This has been a fun experiment. I had never been a blogger prior to hearing about NaBloPoMo, and quite honestly, I wasn’t much of a blog reader either.
That’s why I initially titled my blog “why are you reading this?” — inexperienced as I was, I didn’t really understand the whole blogging culture (I’ve got a lot to learn!), or why anybody would want to read strangers’ random thoughts.
Then I started reading. The NaBLoPoMo Randomizer provided hours of entertainment! Quite a few blogs I’ve found through the randomizer have become sites I visit daily. Hopefully they’ll keep posting frequently, now that I’ve got my habit!
I am going to continue blogging, though I plan to make some changes to the site. I will be making up a new title for starters — I now know why you’re reading. It’s fun! Even if I’m not the most interesting person in the world, every now and then I’ll have something amusing to say!
Most likely, I will abstain from posting on those less inspirational days in the future, unless otherwise bound. (Holidailies is calling out to me …)
Though, rainy-day, nothing-to-say haiku came out of a slow day, and I kinda liked that one. And just think, without NaBloPoMo, it never would have happened … maybe forcing oneself to write isn’t such a bad thing?
I do consider the random things that come into my head inspirational, like, my recent commentary on spam or when it’s OK to have cookies for breakfast.
The end of NaBloPoMo isn’t an end to random rambling, but the beginning of a more meaningful blog*!
*Until I sign up for Holidailies and force myself to continue daily posting, throughout the crazy Christmas season!
well done on NaBloPoMo… even though I only found you at the end! I did wonder about the name of your blog… wasn’t so inspirational, but I like that you write about normal daily life like I do. We are all just living out our days in pretty similar ways to each other and there’s always something interesting to be appreciated somewhere in there!!!
