Does anyone care if I get to Z? I’m burning myself out this April.
Does anyone care if I miss letters? I’ve done 12 and have 14 more to do.
Who cares if the games are obscure? O is going to be tough, perhaps N even – and then there’s X and Y.
Does anyone care if I haven’t played all the games? I’ve never played on anything but a PC – Nintendo and PlayStation seem to have evaded me. Yet, many of the biggest franchises have been console games.
Do I care what happens? Well, I hate starting and leaving anything half-finished. I don’t like un-finished reads. But most of my draft novels are unfinished.
So why not my posts?
Maybe, I can just post the titles. Or be kind and give some clues – like in a puzzle game.
Except…I care and that hurts now – along with my fingers, head and more. I wish I could lie down.
I care that you do what’s best for you, not that you finish the challenge and maybe what’s best isn’t pushing yourself too hard?

Thanks, Ellen, for caring. I know that pushing doesn’t work and pacing does.

I did the A-Z Challenge my first year of blogging, but it burned me out. To think, I used to post five days a week, and then three, and then two, and then once a week. Now I’m posting every other week and it works just fine.

You at least have established a pattern, Jeri. My posts have become erratic – a monthly insecure post, plus book reviews if I get them written. So, this A to Z Challenge is tough.

I know exactly what you mean. I have a similar blog infrequency.
I write when I like, what I like. But I do enjoy A to Z posts. Every year I think I won’t make it, but almost every year I turn out 26 posts – even if some of them are posted a little late.
This year I decided to pick a theme that I didn’t have to research heavily on. And that’s made it easier.

I should learn from your approach of less research – hahahee. My theme was meant to be easy, but it isn’t…nor was last year’s or the ones before. I never make it easy – but I struggle through to 26.
