NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) - November 2023

Each year I tell myself I’m going to take part in NaBloPoMo, the challenge where bloggers post 30 times in 30 days.

And each November I make the decision to wait for next year. Last week (at the end of October) I thought about it again and decided this year is the year. I used to take part in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and completed this for a few years but haven’t taken part in so long.

Well we are on Day 6 and I can admit the following:

• I had no plan going into this. Zero drafts sitting waiting to be published. Usually I’m quite a planner and yet here I am.

• I woke up on Saturday morning with a what am I going to post today? thought going in a loop until I started writing in my notebook. I then came up with the The Essential List and suddenly it flowed into a blog post.

• Everyone else taking part seems so much more organized. I was still typing late last night hoping to fit it in along with an episode of Selling Sunset before bedtime.

• The past few months have been busy and I can see how I’ve not prioritised enough time to blog.

• I’m enjoying myself even though I’m seriously winging it.

Do you take part regularly in NaBloPoMo? Any tips for a newbie?
