Reflection:  This was harder and easier than when we did the 2015 A to Z Blog Challenge.  Our inaugural year of the Story Crossroads Festival was April 15-16, 2016 and so it was even more intense than usual.  Yet, even with that added pressure, we had wonderful guest writers who brought amazing insights.
