NaBloPoMo 2012

This post may have been titled “NaNoWriMo 2012”,  had I given in to my urge on Oct 31st at about 10 pm. I was this close to signing up for another National Novel Writing Month, but I hesitated and lost out. But, really it’s all for the better, this time around. 

I remember back to the two years I did complete NaNoWriMo and felt such a sense of accomplishment. It was an awesome experience, but this year, I just felt it would be too much.  I so wish NaNoWriMo wasn’t in November. January or April or even July would work better for me. November has got to be my busiest month, what with portfolios to work through and Christmas planning, crafting, etc. And I didn’t want to go crazy and spend every waking minute on the computer. Besides, I had no clue what I was going to write about at all. Which might not be a bad thing. I think maybe next year I’m going to do it again. I just have that little niggly urge that maybe something so challenging might be a good thing for me. By next year I could have an entire book outline ready to go, who knows? (who am I kidding?)

So, I compromised and joined November’s NaBloPoMo yesterday. No pressure to put out 1700 words a day. No pressure to even put out deep thoughts. Just post every day for 30 days. I’ve done it a few times before. I hope to do it again.

And it’ll get the blogging juices going again, ‘cause they’ve sure been thin lately.
