I did it! I completed the A to Z Challenge. I think I blogged for maybe a week before it started, so this has really been my introduction to WordPress. The challenge definitely provided motivation for writing, and it introduced me to a lot of new bloggers that inspire and motivate me further.
About my theme: I was almost completely successful… there were a few letters I had no places visited, and there were a few letters I just shared something I wrote because I was getting busy or life was happening, you know. I wanted this blog to be about my writing, but I’ve enjoyed sharing travel memories and I think I will continue to do some now and then. I also want to get back to my pet stories now that I’m done with the A to Z: Life Lessons From Furry Friends Pt. 1 and Pt. 2.
My favorite stories to share were definitely O is for Oregon and W is for Wonderland Trail in Washington. I look forward to doing this challenge again next year!
Here’s a recap of all my A to Z posts (if you missed any and are dying to read them :p):
G is for Germany and Germany also G is for Gumdrops because I did a story first.
H is for Hawk’s Shadow and Hidden Handprint
J is for Joshua Tree National Park
O is for Oregon and Oregon: Part two! and Oregon: The Ending!
W is for Wonderland Trail in Washington and Walking in Wonderland
Y is for Yellowstone National Park
Wow! A lot of posts came from this challenge. I am proud of myself for finishing and proud of all my fellow A to Z bloggers who finished as well! 🙂

Speaking as a writer, I enjoy blogs by writers that also incorporate other kinds of posts. You seem to have a good feel for what is post-worthy, so follow your gut and share. I hope you continue to enjoy this new journey of blogging.

Congrats on finishing the challenge and launching your blog. I started my blog only a few months before the challenge too and it was an awesome way to get up and going with WordPress and work on writing skills.

Thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Yours was without a doubt my favorite. You should know that not only am I a huge dog lover, but dogs with the Black and Tan coat are my absolute favorite. I don’t know what it is, but that’s definitely why Choppy has a place in my heart! So happy you share her and Schooner 🙂
