April's mission was to blog every day, excluding Sunday, using the letters of the alphabet to prompt post ideas. Easy, breezy~ right?

Not so much. That's why the code name was A-Z Challenge.

When I was recruited, I envisioned that a theme in my posts would emerge. Like a compass to guide me to an understanding, or awareness, of who I am as a writer.

Looking back, I see the hodge-podge of topics I chose have only my stream of  consciousness in common and my stream of consciousness meanders here, there and everywhere.

Facebook's Status Shuffle got it right. I have ADHLS ~ Attention Deficit Hey Look a Squirrel.

All kidding aside, the A-Z Challenge brought me new followers and lead me to follow other blogs that I may never have found surfing the blogosphere. Although I wasn't able to post comments on all the blogs I visited, I did make daily rounds to fellow A-Zers. It was interesting to peruse all the different topics that people came up with, and I was envious of more than a few. 


 Here's a recap of my A-Z topics.


Congratulatory hugs to all the bloggers who completed the A-Z Challenge. A big thanks to Lee at Tossing It Out, Talli at Talli Roland, Jen at Unedited, Candace at Misadventures in Candyland, Karen at Coming down the Mountain, Jeffrey at World of the Scribe, Stephen at Breakthrough Blogs and Alex at Alex J. Cavanaugh for hosting this year's event.

And a special thanks to Elizabeth Mueller for gifting me with my newest blog award.


So, A-Z Challenge~ That's a Wrap!

Earlier this week, Heather Hellman of Pen, Paper, Lots of Coffee  and E.C. of E.C.'s Ramblings gifted it's KRISTAL kLEEr with the Stylish Blogger Award. Heather Hellman is a YA fantasy writer And E.C. is an urban fantasy and paranormal historical romance author, both of whom I virtually meet via Rach Writes 2nd Annual Writers Platform-Building Crusade. Thanks for the passing along this awesome award, Heather and E.C.

 Now, the idea behind this award is to pay it forward by:
1) Thanking and linking back to the person who gave the award,
2) Stating 7 things about myself in the blog post, and
3) Passing the award to 15 recently discovered bloggers.

I won this award from Sarah Hoss at http://heart-of-romance.blogspot.com. I want to thank her for the award and I hope she knows how much I appreciate it!
