| NOT MY FAULT!!! |
It's the end of the first week for the Challenge and I've been feeling the pressure. Until my own "Do it for the Gipper!" pep-talk, I felt like a failure. Why? Because, last year, I promised myself that I would have all my posts done and ready for this year's challenge and let myself down. Alas, I was lower than pond scum.
Then, I had a nice little rest, forgave myself, and decided to simply handle it in the same frenetic way as the previous challenges -- I rationalized why there were no posts scheduled and waiting for me to hit the 'Publish' button. It was so easy to rationalize, that I wonder why I hadn't thought of it, before (r-r-r-i-i-i-ght). I have forgiven myself, as I know you have and will simply share some other thoughts on failure.

Hi, I am visiting from the A-Z challenge.
ReplyDeleteI think your post is a Success!
I participated last year too and I wrote each day. Actually it was more like Cinderella blogging...click publish before the stroke of midnight.
This year I started off with one post ahead. So far my plan to use Sunday as a way to get one post ahead seems to be working.
I was lucky enough to have the majority of my posts written before the month started (mostly because I raided some old scribbles on my hard drive), but I imagine most people are flying by the seat of their pants on this one.
ReplyDeleteNo worries! I struggled coming up with a theme, then the posts themselves. I finally have them all done but still have to put them in Blogger. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy A-Z!
I learned from last year and starting organising my blogs in January! But it did help that I had a lot of stories and flash fiction unpublished from last autumn. Next year - who knows??
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing

I don't think you've failed at all. I think those who take each letter as it comes are throwing themselves into the challenge moreso than those who are prepared. I can't handle waiting until last minute so my posts were all done before April started. But... I envy those who have the courage to take this challenge as it comes.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the rest of a-z. :)
believe your article is successful Last year I took part as well, and Bookkeeping And Accounting Firms In Dubai I wrote every day. Actually, it was more along the lines of Cinderella blogging publish before the clock struck midnight. I was one post ahead when I started this year. So far my strategy of using Sunday to write one post earlier seems to be working.
