Reflections: A _ Z Challenge

I'm so glad I went by Tossing It Out tonight because I would have totally missed this deadline.

Oh what to say about the challenge. I am so proud of everyone that saw this to the end (your's truly included). It was a momunemtal task and at the same time stupendous fun. We're asked to reflect and comment on the challenge for purposes of improvement but it is 100% for me just the way things are (well almost).

What I loved best was:

1. Meeting like minded-people. I started blogging in January, not to sure what I wanted to achieve with this, only that I wanted to write something. Thanks to the people I met and their fabulous blogs, I am more or less sure now what I want to do, or at least in which direction I'm headed.
2. Finding out that bloggers are good and kind people.
3. I have established friendships (albeit be they online) that I am sure will last for many years and for this I am grateful.
4. I learnt that I can write something everyday. I viewed this as something of an impossibility in the past. 
5. My first writing project came as a result of a blog post that i had to do for this challenge, otherwise I doubt I would have had that epiphany otherwise.
6. And lastly, it gave me the conviction that I really do want to be a writer and I can do it.

If I really have to go out of my way to find things I didn't like or enjoy than I can only come up with two which I'm not sure are within the control of the organizers:
(Ok, first of all I'm told that I'm tactless and I blame this on account of being a Sag only because its convenient  to do so otherwise I apologise if I annoy/offend anyone) with the following.

1. That list of entrants _ I wish it were in alphabetical order because I never knew where I left off or whether or not I was making progress with the hops. It's probably a minor thing that we can all bear with if you one of those structure fanatics like me.
2. The second one I know I will offend some people with but here goes. I felt the challenge was saturated with Interviews. Especially from the letter I onwards. There were blogs that I simply stopped visiting because of this. Granted there were a few interviews that I did love, three to be exact but otherwise there was just far too much interviewing. I don't know,I just felt that was not going out of the box enough. 

But as I said, I was quite happy with this challenge and really blessed to have been part of it.  I can't get out of the routine of posting something everyday. I love you AZeeee.
