NaBloPoMo

I have been accused by more than a handful of you of having nothing better to do than blog. Specifically, I’ve been told to find something "better" to do than blog. After a great deal of research, I determined that you all came to this conclusion because I happen to post with some degree of frequency.

Part of the reason I post so frequently is that I have issues with what is colloquially known as “verbal diarrhea” and a need to “over share” everything. And by everything - for those of you who may be new here – I mean everything I’m willing to let my mother read. But more than that, I quite simply enjoy writing. I may not be the next winner of the Booker or Pulitzer prizes but writing is how I reach out to the world.

This desire to share my life with the world at large through my blog can occasionally get in the way of reality. I actually told Hubby last month that I wanted to do something semi-dangerous just so I could blog about it. Some people (like Hubby) would consider that crazy. Other people (like me) look at potentially life and death situations as fodder for a good post. I don’t think that makes me crazy – it simply makes me a blogger.

In any case, all of this preamble is my way of saying that you will be seeing even more of me this month than you have in the past. In three years of blogging, I have never once managed to post every day of an entire month. (Shocking but true!) My goal during November is to break that record by joining NaBloPoMo. National Blog Posting Month encourages crazy bloggers like myself to blog every single day for one month.

You non-bloggers are no doubt laughing at how seemingly easy this seems. The bloggers out there are shaking your heads at the drastic concept and hopefully wishing me luck. No matter which camp you find yourself in, I hope you’ll check back daily and encourage me through my usual semi-sane blathering about expat life in Cairo and the obviously lame attempts to fill daily space.

Wish me luck!
