I'd known fellow blogging friends were going to do the A to Z Challenge, but I didn't know if I really wanted to commit to that. A letter a day? I hate the letter 'J'. That would be a tough day....and I'm not wild about 'K' or 'Q' either.....
Then April 1st rolled around and seeing all the clever 'A' posts got me excited and inspired and I knew I could do that too. So I joined up.
I loved it! Visiting other blogs, commenting on posts that intrigued me....not to mention my own blogs comment numbers jumped up!
I didn't plan in advance. I'd wake up and think, "Today is the letter --" and sometimes inspiration hit immediately, sometimes I pondered it all through the day.
I had so much fun doing this challenge, and I missed it when it was over! The first day after the challenge ended, I sat down to blog with no clue what, how, when, where or why to write!
I'll do it again next year, absolutely! But I will give the letter 'Z' a lot more thought. I enjoyed every "Zippity Doo Dah" post, but next year I want my 'Z' to be...um....unique. And I sincerely hope that doesn't make me a bad person!
A good reflection post. I too Zip a dee do dah,
ReplyDeletenot very original I know but it went wel with my theme.

Glad you took the plunge and decided to do the challenge! Some letters came easy to me, some I had problems with (like L of all the letters, LOL). But it was a fun challenge! Glad you are thinking of doing it next year too!
ReplyDeletehave a great day!

ReplyDeleteLike you, I didn't have posts written in advance. (But if I do it next year - I will!)

ReplyDeleteZork?
ReplyDeleteglad you had fun--i did too--!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great challenge! Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteI didn't do the challenge but really enjoyed seeing what some of my bloggy friends did with it--including you. Of course, I was often running half an alphabet behind, but that's got a tendency to happen in any case. :)
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing all the fun everyone else had, I will seriously consider it next year.
