NoMo NaNoWrimo

[altivo]

Today marks the start of National Novel Writing Month, infamous for its ability to turn would-be authors into snarling piles of stress as they try to draft a 50 thousand word novel in 30 days. I admit I've been through that several times, and have the [unfinished but at least 50K words each] manuscripts to prove it. I'm not doing it this year. Life is too short, and at my age, shorter yet most likely.

However, with the inspiration from singer-songwriter Charlie Monterey (Twitter: songdogmi) and furry friend Casey (Twitter: casey_382), I will attempt the NaBloPoMo this year. That's National Blog Posting Month (est. 2013 I think,) and an invention of Casey's that I had forgotten. We will attempt to post every day for thirty days. Here is day one before you. Wish us luck.

No promises as to content, other than mine will certainly be safe to read at work and boring to children if read to them.

I’ve missed reading your entries. Bring it on!

I'll try not to bore you too much. There's a lot of stuff happening but most of it seems to be of interest to me and maybe my partner but no one else. Tomorrow (probably) something about the bizarre misjudgements at Ford Motor Company this year.

Will be happy to hear from you.

The more the bloggier. Or something like that. Feel free to join in.

One down, twenty-nine to go!

(This might be a new OpenID ... I lost the old one when I deleted my LJ account before figuring out what to do about the OpenID it had.)

Seems to work. I could have just done it on wordpress myself, but I've been all snooty and professional there while I let my mane down here. 😋

I used to participate in the month, but given that my digital publications were negatively review-bombed, that has somewhat disuaded me from working on fictional work.
