A to Z Reflections
Well, it’s time to post my reflections about my 2012 A to Z Blogging Challenge experience. This was my second time to participate. Last year I did a word a day, simply looking through the dictionary for words that I didn’t use so much. I made a lot of acquaintances and gained followers. The best part was getting to know Arlee Bird and Alex Cavanaugh. The support they have given me since then has been invaluable.
This year I felt more comfortable and went with a memory theme (food memories). The comments I received from old and new followers were encouraging and fun. Probably the most exciting thing was being mentioned in one of Arlee’s posts, I was so incredibly honored that he recommended me. I did try to visit more blogs this year than last and enjoyed meeting new writers.
I haven’t had much time since then to follow up, but I will. The best part of participating in the challenge is meeting new people and creating new interactions. I have decided that I will do my best to recommend other bloggers throughout the year and give them the encouragement that Arlee and Alex have given me.
Short of some catastrophe, I am definitely in again next year!

Loved your April 🙂 Food really does hold so many memories, doesn't it?
Glad you'll be back for next year!
That is why I'm such a believer in the Challenge. The first one changed my blog forever, so I've used the next two to pay it forward.
I had a grand time this year, though I can not believe how many great folks I am finding NOW by reading the reflections posts!
You had my dream come true – you were mentioned in one of Arlee's posts. I hope I get mentioned next year. I will be back… I had such fun with this year's theme (Women Writers in Literary History) I am continuing PLUS… it may be my theme again or maybe even more niched. WHO KNOWS?)
I look forward to getting to know you more THIS year or perhaps, in between then and now!

Glad that you enjoyed the experience enough to repeat it again this year and then to consider repeating it again next year!

Loved the food posts and ate waaay to much of that stuff while I was frantically writing my posts each day. Congrats on making it through again this year!
This year was also my second year and I think it's a great month for meeting fellow bloggers. I'm already looking forward to next year!
Hmmm, food posts?? I must check them out!!

Congratulation on finishing the challenge. During the challenge I didn't visit as many blogs as I would like to but, cross my heart, I'm visiting every single one with the reflection post! I am so glad my journey brought me here.
Evalina, This and that…
