In my theme for the A - Z alphabet challenge, I concentrated
on linking emotions to something in nature.
Weeks beforehand, I prepared my seeds by composing short submissions
with pen and paper. After typing them onto the computer, I added appropriate
pictures, each with their heading for the day. I set up my email calendar for a
daily reminder of each letter, but found the prompt unnecessary because I was
primed to post first thing each morning with my already assembled material.
While
I readied the growing medium for my seeds, I learned a lot about blogging during
the challenge. I didn't realize, until near the end, the need to post in html
so others could read the writing on the blogger messages they followed.
From now on, I'll make regular blogs. The benefits are
enormous. I've made many new friends, whose written thoughts I will follow.
Having planted my seeds of wisdom for others to follow on my
blog, it took me a long time
to settle into a novel-writing schedule afterward, I've found the whole
experience of reading and commenting on other people's blogs stimulating.
You could say I'm as grateful as a plant growing toward the
light.
