Zenith
is for height, the pinnacle, but in my little A2Z world it means today,
the last day of the 30 day challenge, officially 26 days. At the
beginning I honestly thought I was crazy to commit to even one blog post
a week. After losing virtually all of the first quarter of 2015 to the
day job, my writing schedule had really suffered. I was forced to
suspend writing on Dance of Desire so I could finish Blame it On the
Moon the fourth book in my Destiny Paramortals series. I hadn't expected
the new job to hit my time or my creativity quite so hard. I got maybe
200 words in three months.
Now granted these posts aren't my best work, not that I'm a great blogger anyway, mostly because I spend too much time wanting it to be perfect awesome, meaningful or whatever. During the A-Z challenge I learned to have fun, to write a short blog on a theme, to make time to do it, though I didn't have as much as I wanted to visit some of the other blogs - time, the vast list of A2Zers, and slow internet kept that from happening but I did discover a few new authors, some cool travel blogs, and an extremely well researched, well-articulated and thought provoking blog, the brilly blog, by a courageous and impassioned lover of humanity, Angie Brill. No matter if you agree with her or not, you have to respect these attributes.
I love the feeling of accomplishing something that stretched me out of my comfort zone. Until you try you don't know if you can, so just start. When I self published my first book, my mantra was "I can do this". And I did. Every single day of the 26.
Yay me!
Did you do the challenge? How did you do?
