I did. Yes, I did. I did back-to-back month-long blog challenges.
And I’m glad! Glad, do you hear me? Glad! Glad! Glad!
– Thank you, I did the April A-to-Z challenge one year (maybe two), and I skipped it to do the Story A Day in May challenge, and this year I did both.
Why?
Well, that’s what I kept asking myself.
And here’s my answer:
Because I blog every day anyway, and doing the challenges puts me in company with other people who blog every day.
Because it’s interesting to see how other people approach and fulfil the challenge.Because the A to Z challenge gives me practice in writing short posts and themed posts.Because Story A Day forces me to sit down at the same time every day and knock out a story without second-guessing myself over every little detail.Each one is like an extended writing exercise done out in public, with people you don’t even know cheering you on. It’s great!
Will I do them both again next year? No. No way. Absolutely not. Are you kidding me?
In other words, YES.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: A character accepts two challenges.
MA
