Well, What Now?

Wellpers, it’s Day 30 of NaBloPoMo, and I made it!  Woot woot!  I blogged all 30 days and it was both easier and harder than I thought it was going to be.  I should really send a big thank you to DSB, who was quite patient while I had to make time every day to write, and sometimes it was a lot of time, because of, ya know, writer’s block and answering comments and commenting on other blogs.

That’s something I didn’t do near enough of during the month…comment on blogs.  I’m usually much more up on it, and I vow to get back to it now that the month is over.  I also have some new blogs to add to my reading list, with my rowmies at the top of that list.  Who could forget Marcy, who is bravely tackling her fears one at a time?  Or Marilyn, who puts out more posts in a day than I could do in three, but each one being very high-quality, with beautiful photographs?  Or Dream, with her fun poems and tales from her classroom?  Not forgetting Rarasaur, who is one of the most hardworking dinosaur bloggers out there?

If you haven’t seen their work, go check them out in your spare time.  I know I will be keeping up with them even though NaBloPoMo is over!

Now, as far as my own blog goes, I think I started out the month pretty great, but things went downhill as Thanksgiving angst started to pour in, I quit smoking, and all the stuff hit the fan.  It’s calming down, so hopefully I can do some posts with some more thought in them, instead of a stream-of-consciousness thing.  I like those posts just as much, but I know they can be annoying to read.

I’m going to spend the next couple of weeks sorting through the 200+ new follows I have gained this month, seeing who is worth following, all that jazz.  I am sure at least some of them have to be spam, because I just don’t think I’m all that popular, or good for that matter.  I am also going to celebrate soon, because this blog is getting spectacularly close to 400 posts and I think I’m going to throw a party, complete with sparkling apple cider and party hats.

For those of you reading, thanks for hanging in there with me.  For Mom and DSB, you can breathe a sigh of relief, and it is possible I won’t be quite as obsessed with blogging.  Please note that I said possible, not likely.  😀

  1. One of the perks of this month has been finding people — you in particular — who I have so very much enjoyed reading. I’ve gotten a ton of new followers too and I am also convinced that three quarters of them are spam … but there are real ones, too and I have found new sites that are worth following, though I’m feeling a little overwhelmed by the sheer volume of reading to do in any given day. I can’t actually read that many blogs, not if I’m going to do ANYTHING else … like write, read, cook, eat and oh yeah — sleep!

    We MADE it. Against all odds, we DID IT! I post every day anyhow, but surprisingly, I felt a lot more pressured this month. Committment changes things. Like getting married instead of just hanging out together.

    Thank you for your fabulous support and friendship and for keeping me laughing 🙂

  2. Congratulations! It was a fun month of not only writing but also reading and commenting on so many new-to-me blogs. I am glad I found yours, and I am looking forward to continuing to read about your journey.
