How many of you used a dictionary of some kind to find words for the challenge?
Did you stop to think about what it took to create a dictionary?
Sean Penn and Mel Gibson's 2019 film The Professor and the Madman explores that, while delving into the lives of two real people who were largely responsible for the creation of what would become the Oxford English Dictionary.
The critics mostly dislike the film. I thought it was good. If you're a blogger who loves words, or if you've ever been curious as to how a dictionary was compiled, or you just want to see a movie with a workaholic and someone getting treatment for mental health issues (in the 1870s), here you go. The movie is actually based on a book that is considered a biography.

Thank you all for running the challenge and your entertaining posts. My reflections post will (hopefully) be out on Thursday as I return to my usual blogging schedule.

ReplyDeleteThis is my reflection post. Thank you to the organisers, you do a brilliant job.
As I was writing my reflections, I had this idea of having a pre-camp next March to write the posts in advance. What do you all think?

Thank you for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great challenge! https://mollyscanopy.com/2021/05/recap-and-reflections-on-endwell-my-early-teen-years-atozchallenge/
ReplyDeleteI scored 24/26 on the scavenger hunt (so far)!
ReplyDeleteStill searching for Cobwebs and Whales.
REALLY enjoyed your Game theme for the posts this year.
I can't say the Exit Survey gave me any things to consider for my Reflections post. It has in the past, not this time. Seemed to be all questions about logistics. And since it was embedded within the Survey post, the teeny tiny list of words for the categories was worse than trying to read directions on a prescription bottle.
Did I use a dictionary for word search? Nope.
Instead, I Google searched and searched by hashtags on Instagram for a few of the letters for the Shoes.

Thank you A-Z team!
Until next year!
I survived another April A to Z!
ReplyDeleteThis year I met and surpassed my own personal goals. I posted a Monster every day and have plenty now for my books.
I visited every blog on the list and left comments at most. I hope people enjoyed coming by to my blog.
Didn't do the scavenger hunt, but my D post was a Dragon so I at least helped out there.
I think I'll do this next year, need to see what I can think of.

Great job all! I didn't do the scavenger hunt but maybe I'll try that with the road trip. Here's my reflection post.

Gotta give Timothy S. Brannan props for how many comments he left! I knew he hit almost everyone (turns out it was the whole list), because I saw comments he made nearly everywhere I went. Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the movie recommendation. Filled in the survey and signed up for the Reflections list.

I truly appreciate all the co-hosts for doing a fabulous job this year as usual. I apologize to everyone who stopped by to visit. I'm working on catching with folks and I suspect it will take me most of this month to do it. Despite my shortcomings, I had a blast and am looking forward to 2022's A2Z Challenge. Y'all stay well on your end and come by to visit me anytime. ;)
