A to Z Reflections

The challenge is over, so now it's time to reflect on how it went.

Last year, I struggled with having energy to visit other blogs, so this year, I wanted to make sure I was consistent in visiting. I put on my daily to-do list to visit three new blogs each day (minus Sunday. I gave myself that day off.) That worked really well and I visited a total of 88 blogs. It's not mind blowing, but I'm happy with it.

I got a decent amount of comments. The first week was good and each week it went down, but that's not surprising. It happens every year. The challenge starts with a bang then fizzles as time goes on. Blogging every day and visiting is draining. This year, I didn't visit back everyone. Mostly because I forgot. Out of the blogs I did visit, I had two favorites. Natasha's Vampire-themed drabbles and Tyrean's Sci-Fi story, Crash. 

My own theme was very popular. People loved meeting the monsters and musing about if they would pick them or not as a romantic partner. I got quite a few new subscribers this year, too. I think it helped that the posts were short and sweet, too.

I'm glad I joined again this year. Last year, when I thought I'd have to give it up, made me very sad. I enjoy this challenge and always meet new people. It's left me hopeful I can do it again next year.

Congrats on making it through the challenge. Your posts were great. Very short and on point. It was always those huge tomes of posts that made doing the visiting so hard.
