O.K., Here We Go, NaBloPoMo

This month is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo as it's called. Take one month, write a 50,000 word novel. Don't worry about how good it is. It can be 50,000 words of mindless drivel. The point is just to get it done. Get over the fear of writing and just write. Accomplish something. And I signed up. Again. This is actually my 3rd year to sign up. Trouble is, I've never really gotten past the 500 word mark. And I signed up again this year, thinking... if Libby can run a triathlon and then run a half-marathon two weeks later (Go Libby Go! You Rock!), I can do this.


But I came to the conclusion yesterday, I just don't want to write a novel. Rather, perhaps I'll write one someday. But not today, I just don't have the real interest. And honestly, I just don't have the time right now.



It's also National Blog Posting Month, or NaBloPoMo. I written haphazardly in one blog or another for years and years now. I've had blogs using a variety of software, from Greymatter to Movable Type to Wordpress (this blog brought to you by Wordpress). I remember signing up for an account on Blogger when it was all shiny and new and not owned by our Google Overlords. Haphazardly being the operative word here. Sometimes months have gone by between postings in previous my previous weblog incarnations. This is something I can do, even though I'm joining a little late in the game (merry Guy Fawkes Night), I'm going to give this my best. I'm going to write one post a day for the rest of the month.
Any one care to join me?


This is the one and only cross-post I'll do. If you're interested, you can find me blogging at mymonkeymind.com
