But, I do love to write, and the A to Z has been a wonderful experience. I have connected with a lot of wonderful people. I will likely continue to visit new people on the list--just not post everyday. :-) How long does the list stay active?

The structure has been a very helpful yoke, keeping me on track, but I can think of plenty of yokes I've felt the need to set aside for a while. And yes, I do feel bad about that.<br /><br />New follower :)Amanda Heitlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05970963185827361806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-89615921860716301602012-04-28T17:07:09.907-04:002012-04-28T17:07:09.907-04:00The yoke of blogging is a bit heavy now. but in a ...The yoke of blogging is a bit heavy now. but in a week or two that will lighten.
