Today is not only Sunday, November 30th. Today is also the final day of the torture known as NaBloPoMo. I am proud to have successfully posted every day this month without needing to back post or pre-post in order to reach my quota of 30 posts in 30 days. Heck, one day I posted twice, which means that I actually posted 31 times in 30 days and typed a total of 12,786 words. Wow, I’m tired.
You Devoted Readers who visit and read every day probably noticed that while “the quality of mercy is not strained” my posts during the last two weeks were. My bout of Blog Fatigue™ isn’t something I’m proud of but it is the reason that bloggers don’t post every day. Non-bloggers out there may recognize it as the reason God created weekends. Simply put, everyone needs a day off.
As I mentioned in my first post this month, in three years of blogging, I have never posted every day for an entire month. The reason for this is despite having lots to blog about thanks to my wonderful Devoted Readers, I find myself struggling to fill this space with something meaningful. I don’t want to simply post for the sake of posting, despite what some of my previous entries may indicate. Heck, I’ve even deleted some previously written (but unpublished) posts because, in retrospect, I didn’t think they were good enough.
But I don’t want to be known as a quitter, so I kept writing. I may not have written 31 Blogitzer Award winning posts but I’m fairly proud of at least a few of this month’s posts. That said, I plan to enjoy what will likely be a fairly quiet month in December. Of course, the silence next month won’t simply be my recovering from NaBloPoMo – I will be traveling, which means two new pins for the map. (Stay tuned in the coming weeks for details on these new wandering adventures.)
So here’s to making it all the way to the end! Congrats to my fellow NaBloPo’ers! We did it! Thank you also to my wonderful part-time editor, Hubby, and especially to all of my wonderful Devoted Readers and commenters. I couldn’t have done it without you!
