When I
decided to sign up for the April A-Z challenge, I had thought that it would be
an easy challenge. After all, I only had post everyday for a month and in
addition, the prompt to write was just an alphabet. Didn’t I become an expert in
them, way back in Kindergarten itself?
How wrong I
was?!!!
I decide to
theme it as ‘learning everyday’ by posting about things I wanted my tell my readers
every day. I hadn’t decided on anything particular even when the first day of
April dawned. I called upon all the gods and Angels to help me begin and aha, I
had my A post. A is for Angels.
Thus began
my challenge and every day I will pick the dictionary to prod my idle mind to
stop procrastinating and vomit something onto my blog. My five year old would
question me every day whether I wrote my post of the day and that made me quite
an obedient blogger. He would give wise suggestions for the entire alphabet. He
wanted me to write about B is for boy and C is for Carrot!
I wrote and
wrote every day. I was amazed that I could churn out random posts. I met some
amazing new bloggers, read many interesting posts, made new friends and found new
followers all through the first week. Then tragedy struck. My home internet
connection went down and for a whole week, I had to rely on the slow internet
connection on my phone. I survived again.
In the last
seven posts, I wanted to give my readers a bit more interesting stuff and started to write short
stories. I ended with a short story ‘Wings of Love’ about a nutty angel who
falls in love with an earthling which had began as a post for letter W, but had to be split into four parts owing to its length.
So literally, I began and ended the challenge with Angels…
