My Reflections on the 2024 April A to Z Blogging Challenge

The first of the reflection questions was ‘Did you win?”  Personally I have a hard time calling myself a winner. But if winning is based on completing all 26 letters of the alphabet in the month of April than YES!!!! I DID IT!!! WOOOHOO!!

• I am excited because this is the first ‘challenge’ I can say I completed and on time! So many times I sign up for things and end up falling behind and then giving up. This though gave me the boost I needed to get back into writing regularly. That is something I have been talking about doing for a long time. Now, thanks to participating in this challenge I am doing it. 
• Do you believe your blog saw an increase in traffic and comments during April 2024? A little bump. Everything counts. More than that I wrote regularly and for me that’s a huge win. Now my next goal is to find ways to see an increase in those comments and traffic. 
  • Any thanks? Yes a huge thanks to the team for putting this together. To the team and participants who encouraged me. 
• Have you learned anything because of the #AtoZChallenge? Yes that consistency is key. 
• Did you use a theme in 2024?  I went with the mental health theme. I think I like the idea of having a theme. Previous years I blogged for part of the challenge I did not have a theme and I was not as consistent.
• Any thoughts on themes?NO  I like them for myself but to each his own. 
• Was taking part in the challenge a positive experience for you and your blog? YES

• Did you post an alphabet of letter-inspired posts? Yes
• Did you HOP to other A to Z participants?Yes
