A to Z Challenge Blog 2024, Reflection

Posted bySusanne MatthewsPosted inUncategorized

We did it! We blogged our hearts out and touched the hearts of others –at least that’s how I feel about this year’s blog challenge. Going into my mail and finding the links to all the blogs I followed this year became as vital to my day as that cup of coffee, and responding to the comments a way of connecting more deeply with my new friends.

More than anything else, I had fun. It was uplifting to read the comments and share a bit of myself with others. I learned that people love music to start their day or midday or whenever they read the posts. It actually helped me set the tone for the day, so I may just keep posting my song of the day and why I chose it. Maybe not everyday, but I could handle once a week. Most of the songs I posted were old ones because those were the songs I loved from the best days of my life, even if I didn’t recognized that back then.

To everyone who read the blog, thank you. To those who followed me, thank you even more, and to anyone who chooses to purchase one of my books, you have my eternal gratitude, especially, if you leave a review on Amazon! You can find me here, or there. https://www.amazon.com/stores/Susanne-Matthews/author/B00DJCKRP4

Until next year, here’s another farewell song.

Hi! I live in Eastern Ontario. I'm married with three adult children and five wonderful grandchildren. I prefer warm weather, and sunshine but winter gives me time to write. If I’m listening to music, it will be something from the 1960s or 1970s. I enjoy action movies, romantic comedies, but I draw the line at slasher flicks and horror. I love science fiction and fantasy as well. I love to read; I immerse myself in the text and, as my husband says, the house could fall down around me, and I’d never notice. My preferences are as varied as there are genres, but nothing really beats a good romance, especially one that is filled with suspense. I love historical romance too, and have read quite a few of those. If I’m watching television, you can count on it being a suspense — I’m not a fan of reality TV, sit-coms, or game shows. Writing gives me the most pleasure. I love creating characters that become real and undergo all kinds of adventures. It never ceases to amaze me how each character can take on its own unique personality; sometimes, they grow very different from the way I pictured them! Inspiration comes from all around me; imagination has no bounds. If I can think it, imagine it, I can write it!
