Alright, so November’s finally here – not that I’ve been sitting on the edge of my seat for it, but – it’s the first day of National Novel Writing Month, and the more challenging, National Blog Posting Month.
Last year, same date, I was feverishly typing away at my first stab at a novel – an endeavour I’m so glad to say that I completed – though editing’s taken me over a year. Anyway, this year, I decided to take up the NaBloPoMo challenge.
There! I’ve said it – now that it’s out in the open, I’m going to have to sit and write no matter what. Either that or my ego would kill me, and I’ll have to cringe in guilt knowing I’ve lost a precious opportunity to connect with other bloggers.
But hopefully, that’s not going to happen.
Even to this day, going from Add New Post to Schedule/Publish in one day is quite a task for me – I prefer to create drafts whenever I feel like it and publish them in installments. So, this challenge, I plan to create and publish posts everyday – and use the drafts sparingly.
Also, I’ve taken up the Photography 101 Challenge – so I’ll probably club both challenges together – which will give me a lot of post ideas.
It’s going to be a mindful November – glad to get started.
All the best to all folks facing a variety of challenges this month – any beyond.
Sounds like you are going to have a very busy month. It will be interesting to see what you come up with as far as posts go. I wish you great success on your journey.

Coming by from NaBloPoMo to say hi!.. While I have never written a novel, not having enough nerve.

I still can’t believe I’ve got a first draft done – it’s so unlike me! That’s why I took up NaBloPoMo – to make a failproof commitment to my blog.
This challenge is going to do wonders – can’t wait to meet new bloggers!
All the best to you this month!
