One of the biggest things I enjoyed about the A to Z Challenge was writing about my family. I like writing about my wife and kids, and admittedly I don't do it enough. It's kind of one of the reasons I like to blog about them, and my other favorites like comic books, movies, TV, music, and anything else that rolls around in my head; it's a journal I can go back to and read about the things I've done with the family or if I have accomplished any bucket list items.
As for the other challengers, I definitely found a few go-to writers that I checked in every day. The rest of the time I tried going up and down the list to find something new (almost) every day. It is definitely difficult to keep up with everyone's posts, but I think it's a good thing if you find some you want to go back to and make them a priority. I tried to post on those blogs the most.
I enjoyed my experience and am glad to have made it through every day. Will I do it again next year? I'm not sure, but I will definitely keep you posted.
