Reflections on 2021 A to Z

  

This is my 3rd attempt--and surprisingly third completion- of the A to Z in April Challenge. A to Z is the challenge hop that asks bloggers to spend the month of April using the English alphabet as inspiration for their posts. This year's participants came from 85 countries.

Reflecting on the 2021 challenge one word came to mind--thought provoking. Besides the difficulty in matching a topic to a letter (more on that later), the short time frame that required a post a day was an additional complication. And since I did both the 2020 and 2019 challenges I didn't want to duplicate their posts. At least not plagiarize too much from my previous ones. The link to the topic list of the earlier challenges is provided to see how the letters have changed.

Then there was the world event called Covid-19 or the novel corona virus. Although some improvement has been made over the past year, travel restrictions, scheduling vaccine appointments, and continued cancellation of volunteer activities, stole the energy to write, and chased the muse away.

The theme for the challenge mirrored what I use for this blog--the characters and settings of my novels with a touch of the writing life tossed in for variety.

Reading through the comments left on the Journey to the Stars and Worlds of Imagination was interesting. Some were already followers of the blog and my fantasy romance novels. Others stopped by because of the topic such as "x" words, writing tips, or music.

The full list of posts from the challenge follows. I hope you'll find a topic or two of interest. ~till next time, Helen
