First of all, congratulations to anyone who jumped into the Blogging from A to Z Challenge this year. 2020 is challenging us in so many ways even without a solid month of posting in the middle of a pandemic. So if you even gave it a try, pat yourself on the back.I was happy with my theme, as thinking about the little things that bring me joy helped get my mind off of the news, which, as we know, is more bad than good this spring. I did a fair job of staying ahead of the alphabet and tried to keep my posts short enough for a quick read.
What I did not do well was visit an abundance of other blogs. I found some fun ones I visited regularly, and I found many whose posts were so lengthy, I just didn't have the patience. That makes me feel bad, because I know the work that goes into it. Mea culpa, I'm chalking it up to my general short attention span this year. Also, if your comment form is hard to find or in any way difficult, I probably skipped it. I did make sure I reciprocated every comment left on my posts, but unfortunately not every blogger did the same.
All in all, things seemed a little tired in the A to Z world compared to years past. Again, a sign of the times. The good news is that even though April is in the books, we're still out there blogging! And I plan to use the master list to continue to look for new blogs I enjoy.
Thank you to everyone who visited! Stay safe and well, and I hope you'll stop by again soon.
Bravo and I completely agree with you about bloggers not reciprocating... I may have been guilty of one or two, but it was simply because I couldn't keep track of the ones I did comment on. Any how, congratulations for completing. I hope to jump through the list and find a few more blogs to add to my list of favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting! I'm going to go check out some of your posts that I missed!
DeleteIt was perfect the first time. I learn so much from you as well! Keep it up great post.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Nice of you to drop by!
DeleteHi Jenny, I was one of those newbies and did complete and now find that the slightly increased freedom of subject matter (mine was pretty free anyway) is not compensated for by the loss of the discipline and the sense of camaraderie. I look forward to next year - all things being equal...
ReplyDeleteYours was a blog I added to my list of Blogs I Like quite early on but like you, I didn't have time to visit as much as I would have liked, so I am also going to use the master list to keep exploring - to find those kindred spirits...
I like your posts, they are varied, interesting and strike the right tone (for me).
Well, thank you for visiting and adding me to your list! I am also going to keep exploring--or roadtripping--because I'm sure I missed a lot of great blogs. Happy blogging!
