does this even still work?

Hello?

Is this thing on?

I’m not even sure I know what I’m doing anymore. 6 months and 10 days since my last post. Guess how much writing I’ve done in that time? Clue: I think I’ve just doubled it…

Anyway, my illustrious wife is joining a group of amazing people to do National Blog Post Posting Month. Or NaBloPoMo. Or NaNoPoblano. (Which makes me think of “Nah, no problemo.” Apparently it makes other people think of peppers.) The goal of this group is to post on their blog every day in November, if you don’t know what NaBloPoMo is.

My wife wants me to also join this group.

And go from zero posts in 6 months to posting every day.

That’s like taking a Ford Focus that’s been sitting for 6 months to the race track. I’d thought I’d see if this blog of mine even starts before hitting the races…

But it’s not like I’ve got anything to lose. Even if I don’t post every day, it’s an excuse to get writing again, which I think about pretty much everyday, but don’t do much (note: anything) about.

Now, November isn’t just NaBloPoMo, it’s also NaPoWriMo, writing a poem every day in November. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but if I post a poem on my blog everyday, it’ll be NaBloPoPoWriMo for me.

And, it’s also NaNoWriMo. Write a 50,000 word novel in November. (That’s approximately 1,666.6666666667 words per day in case you were wondering.) Hmm…That would be like taking that Ford Focus and trying to fly to the moon…
