodles I have on every post for each letter of the alphabet, so maybe I'll just ramble as a conversation on the drawing I've made. Unless I come up with something more gripping, that's probably the route I'll take. Thanks for the tip, Chris!

Thanks for the link. I did the A to Z challenge for the first time last year, without a theme, and I think I'd actually recommend that new participants go theme-less for the first year - it actually opens up your options for possible posts matching the tough letters, instead of narrowing them down. But if you want to pick a theme, just think of something that you have a lot to say about. I'm not sure I can answer that question for you, but maybe putting it in those terms will help you come up with it yourself! Hi Nicki! Thanks for the link.
