NaBloPoMo

November is the “official” Na’Mo month. NaNoWriMo, for example, stands for National Novel Writing Month. The challenge is to write a novel in 30 days, beginning on November 1st.  There are similar challenges for poetry, drawing, nonfiction writing, and I don’t know what else. Oh, wait! I do know what else… NaBloPoMo!

National Blog Posting Month is a challenge to publish a blog post every day of November. And yes, I’m going to go where – well, where a whole lot of bloggers have bravely gone before. I’m taking the challenge.

Posting daily is easy, really. I could do a daily series on my cat’s antics, but that would just look like the photo below multiplied by thirty.

antics

Posting something of quality, though, is a whole ‘nother matter. And a very subjective one at that.

I’ll try to be diligent in keeping the month’s posts reader-worthy. If I happen to toss in a few (or more) clunkers, please don’t judge (too harshly). And I promise I won’t post thirty photos of my cat or dog for NaBloPoMo.
(NaBloPoMo sounds like something a dentist would hear after shooting a patient’s mouth full of Novocain, doesn’t it? Now my teeth hurt.)
