You might have noticed I went a bit crazy during April, posting weird stories in which each sentence began with the chosen letter of the day. This was my choice of a theme for the 2016 A to Z Challenge.
If you missed any of my stories, here are the links:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
This was my 6th A to Z Challenge. The previous ones were:
- 2011 – Writing and social anxiety-related posts
- 2012 – Places in Jerusalem
- 2013 – Memoir writing
- 2014 – Posts linking authors
- 2015 – Writing historical fiction
How did it go this year?
Very well, I think. I thoroughly enjoyed the month. Fortunately I had all my A to Z stories ready in advance. I’d even chosen a picture to accompany each one.
Even so, I couldn’t spend all my time blogging, and so I wasn’t able to visit as many blogs as I’d have liked. These are the ones I visited:
- I Just Have to Say…: Food
- Sue’s Trifles: Lines from a rhyme
- Sue’s Words and Pictures: Plants
- Keith’s Ramblings: Unusual words in stories
- Djinnia and the English Language: Ghosts, spirits, monsters, and (urban) legends from around the world
- Suzanne’s Tribe: Journey of a broken foot
- Frankly Scarlett: A joint effort
- Stepheny Forgue Houghtlin: A tour of US hotels & inns
- Writing Wings: A story using some really complicated self-made rules
- Scribbling in the Storage Room: The making of the novel: Escape Plan by Elizabeth Hein
- Trisha Faye: How to survive retail life with a smile
- A Joyful Chaos: Random, including Amish-related
- Helen Hollick: Interviews of leading characters from historical novels
- My Magick Theatre: People, places, and things from her alternative history, And Aleksey Lived
- My Writing Journal: Writing-related things
Thank you to everyone who visited, liked and commented on my posts. If I were giving a prize, it would go to Cathy Thomas-Bryant, who gave me so much support and praise.
A special thank you to the organisers of the challenge. They worked hard to make it possible. Here they are.

What a nice wrap up post! Congratulations on six years of A to Z. That’s quite a feat. I was SOOOO impressed by what you did with your challenge this year. There were some great blogs and wonderful themes, but I think yours was the most creative and most unusual. You knocked my socks off on the difficult letter days!
Thank you! You get the second prize.
Many thanks, Miriam! I adored the series, as you know.
You just put a big smile on my face, Cathy. 😀
Hi Miriam, glad your AtoZ went so well – it’s my 4th year and I think I have enjoyed this year even more than those before it. Best wishes for the rest of the year.

Thank you 🙂
What an interesting theme! Reminds me of my olden days in Toastmasters when it was time to do improv.
Thanks! I was in Toastmasters for a while – for the while it took me to realise that making up stories is the way to go.
Many thanks for mentioning my complicated A to Z blog. Devising a mention of yours that might surprise or confuse you.
I’m confused already!
Nice reflection and breakdown… glad you made!
We made it…Hope you had a great time, thank you for your Reflection!

This is my first year participating in the A to Z Challenge. I loved it! The talent is remarkable. I just found you and I think your theme is very creative. I also went “crazy” for all of April. I am proud of it!
Thank you! The first year of many?
I hope!
Congratulations on 6 challenges completed! And all your themes are so unique too

Congratulations on completing your second. Nice stories.
I am finally visiting your fabulous site following the challenge. I too struggled to visit as many as I would have liked. This was my first challenge and even though I had my theme and each post planned, I wish I had completed ready to post prior to launch day.
