Monday--the beginning
Hey there. Come close, I’ve something to tell you. Closer. A
little closer. Ok that’s close enough.
It’s Monday. That’s all I wanted to say and this:
A-Z Talk Again
On a shopping trip with my daughter this weekend, we I
talked about the A-Z Challenge
coming in April. I mentioned [again] how I wish I hadn’t signed up for the
challenge nor told the world I was committing to it.
She said, “It’s good for you.”
I said, “I know. The A-Z is definitely challenging me as a
writer.”
There was much more, but I won’t bore you except to add, I quit
every week—the Blogging from A-Z
Challenge and, it hasn’t begun, yet.
The good news is that writing the 26 posts for the April
A-Z challenge has benefitted me by:
1. Moving my laziness out the back door.
He still tries to get my attention by slobbering and tapping on the window. He
wants to move back in ASAP.
2. Helping me with communication. This is
also called talking to myself. I have 26 posts to perfect. I’ve gotta talk it out,
Bloggers.
3. Giving me a reason to get out of bed in
the morning. Ok, ok, I was already getting out of bed because I have job to go
to. I need to be paid.
Finally, writing for the A-Z Challenge is helping me:
4. Become a better writer. I believe it!
There’s still time to sign up if you want to. Go here to sign up and read all about
it.
I haven’t forgotten my pledge to write one short story a
month and send it out to find a home. I’m in the editing stage of a mystery.
What’s new in your
world?

I have written three posts for April and scheduled them to auto-publish. What I'm struggling with now is making time to write for my blog as well as the three books I'm working on. Sometimes I feel like blogging becomes my distraction from other forms of writing.
I'm just going to go with the flow and see what happens. I agree that I think it will make us all better writers and I'm looking forward to the nudge that it will give me to write every day.
Good luck!
God bless and have a fantastic week!!! :o)
Glad others are feeling a bit of angst. I'm not alone and that's comforting. However, I think your positive spin on it has helped. Thanks.
