Tomorrow is the last day of the challenge. Did YOU survive? YES? Oh good, but wait, there's more!!!!!
The A to Z Reflections Post!
This tradition started with the very first Challenge in 2010 and has continued every year since. Some of you may be wondering what this Reflections post is all about, so I will tell you.
On Friday May 3rd an A to Z Reflections Linky List will go on line for you add the link to your post of your Challenge reflections. This is the time when you can share your thoughts about the Challenge. Tell all of us your likes and dislikes. Let us know how the Challenge benefited you and what aspects bothered you.
You can also share highlights such as new blog discoveries you made, certain posts that you enjoyed, or things you learned from other bloggers. The Reflections post is your time to tell us what's on your mind about A to Z so we know what we did right and what we should change next year. Also you can feel free to provide any ideas that you think might enhance future Challenges.
When the list goes online, please wait until your post is up before adding your link to the list. Unlike the Challenge itself, for the Reflections list we want you to link directly to your post. This list will remain open for the week following May 3rd so you'll have plenty of time to add your link and you can post your Reflections any time during that week. You can post your Reflections any time after April 30th, but list will not be available to you until May 3rd.
We look forward to hearing from you. And this gives you an added week of doing some more visiting. We hope you have fun and we all become more informed. Any questions? Just ask.
Oh yes and it's all ready to post. Had a great time and already sorted out what to do for the next.
ReplyDeletei have enjoyed the challenge... i have had the worst month, the challenge made it better.
ReplyDeleteI will have to remember to do a write up before. Looking forward to see what everyone else have thought of the challenge.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
The challenge was great. Met many new bloggers.
ReplyDeleteOnly survived because I read other people's blogs who participated. Great resource of new words :-D
ReplyDeleteThe Reflection Post is actually like the 27th Letter of the Alphabet for me, and since I'm a 'Panster'...thanks DL for that word...it will be written last.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder.

O my grief - almost over ... bar the reflections ...
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Phew, another day to know what to talk about, as the end of this theme was concerning me! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe month went by fast didn't it?

ReplyDeleteA reflections post is a great idea. Lots to think about...
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jeremy...one of the toughest months of my life health and family wise, but the Challenge and all that work gave me something else to focus on, and it's been a VERY good thing.

Really busy month. Therefore, the challenge was indeed a challenge. However, thanks for offering A to Z. It was fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy to oblige! It's been a fun and surprisingly smooth challenge. Will type things up for Thursday/Friday.

Looking forward to writing this post!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've survived but I still have to figure out what to write in my reflection posts.
ReplyDeleteYep this was a good thing.

Almost there indeed. Thanks to the A-Z team for the encouragement along the way.
ReplyDeleteI bucked a societal norm today :P
ReplyDeleteCheck it out!
It's been fun...and challenging...thanks for organizing this thing and I can't wait for next year...
ReplyDelete(wait, did I just say that???)
I'd already begun planning one, even before I knew there was an official project!
ReplyDeleteWhen do we get our survivor buttons? :D
yeah... only 'Z' left to go. I will start writing my reflections today. My main gripe is those bloggers that just leave a comment saying 'visiting from A-Z, visit me here and follow me'...with no comment about my blog post!! why bother? (no names mentioned, you know who you are) rant over :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's over with already! I'll be posting my reflections post. :)
ReplyDeleteJust finished writing the draft, and now will follow directions! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've had an amazing time.
ReplyDeleteMet so many great people and learned a lot about my writing

But wait! I have more lobster boats! Oh, well. Maybe some other year! I had a great time at the party! Now to reflect.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I will definitely take part in this, too :)
ReplyDeletePerfect. Loved every day of the challenge. Reading others, getting inspired. Great stuff! Thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteI did it! So proud of myself :) Already thinking about next year challenge :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I'm looking forward to this. I really enjoyed looking over last years reflection posts when I was trying to decide whether to attempt the challenge or not.

I've been looking forward to the A to Z Challenge ever since last year. It went by really fast! I kept up and learned a lot--about myself and others. Many thanks to Arlee Bird for A to Z, and everyone else who participates!
ReplyDeleteYep it sure was a joyride thats come to an end. It was fun!! The last post has a wrap-up of my A-Z journey
ReplyDeletePhenoMenon
Out of interest, is there/will there be a survival badge? :D

ReplyDeleteI knew it would be a problematic month for me this year, so didn't sign up for the challenge. I've been blogging A-Z at my own pace though which has been fun!
ReplyDeleteI must say I've missed the excitement and camaraderie of beng part of such a large and enthusiastic group of bloggers and would like to contribute my reflections on how this has worked for me. Are the team members ok with that?

What a great way to top off a great month! Just when you think its over, voila, you get to reflect. Thanks all for a wonderful experience in the blogosphere. God bless, Maria at Delight Directed Living
ReplyDeletethe challenge was tough at times but all in all it was fun!
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun with this challenge, it's difficult for me to put it into words. It gave me a way to have fun with my writing outside of article writing for work.
