#AtoZChallenge: My Reflections

I bet you thought you'd heard the last of the April A to Z Challenge, didn't you? It's time for me to reflect back on this experience.

In 2012 I was fresh off three months of heavy flash fiction writing and things seemed to flow well for me. This time around I have spent the last year writing and publishing three novels. Needless to say...this year my A to Z was a bit of a struggle.

But I survived!

First, thank you to my fellow Cuenca, Ecuador writers, Geri Jeter and Carolyn Hamilton for joining in the fun!

Second, thank you to all my fellow bloggers for turning off word verification!!

It was fun to reconnect with some old writing friends from the 2012 challenge, it's so easy to loose touch. I also made some wonderful new friends and will be continuing to read their blogs.

One major difference between 2012 and 2014, the number of blogs participating. Wow! The downside was there was no way to visit all but a small percentage of them. The upside, for readers, was a wide variety of topics.

I also noticed my visitor count started out high, peaked early and dropped like a rock. Of course that may have been due to my content, I'll never know. But I thank those dozen or so readers who stuck by me and not only read but commented! You made my day(s).

I still have 200 or so blog entries to read myself, not sure I will make it through all of them but I will try and I will also try to comment.

So, will I do this again? Absolutely...I've learned that I still love writing flash fiction and as long as people enjoy reading what I write, I'll keep on!
