Theme Reveal (Blogging from A to Z Challenge) - All Gallow's Eve

So, today is the day!

Those of us who have chosen to participate in the "A to Z Challenge" and are using a theme to connect the posts are revealing our themes for this year's challenge.

Honestly?

I went back and forth until yesterday.  I had several ideas for themes and was near paralyzed from trying to choose amongst them.  (If we ever meet and go out for food, don't give me more than 2 or 3 choices.  We could starve.  Seriously.)

But, in the end, the need to kick myself into gear, and the encouragement of my daughter (who also is quite a good writer herself) helped me winnow the field to one.

Last year, I became enamored with Scrivener, and started outlining a story, a cozy mystery to be titled, "All Gallow's Eve", which involves a hanging and Halloween.  But I have become, oh, 'less than regular' in my work on this WIP.  So, for each day in April, I will post either an excerpt from the story, or a blurb about a character, or something about the book in general as a way to keep things percolating in the front of my mind each day for a month.

Of course, this will springboard me to getting into the habit of writing (etc.) daily and thereby help my writing life in general. 

"So let it be written.  So let it be done."  (Possible bonus points if you can place the quote.)
