This is the
designated day to offer feedback and reflections on the A to Z Challenge so I
thought I’d do it in the format of ‘Three Things I Think I Think…’
So here I go…
1.) I think the A to Z Challenge sponsored by
these amazing people is one of my favorite events; this is the second year in
which I participated. It allowed me the freedom to consider and implement my
own theme within parameters of the proceedings. With that being said, I enjoyed
the flexibility as well as the challenge to be creative as I desired to be on
any given day!
2.) I think it is a wonderful thing that so
many bloggers participated in this event; WOW! Almost 2,000! Can you imagine?
The premise and goal was to visit as many bloggers as possible. Let’s see 1,900
divided by 30 days is approximately 63.3 blogs per day. At the beginning, I
thought, I can do that; no problem. But as the days wore on and time
constraints interfered, well, I lost steam. So, this brings me to my next point…
3.) I think it’s impossible to try and visit
each blog although as I said, I tried. One of the things I discovered is that I
have my interests and genre of blogs I enjoy visiting and definite ones I have
no interest in pursuing, therefore, I think one of the suggestions I have for
next year is when individuals sign up, you do so by putting yourself into categories
that describes your blog. These may be fantasy, cooking, paranormal, writing
hints, book reviews, photography, or all about life. You could sign up under
one or more groups. This will permit two things- it allows all bloggers to venture
into the categories we have an interest and two, it saves times because there
are certain directions/blogs I will not even waste my time with reading.

continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and
success have no meaning.”
