If you’ve been visiting me for the past five days, you know what this AtoZ Blogging Challenge post is going to be about. It’s time for the letter F to step up to the plate. I have a splendid F word I really like, and, no, it’s not that ubiquitous OTHER F-word–although after yesterday and a small computer glitch I was sorely tempted. Who needs the computer to start burping during the AtoZ?
Today’s word is a brilliant one with the power to evoke a strong emotion–in this case, fear.

From the Greek ekstatikos, “characterized by intense emotions.” As I’m ecstatic to be on E, but I’d be more ecstatic to be on Z. How are you doing so far? Did you plan ahead? Did you do a theme? Are you going to make it to Z? Will you be ecstatic if you do? Want to visit more ECSTATIC PEEPS?

Y is for . . . |
Young Adult what else? But I’m wondering if they can continue to call this category of fiction by that name much longer. It seems that a lot of Mature Adults are finding the writing and the stories captivating. In a recent AARP Magazine article their lead story began with Trends: Teen Lit You’ll Love, Why the best new fiction for adults is written for kids.
Maybe I’ll start telling people I write MA. What do you think?
X is one letter that can stand on its head (X) or its feet (X) and look exactly the same. The only others I can think of are H and O. Am I desperate to cross the A to Z Blogging Challenge finish line, or what?
Still, if you think about it, standing on your head gives you a very different perspective as a writer. (I’ve already said that in an earlier post, but it bears repeating.) We just don’t look right upside down the way H, O and X do. Okay, I’m certifiable. Come take me away.
Here are some special XXX for the other A to Z Challenge organizers (I already said thanks to Alex and Lee). Thanks for all the work, bloggers. Thanks for all the fun.
That’s my husband inspecting the interior of this beauty. He kind of WOWs me, too!
Okay, share your idea of what or who has the WOW Factor.
The letter V rules today! |
Today’s letter is V which is kind of exciting because that means I’m near the end of this alphabet marathon. Only 4 more days, and then I slump to the desktop-OR-will I not know what to do with myself when I come to Z and there’s no more A-Z Blogging Challenge?
I’ve be re-Vitalized by this Challenge. I’ve Visited a lot of new blogs and found so many Various, Vital people with strong Voices out the there who I’ll Visit again after this challenge ends.
Have to thank all the organizers who put in so much time and Vitality in this Challenge to make it the success it was. Here are the first two on my thank you list:
Arlee Bird, with his Vivacious, Vivid Marketing posts.
Alex Cavanaugh with his Varied, Vigorous salutes to others.
How about you? Are you glad to see V arrive or will the end of April leave you wanting more?
Sometimes writers need a different perspective. Here’s my perspective for today. U is for UpsideDown. Ever need a new way of looking at things? What’s your perspective?
Now that all the blood has rushed to my head, I can think much more clearly. Go see what the other A-Z blogger have to say about U.
