I don’t believe I have ever
written a post with so many tags before. And the first might be misleading. I want
to formally announce that I will not
be taking on the A to Z Blog Challenge this April.
As dear Annie of McGuffy’sReader reminded me, there is still time. And I even started out with plans to
share music videos (and you know I would have touted Palaye Royale along with
some awesome My Chemical Romance and Panic At the Disco).
Then I considered stealing
Annie’s theme and sharing snippets of my prose. But in the end time, despite my
lack of outside employment, is a constraint.
It’s not so much the posting
but reading new blogs, which I feel compelled to do in support of fellow
challengers. I already follow so many folks on a near daily basis, I just
couldn’t see adding more. Not when I really want to spend all my time writing.
In fact, I should shout out to all of you with links but fictional characters are calling. ~grin~ Anyway, best wishes to all
who endeavor to run in this spring blog race. And with that I’ll leave you with
something shiny.

I've never done the challenge because I'm lazy. It's far too much work for me. I do enjoy seeing what others do though. Some themes are most clever.
ReplyDeleteI want to start boating, but the weather hasn't been very good. Now I'm sick with a sinus infection so I feel awful. I just know one of these mornings I'm going to wake up and the sun will be shining and I'll feel wonderful again. I just know it.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
I don't think anyone who seriously boats could be called lazy. ~hugs~ And I hope you feel better soon! Yesterday felt like April here, today more like December. Brrr... Thanks for taking time to read and comment despite feeling ill.
DeleteFlordia ......taking a trip to Fla! Yes....I missed out on my Calif trip last yr due to surgery and retirement, not only missing my son but missing the beach. This yr my daughter and hubby are taking the younger 4 boys to Fla. Last yr they took the two older....I was invited to tag along. Making life easier for me they are getting a condo and I just cover my eats and what I do. YAY......Fla. here I come. After Fla.....rest, several days....lots of days I am sure but whatever!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I hope you enjoy a wonderful time and the travel isn't too tough on you. ~hugs~ Be well, my dear.
DeleteI don't blame you for opting out - it's very time intensive, especially checking out other people's blogs. But for some crazy reason I signed up for it again :-)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your contributions! Thanks for the kind word. And Happy Writing!
DeleteAww...dang it. I will miss you in the challenge, but I will still be coming to visit you. But, you knew that. This Spring...I will be doing the A-Z, working on writing (I am planning to submit), and I will be working on getting Chloe Jo straightened out. I am wrecked.
ReplyDeleteTake care of you, too, okay? ~hugs~ So glad to have found you. My love to you and yours, my dear.
DeleteThat's exactly why I'm considering not doing A to Z. It is a time suck. Useful, but...
ReplyDeleteSo glad we met. I enjoy your posts so much. Best wishes, whatever you decide!
DeleteI'm not doing it either, and have no guilt over it. Same reasons, the time, with reading other blogs although that's how I met you, so time well spent that year.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you! I feel the same. And you are too busy, I think, with all the good works you do. Best wishes, my dear!
DeleteI am sorry you won't be doing the A-Z ,but I understand.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the support! I'll enjoy following you still, for sure.
DeleteI'm doing it for the first time. Never heard of it before learning about it on this blog! I was going to do an A-Z anyway, so now I have to take it seriously and get it done! I've already looked at some of the other participants blogs (the ones about dogs and travel mostly). My spring plans involve my regular life, more raised beds and soil delivery! I don't travel much. My son from the other side of the country is hopefully visiting in June though. I haven't seen him in years... what with being on opposite sides of the country and the cost of travel.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you've been separated for so long. ~hugs~ Good for you on undertaking the challenge! I'm glad I found your delightful blog when I did. Be well and Happy Gardening!
DeleteThis is my first year (in 6) considering not doing it. I've seen some others thinking about skipping it as well. Sad but I get it. It's hard keeping up with the blogs you already follow for sure.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on whatever you decide. I need to go read your blog again, now. ~grin~ Happy Blogging!
