It’s that time of year again...

November.

Inconceivably, it’s November already.

Yes, November dawned today and with it...NaBloPoMo.

What’s that, you ask? Well, I’m mighty glad you did. NaBloPoMo stands for National Blog Posting Month. It’s a month-long writing challenge that some of us unbalanced bloggers impose upon ourselves each November - and guess what the calendar told me this morning? Time to fire up the ol’ blog.

In all honesty, I kind of love NaBloPoMo. I have participated since 2007 which is as long as I’ve had my blog. I’ve never known a November as a blogger without NaBloPoMo so it feels like a tradition - an old friend come to visit.

The idea of NaBloPoMo is simple: Write on your blog at least once EVERY DAY throughout the month of November. It is supposed to act as a kick in the... a motivational exercise for bloggers to keep writing and not lapse into complacency about updating our blogs. You know, the kind of complacent I have woefully become this year where my blog is concerned.

Although it’s not required that I blog on a theme, it is part of my creative process to choose one and write on that theme each day throughout the month. This NaBloPoMo, I am ripping my theme directly from the pages of my life: “What a Difference a Year Makes.”


I hope you’ll stay tuned for my NaBloPoMo adventure...
