A to Z Blogging Challenge - A Reflection
In April, I participated in the A to Z Blogging Challenge. The challenge was to post on your blog everyday except Sunday using the letters of the alphabet ...even X and Q.
I accepted the challenge and began to blog. The letters fell quickly. Not all of my posts were solid gold, but they were okay. I talked about characters from my novels, pollen in North Georgia, where my ideas came from, and motorcycles. I was on a roll.
Then something happened. My shoulder gave out.
Call it a pinched nerve or old age, suddenly my shoulder and arm didn't work so good. Sitting at the computer and typing was painful, and the ice bag attached to my arm limited my movement.:) Around the letter P I knew I had to take a break, and I sadly skipped a few letters. I picked it up at the letter X. I'm almost better. My shoulder has gone from shocking pain to just a little stiffness.
Despite the injury, I was able to get 18 out of 26 letters – about 70%. Even though my shoulder exploded, I did have a good time and it was a very rewarding experience. I also picked up a fan or two and a couple of comments. The other posts from the challenge were interesting as well.
Thank you to the organizers of the challenge. You guys did a great job.
Would I do it again? Sure. I just hope my body holds out.:)
