Excellent start to the #atozchallenge Everyone!

Here we are, five days in - how are you all doing?

I think we're off to an Excellent start!

How many of you just made the
wee-ooh-wee-ooh noise after reading this?

Part of what I love about the Challenge is all the Encouragement everyone gives one another. Whether to help folks keep going, or even when they just leave a comment to say 'Hey I liked your post!' Whether you are visiting one other person per day or one hundred, us co-host types love the Energy, Empathy, and Entropy.  Keep it up, team :)


~co-host AJ Lauer's theme this year is a choose-your-own-adventure that relies upon visitor comments to be successful! Stop by and join the story!

I'm loving it. I'm finally planning posts for future letters and have a few already done or at least started. I'm also loving exploring blogs I might not have found if it wasn't for this challenge.

I've really enjoyed the visiting, although I wish there were a linky feature to make things easier. The choose your own adventure post was lots of fun! Thanks AJ Lauer! (Waving hi!)

I'm only somewhat participating, but I can hear the panting. People are getting winded already. It's always interesting to see who lasts to the end. (Usually the ones who prepared well in advance.)

I had hard, but great days up till now. I found so many interesting approaches to the A to Z Challenge. I don't follow them all because I know I won't manage it, but up to now I follow 10 to 15 blogs and I try to look at up to five new ones every day ... Well, I try to because after work, cooking, sports and other stuff it's quite hard to do so.
So for me this post as an Excellent motivation again :-)
