It’s that time of year again. For the next 30 days, my existence will be based on survival. Pizza will fill my family’s bellies and the boxes will fill my garbage can. Dark circles will take up residence under my eyes. Paper plates will appear in the dish cupboard. Coffee will be consumed (hot or cold) in copious amounts. Grunts, moans, laughter, and bizarre mumblings will float up from behind my laptop. I could go on but, most importantly, my family knows the drill; since it’s not my first rodeo, it’s not their first rodeo.
For the next 30 days, I have committed to blogging daily. It’s a challenge. A tough one. I don’t have a vast backlog of completed, unpublished posts. I have (again) stalled in my writing and will need to find my groove once again. This will push me, and I need this push. I welcome the push. I signed up for the push, because I’m ready to do this.
So, welcome to November or, as I like to call it, NaBloPoMo-2014! Let’s do this!

Let’s light this candle I say. It might be a dim one some days — but let’s do it. ;0

Right now my husband is watching a movie ALONE. Yes, Saturday night IS the loneliest night of the week. Welcome to this CHALLENGE. But I’m so glad we’re on this ride together! Help!

One of the highlights of last year’s NaBloPoMo, for me, was getting to know you and getting to read your wonderful words 30 days in a row. Am so looking forward to doing it again. xo

I feel the same way, Mary Bird. I need the “push”. So, I, too, am “in”. I wish I could say that the black circles under my eyes and my pizza box-filled garbage only appear in November, as a result of a writing spree, but that would not be true. NaBloPoMo would not be the reason. It’s a good excuse, though, and one that I will use 🙂 LOL!
