I first participated in this challenge in 2015 and have continued every year except for 2017 and 2020. In 2017, I was involved with my elderly mother's care, and, well, we all know April 2020 was when COVID began terrorizing the world. Both years were stressful times, and I don't know if I even thought about the A-Z challenge. But the other years, I have usually made a last-minute decision, like this year, to participate. If you read here often, you know that I am not a prolific blogger, and halfway through April, I suffer from blogging fatigue big time during the challenge. Last year, I thought I might do better with a theme, so I chose fruits and vegetables. However, I still had problems coming up with content, even with a theme. But I like to finish things, so I have always battled through to the end. And the interesting thing is that some of my favorite posts were written during these challenges.
So here it goes. Join me if you like.
I always love reading your A to Z posts, so let the games begin!
ReplyDeleteI think we first met during an A-Z challenge. Do you ever think about doing it again?
DeleteOH good! I love when you do this challenge!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how it goes. I always have high hopes in the beginning even if I don't have a plan.
DeleteYou've finished more years than I have! I'm hoping this is a good A to Z Challenge for everyone.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. Good luck with your posts.
DeleteLooking forward to the month of posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kris.
DeleteI'm glad that you are doing this challenge, again. I've enjoyed reading your daily posts and usually learn several new things, too!
ReplyDeleteThis challenge could be a natural for you, Bless, since you post almost everyday already.
DeleteI too made the decision to participate this year on a whim a few days ago, lol. I think the last year I participated was back in 2017. At that time there were about 1800 blogs that did, as I'm sure you remember from years past. Popularity with it certainly has declined! Good luck!

I just looked at the list. The numbers are way down. I think blogging overall had declined. There are so many other platforms for people to put content out these days, and writing complete sentences and paragraphs is becoming a thing of the past, too. But blogging is the right thing for me. Good luck, also.
DeleteGood to see you back for another A to Z. You can do it!
