While I may not be taking on the full A-Z Challenge, I have picked up a few letters via the Insecure Writers Support Group website. Today's letter is M and I've written a short piece about how to revive your motivation when it flags. I'd love to see you over there.
Because I'm super busy at the moment with writing, game development and life in general, I won't be posting here until next month, so I'll let you know I also have the letters T and Z on the IWSG website, so be sure to check them out.
Update 23rd April: T is for Time as a Friend
Update 30th April: The Power of Zero
How has April been for you so far?

How has it been? Busy beyond all reason!
April came too soon!
Hope everything is coming along well.
Busy but A to Z only comes around once a year so I dive head first into it.

You have been super busy, I haven't seen you around in days.
Great you're so busy. Me too. Good for you taking a break from blogging to get things done.
Will hope on over, better to be busy than bored
I don't doubt it. And I'm still in awe over how you manage it.
I hear you. I think I'm still stuck back in September last year, lol.
Wonderfully!! I hope to share a little more on the next IWSG posting day.
I must admit, I admire anyone who can complete the challenge in full. Impressive!
Yep, that's the problem with taking on a lot more than I ever have before. I have to schedule my days very carefully to get it all done.
Sometimes it's necessary to take that break. And I do love being busy.
My thoughts exactly! Thanks for popping over, Pat.
It's good to take a break when you need to revitalize or take care of business. We all need that especially in today's busy world.
Like you, I'm not doing postings everyday--my work schedule just won't allow for it so I do what I can and when. I'm having fun with the letters I'm doing.

I'm not sure where I am anymore. I just show up at the computer and hope I'm in the right place.
I lack real writing motivation right now, myself, but I just keep reading and going to writing group in hopes it comes back.
Heading over to check it out! Great topic! :)

Off to check it out. Busy, but having a lot of fun!
I'll check out the link.
Thanks Lynda, I'm on my way over.
Glad you got a few letters in. April is proving to be a Challenging month.

Good luck, and I'm on my way over to view your post now! Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
Even though writing is a lonely endeavor. No one is going to write for you. You don't have to be a hermit! I love my CPs, beta-readers, & Twitter and blogging friends.
Jumping over now!
Doing what we can is all we can do. There's no sense putting unneeded pressure on ourselves.
hahaha, I can relate!
Continuing to read is so important. Your motivation will come back.
Thanks, Jess.
Having fun while being busy is the key :)
I did the full A-Z challenge for two years. It's called a challenge for a reason ;)
Thanks, Medeia
Thanks, Spacer :)
Thanks, Lisa
Well said! And being a hermit is a mistake in the long run. For so many reasons.
Thanks, Ken
See you there :)

My April has been pretty awesome, busy but good:) Thanks again for all your editing help...my agent liked Shieldmaiden and I know it's because I cut all the "smirking" down;)
Ha! Reviving my writing when it flags is EXACTLY how I feel right now :)
Don't think I will do the A-Z next year, but at least I can say I did it once:)
Like you, I'm in awe over how Alex makes it look so easy. He's amazing. Great post, Lynda.
Busy with the Challenge! headed over to the IWSG to check out your Motivation post!
Thanks, Shah
I'm not surprised your agent liked Shieldmaiden. It's a great story --even with the smirking!! ;)
The A-Z is certainly something worth doing at least once.
Absolutely!
And thanks, Joylene
Thanks, Li. I hope you're enjoying the challenge :)
April has been crazy busy. :-)

You all are inspiring to this blogger who can only find time to post once a month on two separate blogs: Adventures in Writing and Camping with Kids. I always learn much reading your blog, Lynda, and following your links to Insecure or wherever you send me. Thanks!
Oooo, Lynda, some more letters to check out. I'm on my way. Thanks!
Yes indeedy!
And you are a huge encouragement. I've been super busy (and still am) but I'm kinda back-ish now sorta ;)
Thanks so much for your support, Victoria
