This challenge was worthwhile for me and I received enough feedback from others to get totally addicted to it.  Even that little bit of self-imposed pressure of joining the challenge made it easier to write every day (Sunday excluded) and the alphabet prompt definitely made it easier for every letter except Z. I met quite a few amazing writers and hope to get to know them better as I continue reading. It’s becoming clear that for a blogger, time spent reading and commenting is almost as important as time spent writing.  I know it helped my stats but it was also a bit depressing to see how many zillion more followers and likes other people had.  But “followers and likes” were unknown to me a short time ago and at least I’ve got a start.  It was just plain fun.  And my inner circle of regular readers seemed highly entertained by my efforts.   Thank you so much everyone!!   Here is a repost from a few days ago.

3. Writing regularly gives you more opportunities to write something good.
4. Not everything will be great or even good, but something is probably better than nothing
5. Reading other’s writings stimulates your own.
6. Readers who interact are immeasurably valuable, they become friends and mentors.
