A to Z Recap

Whew. I'm glad that's over.

I found out about the challenge from my blogtacular friend Rae (maybe you've heard me mention her?).  I have taken part in NaBloPoMo, both successfully and unsuccessfully, so I thought I would give this one a try.  I thought having a letter to blog about each day would make it easier.

Um.  No.

I had a lot of fun, though.  It was kind of intoxicating there at the beginning, when I started to get followers and comments.  Then it became kind of stressful and I had a little meltdown there around U and V. 

But I made it through, thanks to some of my new friends, like her and her.  They really kept me going!

I don't think I will be able to post 6 or 7 times a week, but I am definitely going to try to develop a schedule with certain types of posts for certain days.  I may even set aside one day a week to write the posts that I listed in my (U)npost that I really wanted to blog about.  I need to get back to my whiny roots, that's for darn sure. 

I wish I had figured out how to post the badge on my blog.  I was trying not to show my ignorance after the whole comment debacle.  And I have no idea what this linky link thing is, but I will give it a try.

All in all, I really enjoyed this challenge and I am thankful to arlee bird for all his hard work.

Congratulations on making it to the finish line, dear girl! I may not have commented daily, or even regularly, but you are in my *Read These* folder so I WILL be back ... assuming you continue writing! Just don't get too whiny or we'll have to whoop ya! :)

You made it through--that's what matters. And your summary had me giggling... that helps too. I figure if you can get somebody giggling, then you get to call it a success no matter what.

Somewhere along the line I lost track of you, but I've found you again... need to get you in my sidebar, as the brain in my HEAD has a faulty memory, but the brain in the blogger mostly does okay.

Ah yes, the meltdown, the comments, the un-post...so glad to see that I'm not the only one who struggled to finish the challenge. You did a wonderful job! Congratulations.

Woohoo!! You go girl. You did it! I'm so glad you finished it out and really, we do have to go pick a bar fight. ;)

I'm thankful for this challenge 'cause otherwise I wouldn't have met awesome people like you.

Sorry for my comment absence of late. Got sick and am still getting over it.

Have a great week!

You did a great job despite a rocky start with the comments. But you hung in there and made it to the end-- thank you! Let me know if you need any more help putting the winner's badge up. Try Rayna's suggestion. And don't be too whiny. Beth just gave you a Sunshine Award to make you all bright and chirpy and all.
Be seeing you on the blogs.
