NABLOPOMO 2021.2: NaBloPoMo Kick-Off Post - because Yesterday's Day 1 Post was about the Halloween Parade
You can tell my NaBloPoMo game is strong because I didn't double up on topics yesterday. National Blog Post Month, ie one post per day for one month, requires a strategic approach. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
First rule of NaBloPoMo: don't get overcocky. Even if you think you are diligent or creative enough to mastermind 30 topics easy enough... just don't. The wise do not squander more than one topic a day just like they do not open up more than one of those little cubbyholes a day during a nativity calendar countdown undertaking. Christmas doesn't come early just because you can't control yourself. Neither does the end of November.
It's also possible you can go to hell if you open up more than one cubbyhole a day in a nativity calendar. |
I've struggled through my fair share of NaBloPoMo Thanksgiving weekends caught in acute writers block desperate to get back a few of the stray sentences I had so cavalierly tacked on in afterthought earlier in the month. The brutal truth is nothing noteworthy happens Thanksgiving Weekend. You just sit on your ass on the couch slightly to fully irritated with everyone in a 15 foot radius including whomever it was who stuck their finger in the middle of multiple pies.
You gotta sandbag is my only point.
This is my 6th year, after all, so don't mess with me. I got hard-fought style and technique. I might be the only person in the universe who continues with this NaBloPoMo endeavor long after the whole event petered out like a matchbox car rolling under your grandma's sofa never to be seen again.
Right here you might be thinking that this blog post is going to segue into greater and deeper wisdom. Except it will not. It will end abruptly.
