If you haven't yet checked out the write club competition, get on over there and take a ring side seat. Each week, for 16 weeks two 500 word pieces are posted. Selected from an initial pool of 500 in various genres, these pairing square off for a vote from us the audience. The winners of each week are then chosen based on audience input to compete in the finals and semi finals.
You can read the previous weeks winners and participate in selecting in the current bout. It's oodles of fun and may inspire you to compete in next year's competition. Check out Write Club here. I know you will enjoy the experience.

I want to thank Jerry Beuterbaugh for mentioning my blog as a site to see over at As the Crackerhead Crumble. I am humbled an honored to be mentioned. Jerry has some other great recommendations as well. Another blog worth checking out if you haven't yet discovered it.
Delighting in the journey. God bless, Maria
Whew! I can't believe it's been already 15 days since the April A to Z challenge ended. I joined the A to Z road trip, visiting those A to Z blogs and posts I didn't get a chance to visit during April.
No rules, just ride through as many and as often as you can. It's a lot of fun, and you can sign up by adding your name to the linky here. I have been going at a slow pace because, alas, as soon as I signed up, I got sick. I'm still recovering, but have enough in me to at least invite you all along for the ride. If you didn't participate in the challenge this year, check out the challenge website to see the ongoing story of the challenge as posts continue. You may be intrigued enough to consider it next time around in April 2015.
At the top of the website, you can find the links for those who signed up for the challenge or for the those who wrote reflections on the challenge. The link for the road trip was not at the top of the website at the time of this posting, but I hope they add that as well since this is the fourth annual road trip, after all.
I've already discovered some great blogs while on the road trip, traveling through various reflections on the challenge. One was the website of The Slightly Eccentric Diary of Rob Z Tobor. His reflection was a parody of Jack in the Beanstalk that he titled Fee Fi Fo Fum. It's a hoot. Check it out here.
There are lots of wonderful blogs in the blogosphere, no doubt. There are also a plethora of writing challenges, parties, linkys, etc. It can take over your life. The A to Z challenge is a place to expose oneself to a wide assortment of different writers, styles, topics, people from all over the world, and yet, as more than one member of this diverse group has put it, still feel a sense of community. It's quite incredible really. I'm very glad someone invited me to check it out and join in. Now I am inviting you.
God bless, Maria
