Whew — I did it!
With only 20 minutes remaining in the month of November, it’s time to let you in on a little secret. I have been sharing my incredibly brilliant, inspiring, and entertaining thoughts with you — my dear blog readers — every day for the entire month. (You can relax now. That IS the secret.) There’s actually a reason for this… besides the fact that I live a ridiculously exciting life. As soon as I finish writing these words and click the “Publish” button, I will have successfully participated in NaBloPoMo 2007!
NaBloPoHuh?
Yeah, it’s a little cryptic. It stands for National Blog Posting Month. The requirements are quite simple: post every day for the month of November. It’s basically a blogging marathon inspired by NaNoWriMo — National Novel Writing Month. I like to think that NaBloPoMo-ers are the saner ones.
While I love the art and science of writing, I tend not to be either a fast writer or a prolific writer, so NaBloPoMo was a fun challenge. The reason I didn’t publicly announce my participation until now (except on the NaBloPoMo site) is that I never wanted you to think, “Wow, Rachel’s really scraping the bottom of the idea barrel.” :o)
My NaBloPoMo Numbers:
Posts: 30
Words: 8,000-ish
Posts written while sick: 3
Memes: 1
Posts written while I was out of town: 3
Posts I plan to write tomorrow: ZERO!
Then again, you never know.

I knew you were NaBloPoMoing because that’s how I found your little blog, but I still don’t think I would have thought you were “scraping the bottom of the idea barrel.” You must have a better barrel than I do!

Wow! They have something like that for writers. Didn’t know they had it for bloggers too! Neat.
