A-Z Reflections

Thanks Flip.  Source.

With the passing of April, the A-Z challenge is finally over.  My fellow participants can now breathe a sigh of relief, catch up on missed sleep, and reattach any limbs that they may have gnawed off in frustration.

But what have we learned from this whole exercise?  What has the A-Z challenge actually taught us?  If you visited other Blogs, you probably learned loads about people’s hobbies, interests, personal lives, and other points of fascination.  However, by reading Muppets For Justice, you have been subjected to a barrage of nonsense.  I make no apologies for that.  This blog is a breeding ground for tomfoolery, ballyhoo, and humorous hubbub.  If you don’t like it, you can bloody well close your browser and flip off, mister!

I apologise for that emotional outburst.  The challenge seems to have made me slightly tetchy.  I have been known to break down in tears whilst performing any of the following tasks during April:

• Walking down the street
• Watching romantic movies
• Watching action movies
• Watching rude lady movies
• Chopping onions
• Rubbing the bald spot that I seem to be developing
• Searching for my sanity

Yes, the challenge seems to have caused several bizarre side effects.  I also have an itchy foot, which I’m sure can be credited to the stress of this blogging ordeal.

So were there any benefits?  Several, actually.  The hallucinations were quite entertaining until the sky fell on me.  The increase in traffic wasn’t so bad either.

Idiotically enough, I decided to take a holiday during April, meaning that I didn’t have time to write any new posts for just over a week.  This meant that I had to schedule my posts well in advance, meaning that one of those in particular was accidentally posted early.  I do this quite often as I tend to schedule posts a week or two ahead, but doing this during a daily posting schedule was rather stressful.  This may be a feeble excuse for not visiting your blogs towards the end of the challenge.  For that, I can only apologise.

Overall, the challenge was enjoyable and it gave me the chance to practice a slightly different style of writing.  I intended to write posts that were a minimum length of 500 words, but occasionally I went well over that target. Considering that I expected to burn out rather quickly, I managed to pleasantly surprise myself, like the time I wore a lacy glove and had a posh wank.  I only hope I managed to surprise you too with my bizarre subject matter and contrived situations.

I hope you’ve all found this entertaining.  If not, you‘ll be pleased to know that the regular Monday and Friday posting schedule shall return next week.  Take care over the weekend folks, and try not to eat any salad.
