As you may know, I am a latecomer to this new-fangled technology of blogging. It’s something that I have wanted to do for a long time, but never attempted, because get this…it takes actual commitment. I know! How unfair and stuff. So I waited until my kids were old enough to be on autopilot most of the time, and jumped right in. But I still needed a motivator. Sitting down and actually typing can be tedious when there are bright, shiny objects to look at (did I mention my severe ADD? ), and with that in mind I went out and found myself a motivator.

I stumbled across this National Blog Posting Month site or NaBloPoMo, which, as it turns out does not stand for Nasty Bloated Pond Monster. This initiative is simple, take a month, post every day for a month, and you will have started a great habit of posting regularly. This kind of thing can give you a boost up on your blog success. Cool. So here I go, and for three days straight I posted. And it rocked. However, it turns out that I really don’t want to write everyday. I don’t have that much to say. My life =  not that exciting. Shocking, yet oh so true. Plus, it put pressure on me. I flesh a lot of subject out in my head for days or weeks before I post them. This gives me time to see what works, what may be funny, what may be innappropiate, and what simply has to be discarded for the time being. Asking me to write everyday assumes I can do all that in a 24 hour period. Uh, not so much.

I am leaving the banner on sidebar up for the month of December, though. As a reminder to me that posting regularly IS important, and trying to to force creativity is doom. But you never know, you may get lucky, and one month I may have a lot to say, and I will post it…EVERY DAY. And you will stop following this blog, because you don’ t have that kind of time.
