The A to Z Challenge definitely kept me busy throughout the month of April! Between writing six posts a week and keeping up with other A to Zers, I spent more time in the blogosphere than anywhere else! All in all it was a great experience and I met some really interesting bloggers.
As I continue on my journey as a writer, I will look upon my A to Z Challenge experience as one that taught me I can write on a deadline without losing my sense of creativity.
