Endings are so bittersweet.
Endings are so sweet and sour.
Endings are just really something else beginning.
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
My Taboo Word Challenge ends today. Numerous bloggers took part and excelled at it. You’ll find a link to read these other blogs down below. We used what Google reports as our top 20 most used words. Today’s word is a toughy, but I’m not telling you what it is, yet. See if you can figure it out.
I once wrote a post (albiet a short post) without using a single “e”. I learned that I as I continued to write it became easier to find words I wanted that didn’t have an “e” but retained its meaning. My experience here was nearly identical; difficult at first but easier as I kept writing.
Much like exercise, it’s hard at first. Difficult to keep a routine. Difficult to complete a workout without wanting to passout. Difficult to stop eating junk food. However, with dedication, determination, and whole lotta sweat, you get better. It gets easier.
All through September I gathered a small, yet loyal, band of bloggers to take on this challenge. Take Google’s list of most used words and write your post without it. We did it and today it ends. Our last word. I want to thank and congratulate those who joined me. I tried to read as many of your posts as I could.
I’m not sad it’s over. We bloggers will continue blogging. I’m sure I’m alone when I say it will be nice to not have to constantly check what taboo word isn’t to be used.
When it’s over, we are left with memories and memories (usually) last a whole lot longer…
One day I’ll only have memories of them being kids…
Today’s Taboo word was “the”. To read more posts without my Taboo Words just click the blue frog…

Sorry to point out Erik, but you have a “The” in your post:
“You’ll find a link to read these other blogs at THE bottom.”

Oh no! I didn’t even see that one. I thought Silver Bullet was talking about the the I used at the end of the post. Thanks for clarifying! It’s fixed now! 😀

It is bittersweet indeed. Every challenge I had to recheck the taboo words several times as somehow the taboo word from the previous day/days crept up and then I was not so sure anymore. The checking of that took more time writing as well! Glad you did this! Been fun (and a bit crazy!) To the weekend!

I was checking every day, sometime a few times just to make sure I wasn’t using the right word. Thanks for joining and linking up with us! I’ll bring it back again next year and hopefully get more people.
