Updates & A to Z Challenge

I can’t believe it’s been two months! I’ve really missed blogging and commenting on all your wonderful blogs. These last few months have really trampled me. I actually just spent about two weeks in bed between a cold and having my wisdom teeth removed, and I had no spare brainpower for blogging. But now it’s springtime, and my creativity has returned along with the daffodils.

I have done basically zero crafting in the last term. But I have been writing! I’ve started a new novel in keeping with my goals for this year, and I’m thinking about doing another “Blog a Book” here. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter – do you enjoy reading those?

The lovely Lydia at Noveltea recently posted about the A to Z Challenge on her blog, reminding me that it’s that time of the year again. I had so much fun with writingย Crochet A to Zย last year that I’d like to do the challenge again. This year, though, I was thinking about doing something unrelated to crafting, in the spirit of expanding my blog topics.

What do you think of the topic “College A to Z”? I am definitely far from an expert; I’m only in my second year of college, and I have pretty much no idea what I’m doing at any given time. But it occurred to me that, at least, I understand the plight of my fellow college students. As an anxious, perpetually confused, sleep-deprived sophomore, I may be able to offer a few tips to other college students experiencing similar struggles. At the very least, there are some tips I wish I could pass along to my younger self when she started college.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Should I blog about College A to Z? Should I do something craft-related instead? Or skip it altogether? Feel free to be honest…as well as with the Blog a Book! I know my posting tends to be a bit all-or-nothing, butย I’ve missed you guys! What have you been up to? I hope your spring (or whatever season it is where you live) is off to a wonderful start. ๐Ÿ™‚

  1. Welcome back! I’ve missed your cheery posts, and I look forward to what is hopefully a spring/summer full of your posts. I loved the ‘A to Z’ challenge you did last year, and college is a great idea for a theme. Blog a Book was also really fun last time, and I love your crafty creations, so I’m hoping you’ve got some crochet projects up your sleeve too! Though I’d support any choice you make about the blog. Can’t wait to see what’s to come! ๐Ÿ˜€

      Thank you so much for the lovely comment, as always, filliefanatic! ๐Ÿ™‚ Your support means a lot to me. I do have quite a few crafty projects up my sleeve, and will definitely be sharing those in the near future. I also plan to incorporate crochet into the A to Z challenge this year, because how could I not? ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks so much for your kind words!

  2. OH YES! College posts would be the best thing ever! I’m not in college, but I work at a coffee shop in a college community, and I would be DELIGHTED to have more insight into how they think, etc…! Please, please do! I missed yesterday cause I don’t blog on Sundays, so you should totally jump in with me with letter “B” today. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Thank you so much for your comment, Lydia! Your encouragement is just what I needed. I love reading your posts, and I’m excited to join you again this year. I’m really happy to hear you’re interested in the theme; the coffee shop where you work sounds like just the place I’d love to hang out and study! ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Aww, thank you! AND YAY! This is gonna be so much fun!
