Well, the month of April has come to an end and with it the challenge of A to Z. All those who have participated will heave a sigh of relief . ( Thank God we’ve got through with X Y and Z)  All those who haven’t participated will also heave a sigh of relief. ( Thank God I didn’t stress over this challenge all month long).

Well, I haven’t participated in the challenge this year and even though I didn’t, I am not heaving a sigh of relief simply because I learnt a lot of things following my regular visitors and friends.

What I learnt about the A to Z

The A to Z Challenge is a great concept pioneered by Arlee Bird.

I was intrigued by this unique concept where participants post 26 posts ( from A to Z ) all through April, on everyday except Sunday.

The first year I didn’t choose a theme yet it wasn’t easy. The second year I wrote about the things around my house . And last year I chose to write on the textile traditions of India.

This year, however , I knew it would be difficult because participation also involves reading , commenting and sharing . I often found this became stressful so this year I decided NOT to participate .

But I enjoyed visiting different blogs and discovered some wonderful bloggers .

I also had my highest ever number of views this month (1600 + ).

It was a great ride folks.

See you again next year!

Ciao
