April 3 question – How long have you been blogging? What do you like about it, and how has it changed?

Jayden: Jeeze, in the craziness of life, I forgot about IWSG this month! At least I saw other blogs I follow posting and realized that I needed to post, too! I started blogging in 2016 so that I could take part in the (currently running) A to Z Blog Challenge. I didn’t know what I was doing, but my friend suggested I sign up, and here I am 9 Aprils later, a co-host for the challenge!

I am always the most consistent with blogging during April for the challenge, and I do enjoy it. I have learned that not everyone wants to read long-form fiction, and it’s okay to write shorter snippets. Something that I have found fun is to write short scenes that don’t need a lot of background, etc. We just get to see a snapshot of something. Kind of like an out-of-context picture but with words.

Richard joined my solo-blogging journey at the end of 2020, going into 2021. I have been really glad to have him on board, and he has definitely kept the blog going when I just didn’t have the bandwidth at times. I very much appreciate his help!

How about you? How long have you all been blogging, especially those of you who are here to check out our A to Z posts!
