The Slacker Returneth

NaBloPoMo Novem­ber 2009

I’ve needed a kick in the pos­te­rior to get me back to blog­ging, instead of merely Tweet­ing and Facebook-​ing. There’s noth­ing wrong, mind you, with Twit­ter or Face­book — they do get you a wide­spread audi­ence poten­tially. But some­times it’s really hard to fit what you want to say into a mere 140 characters!

For­tu­nately here’s the big yearly National Blog Post­ing Month, bet­ter known as NaBloPoMo (a spin­off from NaNoW­riMo), just in time to save me from my inner slacker. Of course, EVERY month can be NaBloPoMo, but Novem­ber is the big­gie, with the prizes and stuff. Most months have an Offi­cial Theme, but not Novem­ber, which suits me just fine and dandy. I did this suc­cess­fully two, or was it three, years ago, so I can do it again. I just need to ded­i­cate fif­teen min­utes or so a day to writ­ing some­thing here.

I’m NOT promis­ing that every post will be a bril­liant epis­tle. There’s sure to be some dri­vel. I’m going to try, though, whether I’m writ­ing about melt­ing glass or sav­ing cats or annoy­ing snowflake stu­dents (or their antithe­sis) or Generic Life.
