Honestly this time being my fifth consecutive time at the A to Z challenge there was so much that came easily to me, the planning for the challenge and other peripherals and yet there were two challenges within the challenge:
1. The difficult topic
I have myself been a Fibromyalgia and Mental Health Survivor choosing the Mental health Awareness theme was both cathartic and triggering in many ways.
Yet I have been wanting to speak about this for a long time now in this manner aprt from my colums and articles at other portals, and when I began to write I felt just 26 days or 26 topics weren't enough to cover the vast subject of Mental Health.

So I picked the most relevant topics according to me and have tried to create a mini database of sorts for anybody looking for basic Mental Health Awareness content.
2. The Tech Curses
April they rightly say is the cruelest month, by mid- month I had at an average about 2-3 posts done in advance and it seemed I was doing fine when all my gadgets seem to act up. So on a borrowed machine I wrote about 12 posts in 3 days and had to keep them scheduled.

Never before in my 4 previous years I had done something like that, so I was challenged with completing the task at hand and maintaining the quality of content I was producing.
To top it all my topic was such that I could not afford to give out wrong facts and figures. This year's challenge has really tested me skills and perseverance and as of now I feel this is my last #AtoZ.
But as they say Never Say Never.
Wishing all the best and thank you to both Blogging from A to Z international family and Blogchatter in India for keeping the spirit high.
Good luck for the future!

ReplyDeleteQuite a candid post and no doubt the A2Z challenge is quite exhausting but all said and done, the feeling of having accomplished the once thought improbable task, is quite satisfying. Kudos for picking up a tough but a very useful theme
ReplyDeleteThat’s amazing Pooja, I’m glad you overcame the odds, and gave us great content. Congratulations on completing the challenge successfully!
