in retrospect

a couple of thoughts on National Blog Posting Month

first, i now know never to try national novel writing month. i'd never get anywhere. i wrote far too many "just before midnight" posts to fool myself into thinking i could actually write a book in a month.

second, i should prob'ly limit my blog posts a bit, as i tend to post more random junk when i'm trying to post often. one solid post each week would be a good goal from here on out.

third, sometimes it takes a goal to get you moving. i wanted to tweak the style of this site for a while, but it wasn't until i had to look at it every day that i actually made time to do it. i also added a few new content types: images, quotes, and links. so for all my good intentions, it took a goal of making daily posts to actually take action on my intent.

overall, it's been a good month. i think. but then i'm not the one that had to read all these random posts.

what do you think? should i do NaBloPoMo next year, or have you had enough?

thanks for sticking out the month :-)

I still need to post for today, but I think it was worth it. I too posted too many random junk posts, but it was a nice challenge. I'll be ready for it again in another year.

If nothing else, you'll probably have more good intentions next year that you've been putting off...

I enjoyed it. If you had been rambling on for useless pages and pages, or linking to people who did, then it would have gotten laborious, but as it was, you tended to keep it pretty pithy. Short and to the point. So I thought it was cool.

I am so proud of you! Yay for Justin! I just realized though, that you don't ever use the shift key to make capital letters... what's up with that?

no look! i capitalized "National Blog Posting Month"...
