Killjoy: a person who spoils other people’s fun or enjoyment
I know this A to Z challenge isn’t a person but it is being a killjoy of my blogging experience. Wait. I am bummed because the challenge has turned out to be a challenge? That’s weird. I am going to persevere, sorry about that.
I am already thinking of how I will tackle the challenge differently next year. I have a few ideas. Perusing the other blogs has been helpful. I have seen lots of interesting themes. I know it would be best to start drafting posts well before the challenge begins.
Doing this year’s challenge off the cuff has been good in some ways though. I have had to push myself a little, learn to prioritize a bit better. I find I actually enjoy writing each day. This bodes well for August when I plan on starting to conquer my personal goal of writing some fiction.
What I am not thrilled with is spending so much time on the computer. This has been compounded by the temporary loss of my treadmill. I remind myself it is only for one month. Now that I know how to schedule posts I could take a day or two off. It’s not like I can get fired because I didn’t read any blogs for a day.
Here is the link to the A to Z blogging challenge. Maybe someone else could read some blogs for me? There is more than a thousand to choose from!! Thank you in advance 🙂
I think working from a theme and scheduling some posts ahead of time really add to this whole A2Z experience. Gives you time to read others’ posts too. It really IS a challenge though. Good luck with your writing come August. I will look forward to reading what you have to offer 🙂
Many Blessings,
Lori

Doing A to Z really is a challenge!! Good job for keeping up, and don’t get discouraged. Hope you do find time to get out for a walk and/or a change of scenery. Love the dragonfly!

Now that we are up to T, I agree with you. Killjoy. I still don’t have a post written for tomorrow – I’m cruising other people’s blogs instead! I did better this year than last. Last year I wrote as the month went, but this year I had 1/3 fully written in advance and lots of notes on the rest. But still – it is a challenge and I’m wearing thin and ready for it to be over. Love the pic! Just wouldn’t be the same if you had perfectly manicured toenails.

I am hoping to be better prepared next time. Which shouldn’t be hard since I wasn’t prepared at all this time 🙂
