The A-Z blogfest really worked a number on my goove.
I usually check my blog, write and schedule a couple to post, respond to comments, and check the blogs I follow before I get settled in to a writing mode. It can take a while, but it keeps me connected and allows my train of thought to settle on more writerly thoughts.
With the A-Z blogfest I wrote twenty-four posts and scheduled them before the month of April began. The only posts I wrote during the month were M and Q. Coupled with April's ridiculously busy schedule, this meant I spent a very minimal time in the blogosphere. I was terrible of checking the other A-Z posts and did not even follow up with my own comments until after I had completed all 26 letters.
While this was not good in the world of blogging, it was even more detrimental toward my current projects. I have hardly written anything for a month. A month! I had hoped to finish Courtly Abandon by the end of the school year (6/10) and that day is rapidly approaching. So, with this blog post I hope to reestablish my mojo and jump back into the fray. I will post this shortly, then check other blogs, then (duh-duh-duhhHH!) write. Tonight I will write a good thousand words of quality story. I will write forward without going back to add Jane's father into chapter five or change Baron Whosit's name. I will press on and be productive. It will be wonderful.
That said, now I have to actually do it. So, without further ado, here I go.
Wish me luck. :)

Well, if it means more blog posts, I am all for it! Love your stuff Erin :) Good luck with finishing your book!!! Yay!
You can do it! I know what you mean about the A to Z Challenge. I didn't have them scheduled, which I wish I'd done at least a few in advance of. But it was still a hectic month. lol
I really enjoyed connecting with you during the A to Z Challenge. I have a Versatile Blogger award for you at my blog!
Good luck retrospectively!! How did it turn out? You can't leave us hanging like this!!
