NaBloPoMo 2020 NaBloPoMo Considerations and Musings

The sad fact is that NaBloPoMo is not really a thing anymore. I have no idea how it started or why it ended, all I know is that five years ago my path intersected with its dying flame. 

And now here we are. 

I'm kind of like the modern day version of Conrad Heyer. Conrad was the last known survivor who crossed the Delaware with George Washington. When he died in 1856, he was 106. In NaBloPoMo years, I'm 106. It is probably more of a stretch to equate my achievement with participation in the Revolutionary War but that doesn't mean I won't attempt it.

All the NaBloPoMo faint of heart so-called bloggers scattered years ago. It is no small feat to post something, anything, every single day for one month. This is big potatoes for people who have far higher blog post standards than I do. And/or more things to do in the evening.

For me, shit gets real right about now. Pre-November, I'm not going to say I sandbag post ideas, but I kind of sandbag post ideas. So the first half of the month, I'm a backlog of inspiration. But right about now, I've crossed off all my little notes to self. Now I have to really scrape the bottom of the NaBloPoMo barrel. This usually amounts to diatribes about vegan lunch meat.

So fasten your seat belt is all I'm saying.
