There's this thing going around the Internet, inviting bloggers to post daily during the month of November. Forgive me, but right now I just can't find the link. I am blaming it on the fact that I am certain I was cheated out of two hours of sleep during our travels. I need a full 8 hours, but you probably already knew that.
I considered joining the whole write daily during November club, but then I couldn't remember the link, wasn't sure if I'd fit in or end up sitting in the corner pretending to play with my cell phone. Also, I do about as well with posting pressure as I do with deadline knitting. So, I am doing this unofficially, on the sly, so to speak.
When I first started blogging, I posted nearly every day. It's as if my mind runneth over with stuff I just had to get out there. . . on the internets. Now, after I peruse my past blog history, I realize that it's pretty boring stuff and what's worse than reading boring stuff? Writing it. I think that's when I quit the daily posting thing. I still try to do it whenever I am traveling, gives me a record of our treks, but otherwise, I often struggle with what to say and end up simply recounting everything I ate over the weekend, what we watched on television and how many times members of my family called to irritate me. Otherwise I would just simply rant about all of the wrongs befallen me and moan about the fact that my folks were right: life isn't fair. And what's worse than feeling pessimism take over? Writing about pessimism.
My personal challenge is to maybe write about some things that I spend a lot of time thinking about. Just to get them out there. This could be a dangerous mode of blogging, and I am certain to change my mind half-way through, but it's worth a shot. Maybe some of these things are rolling around in your mind. Or maybe you'll let me know that I am stark-raving mad and need to seek professional help. Either way, it can't hurt, right?
Sure you want me writing for 30 days straight? It can only go down from here.

I totally support you sister!! You should write every single day in November! I'd do it to - i like challenges, they push me out of my daily humdrum, but i know that i will be out of typing abilities for several days this month. I should try every day that I'm here, but then again...my daily humdrum is comforting. LOL! But write should, afterall, it is Write On.
I'd love to see you participate!
