#AtoZChallenge Theme Reveal 2026 #ShortStory Crossword

So, I have this crazy idea. I have two characters from a story I haven't worked on in a few years. Liv Good (the main character) and Wren Noel (first introduced on this blog https://uniquelymaladjustedbutfun.blogspot.com/2019/04/time-for-change-atozchallenge.html in 2019 A to Z letter T) are friends - yes, friends only  - hanging out and watching movies and shows together. And they're creating a crossword to go with it. 

It's going to be a slice-of-life fiction. 

Pronunciation: Noël is pronounced "No-el" or "No-elle," the dots are often omitted in English-speaking contexts.

The crossword clue will contain the LETTER of the day, though it might not be the *first* letter in the word. 

My April 2026 Blogging from A to Z Challenge Theme is a slice-of-life short story with two characters binge-watching shows and movies while creating a crossword puzzle. Read and play along!

A friend of mine is doing this 31 questions in March blogging writing challenge (https://marquessamatthews.com/2021/02/10/want-to-join-me-for-a-writing-challenge-alexandrafranzen/). I don't know if I'll manage to do the whole month.

March 7 – What was your very first job?

I started working as the night receptionist at a chiropractic office when I was sixteen. I had over 600 hours volunteering at the hospital before that. Check out the commercial I made for Nickelodeon about volunteering.
