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.

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…

    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.

    • Michelle Wallace on May 2, 2015 at 8:03 pm

      Thanks Sara! I enjoyed your “tree-based” stories.
      They were fun and really creative!

    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!

    • Michelle Wallace on May 2, 2015 at 8:14 pm

      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… 😀

    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. 🙂

    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~
