and I made it through on time.
Yeah for me !!
(and Yeah for everyone who did the same.)
Thank you to the fabulous organizers.
As a round up to the A to Z Challenge, the organizers thought it would be good if participants shared their reflections and experiences.
So here is my "method" for surviving this event.
As a round up to the A to Z Challenge, the organizers thought it would be good if participants shared their reflections and experiences.
So here is my "method" for surviving this event.
- I had a list of topics for each letter, and then I abandoned the list 3 days before the event. I wasn't inspired. I went out to my pictures file and started "shopping" for A to Z topics. That was SOOOOO much easier. I had the picture prompt already and the words just poured out of my head and into my hands on the key board. It worked great.
- I pre-scheduled a week in advance. Yes, I might have had a 2 hour blog writing session each week, but the rest of the week I was free.
- I didn't feel compelled to be "honest" in my words. For example: I pick "Zee End" for the letter Z. People enjoy inventiveness and I was getting pretty desperate. :-)
- I tried to keep it short. Easier for me and easier for you.
You know, I had a great time this month, but what I really enjoy is just visiting other blogs and reading the daily random posts outside of the Challenge. You get to see bits and pieces of other people's lives - some are funny, some are sad, some are amazing, some are inspiring. THAT is the joy in visiting other blogs.
So ... I am glad to see the end of the A to Z Challenge because I feel that personal touch will return once again to the blogs I follow.
But I will be back in April 2013! It is always great to discover new bloggers.

Congrats on finishing a great challenge!
Very nice. I did enjoy your posts and you are a blogger I check back to. ;-) Nice to have found you!
YEs, yes, yes. I am with you - it is great to participate. I had a theme AND I prewrote some posts but then, found myself almost behind.
I am proud I continued and stayed up this time, except now with the recaps I see there are so many bloggers I missed!!

Congratulation on finishing the challenge. I didn't visit all blogs during the challenge but, cross my heart, I'm visiting every single one with reflection post! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Evalina, This and that...
