A to Z Blog Challenge: The Letter E

April 5, 2014 By C. Lee McKenzie 61 Comments



The Write Game’s Theme 
AtoZ Blog Challenge
2014
Stuff I Learned or Laughed at from Bloggers in the 2013 A to Z Challenge .

All you gots to do is identify the Mystery Blogger each day. I’ll give you hints when I can. I’ll post the answers and the winner each Monday.
Four visitors (one each week) can win: 
Week 1) an ebook of Alligators Overhead 
Week 2)an ebook of Sliding On The Edge 
Week 3) an ebook of The Princess of Las Pulgas 
Week 4) a $10 gift certificate from Amazon 
 (If you already have one of the prizes, I’ll figure something else out!)
BY
1) identifying the most bloggers correctly=2 points.  
2) leaving witty comments=1 point or more depending on glibness
3) adding to the information and making it more valuable=2 points 

TIES WILL BE BROKEN BY MY CAT. SHE’S FAIR AND IMPARTIAL.UNLESS CATNIP IS INVOLVED, THEN SHE GOES WITH THE BEST SUPPLIER.

Mystery Blogger E’s 2013 theme: “For the entire month of April, I’m going to come up with my own definitions for the words. You are all invited to join in the fun. Leave your definitions in the corresponding comments. Have a go – the crazier, the better. At the end of the challenge, I will provide all the correct definitions for these words.”
E is for EXPERGEFACTION (Definition by the expert blogger.)
This is a natural reflex resulting from an unexpected encounter with your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend/in-law which is followed by a deep sense of satisfaction!
Hint: This blogger was brave enough to rewrite Webster and is always in Transit.

    I knew Michelle too, but I would have never gotten here ahead of Alex unless I stayed up really late.

    Michelle!

    I say this because I saw everyone else guessing that. Can I have a second guess?

    Not Michelle!

    Just in case it isn't her, then maybe I'll win because I'll have a closer guess than them. haha

    Ahh, yes! I remember it well.
    The antics of that clever writer, Michelle
    And she's done it again, laughing away
    at what we think books would say:)

    Extra side of wit, for Alex, who woke up at the crack a$$ of dawn. If, and only if, something *really important and vital to my well being* were on fire, would I crawl outta bed that early.

    Yes, human Lee, I have returned. You do realise that a "Writer in Transit" does have a bizarre fetish for public transport. Notably, any system with the name "Metro." Michelle the Metrosexual. Who'd thunk that, eh!

    This is Michelle! The best thing about her A-Z last year was how she invited commenters to write their own definitions for the words she made up. Everyone wrote hilarious entries! (When I make up words, it's usually less on purpose and more like "What do you mean that's not a word?!")

    It's amazing how creative some bloggers get with their themes. Sure is a lot of fun revisiting these, Lee πŸ™‚ No guess today, since I saw the answer in the comments already.
