The A-Z blogging challenge has come to its end. I have been posting every day and it has really changed the way I approach writing. I want to put my words down no matter what, but it means something to have others read them. Even if they hate what is on the page. I have often asked myself this question, if a word falls on a page and no one is there to read it, does it really make a sound? I now know the answer. It is a constant echoing in your mind, revolving there until it finds a way out through a reader. I have made new friends through this little adventure, and I hope they continue to visit my blog, which I plan to write regularly, though maybe with a few more winks in between each post. I will continue my visits of their sites as well.
But, most of all, in retrospect, this challenge has allowed me to have a renewed zest for life. I’m an overthinker; so much so that it can get in the way of just enjoying what is right in front of my face. Writing this blog has put a magnifying lense on the things that make this world so amazing. Writing helps me see without getting caught up in the minutia that is irrelevant. I am so very grateful to have been given this experience at the right time to figure it all out. I hope you have enojoyed my A-Z posts. I’ll still be writing just without the letter being the driving force. Maybe I’ll have to set a different challenge for myself so I don’t lose focus. Please continue to read. Your thoughts reflect my vision.
For me the challenge was a nice break haha as i post every day any way. Glad you got your zest back and renewed too.
Thanks Pat. I will for sure continue to read your rhyme. It’s been a fun time.
I’m glad to have “met” you through A to Z, and look forward to continue to reading. I’m an over-thinker too. And I will keep posting.
Great Alison! Can’t wait to read more from you. Jennifer
I know a few others who are going to continue with other challenges of blogging once daily in May since they’re in the groove so the speak. I myself am ready for a break and my laptop is acting a bit squirrelly and i think it needs one of those Geeky Guys to check it.
Enjoyed meeting you and will definitely continue to read.

” if a word falls on a page and no one is there to read it, does it really make a sound? I now know the answer. It is a constant echoing in your mind, revolving there until it finds a way out through a reader. ”
THAT explains the voices. Whew. Glad that got cleared up.
Congrats on finishing A-Z.
So happy I could be of assistance. 🙂
