NaBloPoMo November 2009

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.

So say­ing I’d do NaBloPoMo this year, or at least this month of this year, wasn’t such a great idea after all. I’m still bat­tling the lat­est depres­sive episode, and that means that my cre­ativ­ity is shot to hell at the moment. Every time I think of writ­ing, I real­ize it’s likely to turn into a major bout of kvetch­ing. Who wants to read that?

So I don’t blog at those times. I’d rather remain silent, or at least write it in a pri­vate journal.

For­tu­nately dur­ing my tem­po­rary silence a cou­ple of ideas have snuck into my brain and started per­co­lat­ing. So maybe I’ll come out of this enough to write some­thing use­ful, non-kvetch-ing, worth­while shortly.

Yep, even though the NaBloPoMo group is active all year around, Novem­ber is offi­cially National Blog Post­ing Month, with the chal­lenge of post­ing every day for 30 days. I did it suc­cess­fully last year (yay me!) and I do believe I’m going to give it another shot.? This time might be a bit of a chal­lenge since I’ll be in Augusta vis­it­ing with Dee from Thurs­day to Sun­day next week, but since I won’t be totally with­out com­puter access I think I should try. Doing it was good for me last year; I think it will be good for me again.

I do NOT promise to stick to any one sub­ject, though. If I feel like writ­ing about lam­p­work­ing, lam­p­work­ing it shall be. If my cats do some­thing wonderful/stupid/funny/cute, they’ll be the sub­ject. Shoot, they may write the Thanks­giv­ing Day entry again for all I know. I will TRY not to get too polit­i­cal, but how can any­one help com­ment­ing on pol­i­tics a lit­tle bit THIS year?

Stick with me — I’ll try to amuse or enter­tain you, or at least make you feel like life doesn’t suck as much as you think it does.
