Six years ago, I participated in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) for the first time. I’ve blogged every day in November every year since. I joined Team Tiny Peppers for NanoPoblano for the first time in 2015.
So when Rarasaur asked, “Who’s in this year?” in the Cheer Peppers Facebook group, I accidentally spammed her post with GIF replies (search term: raising hand) that didn’t display for me. Like these:
Oops.
I haven’t posted on this blog since April 6. I guess I’m an all or nothing person.
I thought it would be fun to maintain my November streak even if I’ve neglected this blog for most of the year.
Imagine my surprise to find 14 drafts waiting for me. Will one of them move out of draft status and become published? Possibly. Probably. I do have 30 days to fill.
Day 1!
Day one down! All the gifs were right! It’s super exciting!

Good luck! I’m doing the same thing with my short story blog. Check out my Nano Day 1 post.

Great to see you stepping up to the plate and swinging again 🙂 Look forward to more arm waving and wordage from your blog throughout this month! It is actually amazing how a deadline (of sorts) like this can spur you on to post, I’m actually most motivated to write poetry around this time (along with National Poetry Writing Month), so it is all such a positive experience, even if you don’t manage to post every single day, it is fun to participate nonetheless although like you I am aiming for thirty posts or bust! 🙂
