That’s it, my A to Z Challenge is complete! What a journey it’s been! I would like to share that journey with you. To start, here is a recap of which topics I chose for the letters:
A is for Awesome
B is for Bar Etiquette
C is for Cringe
D is for Diary
E is for eBay
F is for Faking It
G is for Getting Motivated
H is for Harry Potter
I is for Inspirational Songs
J is for Jodi Picoult
K is for Killer Blogs
L is for Lessons Blogging Has Taught Me
M is for My A-Z Of Me
N is for Need Vs Want
O is for Obsessions Of Mine
P is for Phobias
Q is for Quotes To Live By
R is for Reasons I’m Happy
S is for Signs You Are Addicted To Blogging
T is for Twitter
U is for Uncle Sam
V is for Victim Blaming
W is for Writing For Yourself
X Is For X Factor Of Writing
Y is for You Decide
Z is for Zealot
Best Post in Terms of Readership
A dead heat between Quotes To Live By and Killer Blogs
The Post I Most Enjoyed Writing
I’ve got to cheat here and have two! Victim Blaming, because it’s such an important issue that I feel needs to be addressed, and Signs You Are Addicted To Blogging, because it was such a fun, light hearted post to write.
Worst Post in Terms of Readership:
Uncle Sam
The Post I Least Enjoyed Writing
X Factor Of Writing, because X is such a tricky letter, there really wasn’t much to go on. Consequently, this post felt forced, which I really didn’t like, but I guess that’s the nature of the challenge!
I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this challenge – it has pushed me to think about topics I may never have covered, and getting out of your writing comfort zone is definitely an experience I would recommend!
I think I will feel a little lost now it’s finished. Being totally honest, the challenge has been like my blogging safety net – I knew I had to come up with something everyday! It has pushed me to get into the routine of posting everyday which I have every intention of keeping up.
I can’t wait to do it next year!
Next year, I will be signing up officially. By the time I joined Twitter this year, which is where I learned about the challenge, it was already underway, but it appealed to me enough that I chose to do it unofficially, hence why it’s half way through May and I have just finished it!
I hope you have all enjoyed reading the posts as much as I have enjoyed writing them!
Now I’m off on the A-Z Road Trip, where anyone who has completed the challenge and wants to take part adds themselves to the challenge and visits other blogs who have also taken part. I think it will be really interesting to see what other bloggers chose for the letters each day.

Good for you for signing up and carrying on even though you missed the beginning of the challenge. I ended up getting ill near the end and had to lump my last 8 posts into two. There is always something to be learned from challenging ourselves to blog A-Z!

I feel like I learned a lot from doing the challenge, especially with being new to blogging. I decided I wanted to post something at least once a day and doing this challenge really helped me get into that routine. Congratulations on finishing, even though you were ill! I hope you are feeling better now π

That looks an interesting writing challenge – I've done similar before with photography and some of the weeks you think will be easy don't always turn out to be. A great list post and would be a great reference post too to look back at #TheList
randommusings29@gmail.com
I agree – some of the ones I thought would be easy weren't, and some of the ones I thought I would really struggle with seemed to come easier. I really enjoyed taking part. Thanks for stopping by π

Thanks for calling by mine on the Road Trip. It looks as if you were a sight more organised than I was for the A-Z. Congratulations of completing the challenge!

You sure had a wide range of topic for your A to Z challenge! Congrats for finishing it, even when you started a little later π My favourite posts were "Getting motovated", "Lessons" and "Quotes" π Looking forward to your next years posts! π

Thank you π I decided it would be hard enough to come up with things for each letter without limiting myself to one topic! I may have a theme next year though π I'm glad you enjoyed the posts. Thanks for stopping by!
