Today, January 26th, marks a first year anniversary for Mish's blog Writer-in-Transit. As part of her celebration of blogging she is here to tell about her love affair with the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge.
A Whirlwind Romance
No matter what people say or how much you read about a whirlwind romance, nothing can prepare you for the experience!Last year, I had a holiday romance. My very first! You know the one where you live in the moment; steal away to connect at every available spare moment; experience that heady anticipation; constantly think ahead to the next tryst; you know it cannot last forever but you can’t help yourself anyway… you are sucked in by this entire episode.
The daily rendezvous was exciting… magical… and just three days short of the end, life threw me a curve ball and – BOOM!! It was over! Just like that! I mean, I knew that it wouldn’t last forever, but to have the “rug pulled from under my feet” was a major anti-climax…
And that, dear bloggers, describes my 2011 A-Z experience. Despite the curve ball (of a technical nature), I DID complete the challenge but failed to do so within the specified time-frame (I posted X, Y & Z two days late…)
Sadly, there was no one to greet me at the end of my Zip-a-dee-doo-dah post. I even re-worked the lyrics of that rather infectious, happy-go-lucky-not-a-care-in-the-world styled song, to suit the mood of that moment.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah
Zip-a-dee-ay
My oh my what a sense of dismay
Total deflation at the end of the day
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah
Zip-a-dee-ay !!
I didn’t get to collect the wonderful “I survived” button or even write a Reflection post (well that’s a whole different story…)
Now to the good news!! This whirlwind romance will resume in about 2 months time. I can’t wait for it… the anticipation… the trysts… the frenzy… the feeling of being swept away on a sea of emotions… and I will be there, wearing my heart on my sleeve!
