...Or why A to Z challenge just isn’t possible this year.
It started in 2010 with 100 participants and grew exponentially
every year since into the behemoth it is in 2015. I participated in 2011, 12,
and 2014. Loved it. Absolutely Loved It.
But, Holy Smokes, the time it takes.
Reading the blogger posts of the participants enriched my writerly ways. Making new
friends and viewing the world through their eyes was like standing on their
front porch and seeing it for myself.
But there are only so many hours in the day and evidently, my
organizational skills suck.
And so, I am not participating this year. But I will check the list of those who ARE participating from time to time, visiting my friends and making new ones.
But I’m not
posting or commenting 300 plus times like last year.
Thanks for peeking at my blog. Love having you and expect a return visit.

I take great pleasure
in obscure accomplishments. The Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of
America accepted my request for membership.
My peers know what it means to me. *Doing a Major Snoopy

Congratulations! That is awesome. My publisher isn't one who is acceptable to them, so I can't join. So you scored big.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about visiting all of us insane Challenge people. I understand.
Check out their new standards. Might be you are eligible.

I think that's why they don't require us to visit everyone on the Challenge list. If I had to do that, there is no way I'd participate.
ReplyDeleteI tried to do too much last year. I admit it.
Deletedamn, I'm jealous of your membership into SFWA; that's been one of my dreams.
ReplyDeleteMeh. maybe I got in because they lowered their standards. Check out their new requirements:

Congrats for being accepted into SFWA! I have no time for doing the A-Z this year either.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It's awesome. That is one of my goals for this year.
ReplyDeleteAnd what did I do? Join the morning of April 1st. LOL!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the SFWA!

I'm failing miserably at the challenge this year. Perhaps I shouldn't have signed up. I'm getting posts up just fine, but real life has made it almost impossible to visit other blogs. *sigh* so sad.
