An idea occurred to me. It was the 2007.. I had just returned to work with a one year old, and I attempted and completed NABLOPOMO. The challenge that gets you to make 30 posts for the month of November. I had no idea it had been 8 years since I did this until I started looking through my old blog posts until I reached all the way back to 2007.
Driving home, it occurred to me with how fast I was reading books this month, I was blogging more than normal. I was almost thinking that I would likely blog about 65 posts, 50 of which would likely be book posts. Judging from the past few years, this is pretty typical for me. It dawned on me, I could very likely challenge myself to crafting 30 posts in the coming weeks, almost within the November timeframe. Then again, maybe not in the 30 day time limit within November (since that would involve some creative time shifting and I don't really feel the need to do that as much as I likely did back in 2008) and the fact that I am now having this idea on November 12... ok, I will admit that I time shifted this post to November 12 just because this was when the idea hit, and it hasn't been until now that I have actually had the time to sit down and actually get the words, and the thought out there.
I am somewhat rusty with this stream of conscious approach to articulating my ideas. It may be a good idea to throw some stuff out there in the next 4ish weeks, and see what sticks, if nothing else.
Therefore for the next 4ish weeks, I will attempt to get 30 posts accomplished. Not all books. Not all knitting. Not all complaining about my mother. I think I am over that. Although that could be a different post, that isn't time shifted.
This is a year of new beginnings. Speaking of which - I think it is time to do the Polar Bear Swim out in White Rock. What a novel concept. I am putting it out there.. January 1, 2016... time to hit White Rock for the annual crazy, cold, cleanse to start the year out right.
