Well I am going to attempt to participate in NaBloPoMo. Apparently November is National Blog Posting Month, at least according to Fussy it is. I first heard about it over at Annika’s.
My head is already swimming with topics. The challenge here is going to be finding the time to post. But the good news, for the four of you that read anyway, is that you will have something new to read every day – woo hoo!!. Or maybe some pretty pictures to look at. Plus, there are prizes. Now, I’m certain not to win any prizes, that’s not why I am doing this. Let’s be clear… I am doing this so I have something to really feel bad about when I find I just don’t have the time to do it. Self-stress – it’s a wonderful thing!
Okay, that’s not why I’m doing it either. I really do enjoy reading blogs. It gives me this strange sense of connection that I enjoy. I’m hopeful that I can provide that bit of joy to people who may read my blog. I also found some blogs very helpful when I was pregnant. As a first time Mom I just wasn’t sure what to expect. I followed the blogs of two people I knew from the Buffy Forums who were expecting at the same time. Meghan had Xan about a month before Hunter was born. Annika had Sammy two weeks after Xan was born. Reading their blogs throughout my pregnancy was extremely helpful and insightful. Steph had Noah shortly after I had Hunter and I love reading about their progress too. It just feels like real life information – not the crap-o-rama you read in What to Expect When You Are Expecting. It’s real life; emotional, raw, funny and sweet, but most importantly real. Yep, that’s what I get from reading blogs and I hope that I can share some of the same.
