Two years back I signed up for my first marathon thinking six months was enough to make myself ready. I fell ill, needed surgery and was off training for three months. I was in bad shape at the start, but lined up intending to run as much as I could. Once I started, there was no question of not finishing, and I did. My first full-marathon was transformational.
The A-to-Z Challenge was no different. I was intending to take a blog-break, but decided to go with the flow as long as I could. Twenty-six drabbles later, I am still alive!

A drabble is a story told in exactly 100 words.
And for completing the A-to-Z Challenge, Elizabeth Mueller awarded me this awesome badge. Thank you, Elizabeth. I shall wear it with pride.
You continue to amaze me with your drabbling. I was in Saturday Centus for a while, 100 words past a prompt. Took me hours longer to do that post than one of my long, meandering memoir tales. You are an amazingly talented writer, and I'm glad we found each other.

You introduced me to the drabble. I have tried - and failed - to get it right. But persistence will pay off, I hope. Thanks for the examples.
ReplyDeleteYeehaw! We can rest on our laurels now - oh surely not a BuNoWriMo!!!! arghhhhhhhhh.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing the A-Z. I managed it too, but didn't get round to visiting as many blogs as I intended so I'm still trying to catch up! Glad I found yours :D
