NaBloPoMo is a Bust

Well, November was National Blog Posting Month and the goal was to blog every day.  I thought it sounded like a great idea.  I thought it sounded fun.  I thought I could do it. 

But could I?  Did I?   Nope.  I discovered that I just don't have that much to say, and I don't seem to have that much time to say it in either.  Maybe it's better for anyone who reads this blog that I only blog when I really have something to say.  Maybe it's really a kindness.  Yes, that is going to be my new philosophy.  What is that saying?  "Better to not say anything and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

The other problem with NaBloPoMo is that it is in November.  November, as you may well know, is the month before December.  December is the month that Christmas is in.  Therefore, if you are like I am and are crafting one or more gifts, which might otherwise be the subject of blog posts, you realize that you can't blog about these items because the recipient of said gift might actually be a reader of said blog, and therefore said surprise would be ruined.

So, good bye NaBloPoMo.  Maybe I will celebrate you in July.

National Blog Posting Month

November is National Blog Posting Month - or NaBloPoMo - great acronym. Kind of a mouthful, and doesn't really flow, but hey!  Who am I to criticize?

I have read lots of blogs where folks are going to try to post every day.  Well, I have already missed out on that, but I've decided that I will try to post every day from now until November 30.  Hopefully, I will find enough interesting things to say. 

Somewhere deep down, I always wanted to be a writer, but I never had the burning desire to write that they say it takes to be successful.  I have lots of notes, jotted on napkins and scraps of paper, tucked in drawers and notebooks, but none have ever come to fruition.  Maybe blogging is the way to fulfill this dream?

Well, anyway, here goes.  Day 1 of a month of blogging!  What fun!
