Z is for Zenith



Yes, I have done it! Huffing and puffing, I have made it to the zenith, the summit of the A to Z Mountain. And I have visited all 1282 A to Z blogs. What a challenge, what fun.



In honor of my fellow Challenge Bloggers, here are 26 of the blogs I especially enjoyed. It was hard to choose, but I had to draw the line somewhere, and 26 seemed the appropriate number.

www.katieosullivan.blogspot.com Editor, author, mom, dog whisperer

www.thegoldeneaglesblog.blogspot.com Blogs about writing and science

www.abeginneragain.blogspot.com Former physician, current wannabe writer

www.fruitofmylabour.blogspot.com Life of a grandpa on a farm near Malaysian mountain range

www.survivingmiddle-agedwidowhood.blogspot.com Here’s a blog I follow regularly.

www.muruginjehia.blogspot.com Blog called Her World, with great pictures

www.billiemilholland.com I love the title of this blog—Mulled Whine.

www.laughatalzheimers.blogspot.com Yes, it’s possible to laugh at Alzheimers.

www.goldentosilver.blotspot.com Her banner says she’s a senior citizen, tightly clutching her sense of humor for dear life. You gotta love that, especially if you’re also a senior citizen, like me.

www.oaklawnimages.blogspot.com They do cards and prints. I love their beautiful photos.

www.queenofenglish.wordpress.com Call me crazy, but I love grammar.

www.kachlynda.wordpress.com This blogger loves history and writing.

www.writercize.blogspot.com Neat exercises for writers/bloggers.

Thank you so much for including me in your list of your top 26! This Challenge really did help me because I was in a slump...only posting about 3 a month. Hopefully, I can keep up frequent posting for a while and also keep a tight hold on that sense of humor that has helped me out so many times! I hope you keep visiting me and I have you bookmarked as well. God Bless and keep smilin'!!

Thanks so much for following me all month! I've enjoyed your blog as well. I thought the Challenge was a great exercise in putting out spontaneous writing samples. Now it's back to the "query-sending, new-novel-writing" routine for me. Good luck to you!

Thelma, thank you from the bottom of my heart for listing me. I am truly honored to be mentioned among the 26.

I am also quite impressed that you were able to visit each and every blog of the challenge! I plan to, but am afraid it will take several months to get through them all. Congrats to you!
