Being a blogger is a lot like being the member of a family. There are certain members you see all the time, some that you see only on special occasions (e.g. the A to Z Challenge), and some you rarely see (if ever). There are some you love, some you like, some are mere acquaintances, and some you try to avoid. And there are a lot of members of the family that you don't know yet.
Make this the year that go visit some of the blogs that you only see on special occasions. Most of them are pretty active even when they're not walking through the alphabet. Go see what they write the rest of the year. Who knows? You might find your next blog buddy.
Challenge yourself: look for people on the list whose blogs you have never seen. Look for a few who just started blogging. They could really use you friendship and support. They're members of your family, too.
Happy blogging, and have a great day!

ReplyDeleteA beautiful metaphor, John, which describes perfectly my experience of the A to Z in the five years it has been my pleasure to be part of "the family". I am busy trying to complete my posts for this year - "P" is almost in the can, after which I shall certainly look for new members of the family, meanwhile I have already had some new and steady visitors.

Yes, when I started blogging, I didn't realise how it could introduce me to so many people! https://suestrifles.wordpress.com/2025/04/07/authors-beginning-with-f-atozchallenge/

I have sketched Fellow Fashion bloggers, I have had IRL meetups, yes, truly a Family! You "know" the person after reading their blog and it's Fantastic to Fall right into conversation because they're already Familiar.

ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely family, and thank you to all those who make me feel part of it. In fact, I treat most of you like family - see you on special occasions, but often think of you without you knowing it :)
