I knew it would happen.
When I signed up to the challenge of NaBloPoMo, I already anticipated the end of the month payroll and bookkeeping tasks, Thanksgiving, and a visit from the grandchildren. Throw in all the cleaning, cooking, Christmas decorating, cookie making, and planning time for the next holiday and you have NoMo NaBloPoMo.
It’s all good though. I did manage to write for most of the month. I had neglected my blog for months and needed to get back to writing. It’s just like everything else. Once you start to neglect a skill or a talent or an activity that you really enjoy, it can fall by the way side and sometimes disappear from your schedule.
Here are some ideas I almost wrote about.
Hiding the evidence. I may use this one for Christmas.
Cooking Injuries. and how to avoid them.
I See Faces. No illustration available yet.
If I complete one more post tomorrow, I will have blogged 22 days out of 30, roughly 2/3. I may not have reached my goal, but I did show improvement!
I signed up for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year (I ‘won’ last year, completing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days) but found ‘life’ got in the way (big time!); I managed only 15,000 words. BUT I wrote more than I would have if I hadn’t made the commitment. As my mother would have said, ‘Something is better than nothing’. Congrats on reaching two-thirds of your goal. I enjoyed all your posts!

Thanks. Your mother sounds like a wise woman. NaNoWriMo novels…. that idea has always been in the back of my head but takes so much commitment and time. Congratulations on your hard work.
