Good work!
Thank you as always, @majes.tytyty! Cheers!
My pleasure. I hope my delays over the past 2 weeks did not upset your schedule too much. I had to go to Vientiane, Laos, to get another Thai visa. There were obstacles and delays, so instead of a 3-day run, it took a total of 12 days!!!
And since I was away from my comfy and efficient work station, I was not as productive. But now, I'm back, and am uploading the final 70 or so Vocab posts.
(Not sure what I'll do when all the separate units are posted. Maybe re-start the series and run it again...?)
Hey @majes.tytyty! 😃 No problem! Welcome back! I enjoy joining these challenges since it's a good way to learn new words or to refresh my memory on words I have encountered but never used. You can re-start the series, or introduce another Vocab challenge but done in a different way - perhaps introducing uncommon words with the same first letter (e.g. create sentences using these vocab words that start with M - Majestic, Melancholy, Myriad, etc.) You can start from A to Z, and then start again.
Of course, you can do whatever floats your boat! 😊 Just giving out my ideas here that might help you.
Best of luck!
I hope to join these challenges and be more active on Steemit more often. I've been missing out lots already. I don't know what's really happening anymore, but I do observe that not much people are active in here.
I shall be in the know once again. I hope that's soonest.
Cheers!
