ACCOMPLISHING YOUR DREAMS, AND THE DUALITY OF 22
It's letter "B "day on the A to Z Challenge blog. It is said that the second day of any challenge is the hardest. Motivation is pelted with realizations of the commitment needed to succeed. Scheduling and prioritizing become tangible instead of theoretical (inked-in instead of penciled-in 🖋🖉).
Banish the voices that say you can't do this. Hundreds of bloggers JUST LIKE YOU have completed the challenge successfully for over a decade. Don't bow out!
What benefit can come from completing the challenge? Building a better blogging community, for one.
And if you're using your blog to write a book, you might publish it one day!

Wow! This is so inspiring! I haven't written a book yet but I am liking this idea. Will give it a try. Thanks for the challenge ��

ReplyDeleteI have done my A to Z of various monsters, vampires, demons and witches over the years and a lot of the content from those posts have gone into my books.

ReplyDeleteLast year my aim was to complete a book I was writing, and although I fell short, it gave me enough momentum that I did get it finished and it is now out with friends and family for comment. Anybody who followed "Train Wreck" last year and would like a pdf to comment on - please let me know!
ReplyDeleteMy crisis of commitment will come when I have caught up with my pre-written posts and transform, butterfly-like, into a pantser... But I have made it through twice sooo...

Enjoy!
Congratulations to all those bloggers who have become authors!
ReplyDeleteI tried to convert my posts from 2020 into a book, but didn't think it worked well enough. I am working on another book at present, but I'd like to publish some of my blog posts in book form later.
Here's my B post https://suestrifles.wordpress.com/2022/04/02/birth-in-bethlehem-atozchallenge/

Ooh yea, my first novella, Coexist, was first drafted as an A to Z blog series! (Then, of course, I rewrote the whole thing lol)
ReplyDeleteAnd also, my little e-handbook, The A to Z of worship leading.
B for Bayangan
Good morning! This is an outstanding post for B. I wish everyone luck who is trying to make their dream come true. I was in the middle of writing my first book when I first participated in the A-Z challenge in 2014. I did not complete that first challenge but I did publish the book. ☺ You can do it ... today's offering will tell you to Be All You Can Be. So go for it. Don't give up. Persevere!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Always inspired by the A to Z challenge and it's writers -Which has given me fuel for books we have published.
ReplyDeleteWishing each of you an awesome month of A to Zing!
My A to Z story (pulled from archives) was birthed at The Passage hotel in 2007 in Odessa, Ukraine. I changed the time period to the present. I hope you feel the courage and tenacity of the Ukrainian people as this fiction unfolds.
The Basics
One dayI hope one o fly books will be published and perhaps I may write about it for A to Z.
ReplyDeleteAtoz posts becoming a book is like a dream! And your posts are inspiring and give much needed push to go through the challenge
ReplyDeleteWriting a book from a blog sounds like a neat idea. I've never considered it, but kudos to all who have.

Hello J, Biggles here.
ReplyDeleteI know Mummy's read some of your books made from the A to Z Challenge. I wonder if she could find five other guinea pig or at least animal books to go with your list?
We're doing our Favourite Things on GeorgesGPWorld this year :)
I don't think any books are on our list :(

We all need posts like this more often!
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all bloggers who have become authors because of this challenge!
Although I'm late to read this, since we're on L today, it really spoke to me especially, 'Motivation is pelted with realizations of the commitment needed to succeed.'
ReplyDeleteI don't feel that at L and M.
