For those of you who have absolutely no idea what title means, NaBloPoMo = National Blog Posting Month, and it begins today, November 1. The premise is to blog daily for the entire month. And I would love to join in, but unfortunately, I just can’t do it this time around.
I love blogging. I get to pour my thoughts out here, pretty much uncensored and unfiltered, just straight out of my head however I want to convey them. Some days I think I have great things to say and could write post after post after post. But other days, well, I just got nuthin’. So I’m afraid that it would be those nuthin’ days that would kind of trip me up here with the whole trying to post continually for a month solid. Sure, you get help with writing prompts and the like, but I still just get this feeling that it would come to feel too much like homework. And I don’t consider myself a “writer”, per se, so right now I don’t feel the need to try to hone some skills by posting for 30 days straight.

Plus, I’m a little busy this month. I actually have a side job, yippee! Most of you probably don’t know, but I started a proofreading/editing business last year called JEditing. I have always been a stickler for good spelling, grammar, and the like, and always say how I should be doing that for my job. I know, I know, I don’t use proper capitalization or punctuation sometimes on here, but that’s different. When I’m reviewing something for others, I’m really good.
But I just started work on a pretty big project, so that will be taking precedence over trying to wrack my brain to come up with daily blog posts. I will be curious to see how everyone else does, though. I give them credit. Maybe I’ll give it a whirl next year, we’ll see.
And if anyone’s in the market for a proofreader, I’m your girl! JEditing at your service.
