Z is for Zoom… Zzzzzzz
It’s the final day of the challenge!
My theme is NIFTY NUGGETS. Little nuggets of writing based on a photo, a phrase and an object, which is designed to encourage lean, tight writing.
A hearty thank you to L.Diane Wolfe for providing the beautiful photo prompts. I only hope that my words did justice to her beautiful photos.
You can visit her blog to check out more pictures.
ZOOM
This short post is a tribute to all A to Z participants!
Thank you to all who visited and commented on my posts during the challenge. Sorry that I couldn’t get around and visit as much as I intended to. Life threw me a curve ball, in the form of unexpected work conditions…
* * * * *
A thousand pinpoints of light explode———-
Shooting outward they blaze a golden trail of energy.
It’s a collective force, the triumph of thousands… celebrants who forged on tirelessly throughout the month long event.
A dazzling display, marking the close of another spectacular challenge.
… AND THAT’S A WRAP…
Hi Michelle – it’s definitely a wrap and I love that photo of Diane’s to end it all … the Zoom of tiny sparkles …
You did really well with the photos and the stories going with them .. congratulations and now to relax .. cheers Hilary
Yes, time to relax.
I’ll catch up with your pieces over the next few days…
Thank you for the loyal support, Hilary! I really appreciate it.
That is a fitting end to the series. Thank you so much for using my photos as prompts.
Thanks for letting me use them, Diane.
Woohoo! Done and done! Great job completing the challenge, Michelle. I’m like you and didn’t visit as many blogs as I would have liked, but that’s seems to be how it always goes. It was great having met you all the same, and I really enjoyed your stories.
Thanks Sara! I enjoyed your “tree-based” stories.
They were fun and really creative!
Excellent way to finish the challenge, Michelle! Your posts were incredibly good all month long! Way to go!

An excellent ending to another wonderful A to Z! Sorry work threw you a “curve ball.” I hope everything is okay. I also fell really behind during the challenge, and I feel badly that I didn’t visit more often. Congrats on doing an outstanding job despite work problems, doing double duty as a minion, and as Chief of Staff to the IWSG! I’m exhausted just thinking about all you do, Michelle!
Thank you for the visits and comment love, Julie!
I try my best… 🙂
P.S. A reminder that you were my very first commenter on the 2012 Challenge… 😀
Fireworks are the best way to go out! Congrats on reaching the end of the challenge! What a feat. 🙂

I’m also in recovery mode….. 🙂
Yay! You made it!
… by the skin of my teeth… LOL
Beautifully worded, Michelle! Congratulations on reaching Z for the 5th time!!! And I must apologize to you too for not making it to your blog for every post. But I enjoyed the ones I read as well as the gorgeous pictures by L. Diane. Her visuals and your words went together perfectly. 🙂
Thanks Chrys! 🙂
Congratulations on completing the A to Z! Awesome that you wrote something new each day. I always enjoy writing from prompts!
For me, prompt writing is the most enjoyable!
Fireworks make for a great end to the month! You did a great job with everything you had going on. I’m only sorry I didn’t reach all your posts, I’ll have to check back. Congrats!
Thanks Nick!
I didn’t reach all your posts either. Ditto!
Thanks for the fireworks and celebration. Your theme with the photos and word prompts was great. Very creative work.
And lots of FUN! (I pay attention to what you say…)
Thank you, Mary! 🙂
Hey Michelle! I am just blitzing through for the A-to-Z Road Trip. I really enjoyed reading your posts for the challenge. Although I enjoyed all of the stories, my favorites were C is for Cavern Cascade, H is for Haunted Hangout
O is for Ocean Overview.
I did the challenge over at Promptly Written. This blog, The Rattling Bones, is my new one.
I signed up for your email list and look forward to your posts. See you next April! ~Lori~
