Twitter is about the best thing for writers going and the simplest way to send messages and broadcast your posts to your followers. It's a great way to build an audience! So glad you're participating this year. I'm on G+ and am receiving lots of feedback there as well!<br /><br />The best thing about this is the fun, and the connections. I've met some awesome folks on this challenge and made some lasting connections! <br /><br />Again, we're so glad you're here and don't hesitate to ask for assistance or help with brainstorming ideas!<br /><br />Mary aka Viola Fury <a href="http://homelesschroniclesintampa.blogspot.in/.../a-to-z..." rel="nofollow">A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal BlogFest – Sign Up Now #atozchallenge #atozreveal </a>ViolaFuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796592763194795436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-58666210019195471562014-03-01T00:37:00.054+00:002014-03-01T00:37:00.054+00:00Rob, you could just adopt the Cyrillic alphabet an...Rob, you could just adopt the Cyrillic alphabet and end up somewhere in May. I'm kinda contemplating that myself. So, when you get to "ж" which sound like "zhe" or "ю" which sounds like "yoo" or "щ" which sounds like "zhezhe", you will still have another seven days to go!<br /><br />I did that once during #ROW80, knowing that it was finishing for a week or so. I just had my own "Pre-season #ROW80" and kept writing.

I believe the main thing is the interaction with the other bloggers and a chance to shine. Plus, there's that nifty badge at the end of April!<br /><br />But most of all, it's fun.

As for long, or long-ish posts, people didn't seem to mind, if it was entertaining enough, but no one wants to read "War and Peace". It also helps for those of us who have issues with our eyes to not have blindingly bright colors, or weird color combinations, but still, this has got to be one of the best things I've ever done. <br /><br />Added bonus: For months afterwards, I got a bunch of Spam and then "answered" my Spam as if it were Fan Mail. I'm sure people thought I was deranged, but then. . . I have my days.<br /><br />Mary aka Viola Fury <a href="http://homelesschroniclesintampa.blogspot.in/.../a-to-z..." rel="nofollow">A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal BlogFest – Sign Up Now #atozchallenge #atozreveal </a>ViolaFuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796592763194795436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-73928506620072701302014-02-28T22:37:18.178+00:002014-02-28T22:37:18.178+00:00Guilie!
