NaBloPoMo

So, there’s this thing called NaNoWriMo, which is all about writing a first draft of a novel in a month.  I’m not in the least bit interested in writing a novel.  Not this year anyway.  Maybe next year.  Or perhaps in 2025.  Or even never.

But there’s this other thing called NaBloPoMo, which is all about writing a blog post every day for a month.  Heck, I already make a blog post every day on my art blog!  But that seems pretty easy compared to stringing words together in a coherent way every single day for a month.

Will I be able to write something every single day?  Even on those days when my brain seems to be saying, “Just stare at the pretty lights”?  Well, that remains to be seen, doesn’t it?  I read quite a number of blogs whose authors manage to post interesting items on a daily basis… some even post several times a day!  I can’t even imagine that.  Baby steps, baby steps… one post a day.  Just for November.  This is probably the perfect time of year to start something like this… there is just so much about the impending Holiday Madness that raises my normally low blood pressure into the dangerously average range.  I’m ready to break out the Valium already!  (Gosh, if only I actually had some.  Sigh.)

Oh hey… the time changed last night.  The cable box, my computers and my cell phone all helpfully reset themselve to the new time.  Ha.  Exept that the cell phone kind of overcompensated and set itself back TWO hours instead of just one.  Guess those folks at AT&T/Cingular are overachievers.
