The A-Z Challenge Edition - The Woven Tale Press

I am very flattered to have one of my 2013 A-Z Challenge posts make it into the Special Edition of The Woven Tale Press. Put together by the delightful Sandra Tyler, whom I am sure many of you know as the savior of blog posts.



Out of the thousands of posts that were submitted for this year's A-Z Challenge, twenty-six of them made their way into this "summary" of what the challenge is all about. Poetry, art, fiction, observations, a true mix of the kind of creativity the challenge brings out. With a record number of participants this year (over 1700 I believe) we had a staggering 44,000+ posts in total!

When I read about this Special Edition being put together over at The Woven Tale Press and saw there were a few letters still needing posts, I submitted to three or four of those letters. Never really thinking there was any chance I would have a post selected, I was excited to see an email in my inbox from Sandra stating she wanted to use my "G" post for her book. I told her, "Absolutely!"

With great irony, my "G" post happened to be the only one where I featured the creativity of others but nonetheless, that creativity I felt was worth promoting. The title of the Post is Global Street Art and some of you may remember reading it.

I have read through this Special Edition and was entertained by every selection that Sandra chose. I am honored that I made the "cut". Thanks Sandra!

Below is the link to the book. If you were an A-Z participant this will bring back recent memories...if you did not take part in this year's challenge then maybe this will incite you to think about joining us next year!

Please read and enjoy...

LG: Congrats to you as well! What an interesting little story you had you start the book off. I didn't get to your site during the challenge but the road trip will take me there.

Alex: Thanks Alex...I think I might actually have read it on your site that there were still some letters up for grabs. I'm not sure.

Hi Chuck .. that is wonderful news - well done. I just remember the Thomas the Tank Engine Tunnel photo .. some of the work is quite extraordinary - to have the vision and then be able to reproduce it as an art work on a building .. staggers me.

Congratulations on having your work accepted .. so pleased for you .. cheers Hilary

Well now, congratulations are definitely in order here!! You are very diligent when it comes to making your alphabet posts work...and who but you should deserve the accolades.

Chuck said...

Lee: Thanks! Promotion on the A-Z and other places may get the Challenge over 2000 participants next year!

Shannon: Thank you. You must not have submitted or you would be in there too:)

Tammy: Yeah, considering the number, I was fortunate to have made it.

Hilary: I can only believe that at least one of your posts was more than worthy of being included. There was a tremendous amount of street art from the UK that was really spectacular. Thanks!!

Anni: Too kind. More like Frantic to make my posts work!!! Thanks.
