I MADE IT! (Alphabet I)

I have a backlog of  5 blogs including this one. 

But the point is I made it to this one! When I took this challenge up of blogging across the month, the content came to me quite easily. This is the BlogChatterA2Z challenge, where I post one blog each every day for the month of April. 

I need to write on all days except Sundays, and it starts with the Titles of the blog going forth alphabetically. This is my first attempt at the challenge. I have written a few Facebook & Instagram posts in the past, but never put my mind to exercise this way. 

I thought I had it all and would nail this challenge until reality came crashing down on me. I had a plan, at least not a detailed one, but a fairly good one about what I was going to write every day. I would update that list of titles almost on a daily basis when I came across something new that amused me. I had spoken to friends and bothered the shit out of my husband discussing my blogs all day long. Call me crazy!

I would wake up thinking of the blog and the last thought on my mind would be the blog. I was so deeply involved with this. I happily wrote and re-wrote the following blogs:

A - Appa and Coping with his absence.

B - Bedridden and Broken.

C - Cartoon fever.

D - Diverse cultures and Indulgences.

E - Elegance and Sarees: My love for 9 yards of fabric.

F - F*CK: A series of unfortunate events.

G - Good food to good mood.

H - Husband material. Did you find yours?

Well, it was a good run. When it came to the letter "I", I thought I'll write about 'Idlis: The unsung hero' or lovers meet called 'I put a spell on you,' or 'IPL and the wrath of it on people who don't watch Sports'. I was all over the place. It's too soon to call it writer's block. 

By now, my blogs had already gained some traction and I received positive feedback from my inner circle too. I was content, but the pressure kept building up inside my head. 

I have experienced this in the past. I tend to overthink things and end up losing out on what I have in hand. I am not suggesting overthinking is bad, but it has never worked in my favour in the past. It has always led to me not thinking straight and a lot of noise in my head. With every new letter appearing, I was losing my calm all the more. I knew if I continued doing what I was, I am just going to quit and regret it later. It's easier if you're always riding high. But it is more difficult to rise after you fall. If you don't gather yourself and try at it again, you are the one to lose. In this case, I'd be the one to lose. It's okay if I am not at par with the rest, but at least I am happy I am back at it after 5 days. I'll be spamming the feed with five blogs soon including tomorrow's letter 'N'. And if I fail again, I will come back soon. Reviving is the key. 

Let's hope I keep at it than give up on it completely.

P.S.: I have hyperlinked my last few blogs. In case, you've missed reading them, you can read them now. I realised that's one way to gain some traction. :D I am getting good at this.
