Are You Flying or Falling? ( #AtoZChallenge )

We're celebrating our Tenth Anniversary here at the April Blogging from A to Z Challenge.

#AtoZchallenge. The blog hop that made an online community by asking bloggers to spend the month of April using the English alphabet as inspiration for their posts. We're glad you stopped by today.


                                                               ************
         Here we are just a few days into the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge!  How are you doing?   Are you flying through or are you falling behind?  Hopefully you are having fun and not giving in to failure.

         No need to stress.  You're likely doing just fine and if not then it will get better for you I hope.  If you still have a lot of posts to be written then try to do a few each day until you have them done. Keep them short and you can whip together several at a time.  Remember:  Your success in this Challenge is more about content quality than quantity of words in each post. 

          Put on your writing wings and fly--even soar when you can.  Don't fall out before you reach the end of this Challenge.  You can do this!  Yes, you can.

          Fantastic!

Are we having FUN yet? #atozchallenge

Your first full week of A to Z is concluding!

Are you having FUN?

This challenge, first and foremost, is supposed to be an enjoyable experience. While it is designed to challenge you, your focus, writing skills, and your blogging resolve, all of that is moot if you are not having at least some amount of fun with it.

A to Z fun can take many forms. Here is how you can achieve them:

1. Getting appreciative comments on your blog
Sure, "Good post!" is also a sign of appreciation, but everybody loves to get more detailed, personal comments. People reciprocate: The better comments you leave, the more likely they will visit you back and show their appreciation for your work. Everyone likes being complimented.

2. Finding new blog treasures
Visit at least a small amount of new blogs every day. Work your way down the list (even if it's at the pace of a snail). You will find treasures - people, blogs, and themes you love. Make sure to bookmark of Follow them, so you can come back later for more.

3. Making new blog friendships
Blog friendships can last beyond A to Z, and they are the best outcome of the challenge. Nurture them, build them. Connect with your new blog friends through other media - follow them on Twitter, friend them on Facebook, whatever. Enjoy getting to know all the wonderful people out there who share your interests.

4. Participating in the community
Join us for the #azchat Twitter chats! Talk to others about the challenge. Make yourself at home in the A to Z community.
