Call Me Crazy, But I Am Joining the NaBloPoMo

I AM ONLINE!

I decided to go online in August and averaged ten to fifteen posts a month. I would have loved to blame Google for giving me the Error 404 for around two weeks when I decided to get my very own custom domain, making me forget all the great blog ideas in my head when I did finally got back on line.But the truth is, I am one lazy, clueless blogger. 

If you haven’t met the world’s greatest procrastinator, you are reading her blog now.My mom called me the “in a minute kid”, because I tend to intentionally forget all my chores. I am known to do my work only on deadlines (amazingly, I can turn them in on time!) Now, CALL ME CRAZY, because I committed to NaBloPoMo. (No. 189 in the Blog Roll.  Sheesh, I signed up early.  Cannot change my mind anymore, huh?)

 

WHAT IS NaBloPoMo??? 

It definitely is not one crazy alien in my son’s Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga Wii Game. Nope.Not R2D2 or Jarjar Binks or C3P0 (shoot!I know them characters by heart! The first three movies, anyway…) NaBloPoMo stands for National Blog Posting Month. National Blog Posting Month began in November 2006 as an offshoot of National Novel Writing Month. Now, NaNoWriMo seems like an extremely tiring boot camp for writers, which I definitely am not, I swear.  I definitely could not weave a novel and write 50,000 words in a month, when I average ten measly posts composed of 300 words, plus lots of pictures (to make up for the words) a month. But NaBloPoMo? I bet I could do that. Piece of cake. NaBloPoMo’s only rule is to post every single day this month. Post every day? That I can do. Amidst day job, freelance work, doing piles of laundry and plenty of housework, after-schooling Paula, Nicole and Adrian, I swear I would post.(Oh, please, don’t give me that look…)

NO, REALLY???

Somebody once said (okay, it is such a cliché I don’t know who originally said it), “Practice makes perfect”. So, by committing to post every day this month (I only committed for the month of November, okay?), I hope to become a better blogger and writer (plus a photographer, because it does say in the rules that photos are allowed! Now, if I can only get a better camera…). 

Why don’t you join me and turn this into a perfect bloggingexperience?
