NaBloPoMo2022… That’s a Wrap!
Well, you guys…. we did it. 30 blog posts in 30 days. I absolutely loved it, and I’m absolutely exhausted. It was SO MUCH WORK. Not just publishing my own posts, but reading and commenting on all the other blogs this month, as well as answering comments. I really tried, but I didn’t get to everyone’s blog posts every single day, and I’m sorry about that. I plan to go back and visit all the NaBloPoMo blogs in a more leisurely fashion, once the dust has settled. This was my second year doing NaBloPoMo, and one thing I love about it is how it makes November a “short-long” month. This is a term my son has coined to describe those periods of time where you’re so busy, the days seem to whiz past- but when you look back on it, it seems very, very long because of all the different things you did (this is definitely preferable to a long-short, which is the opposite phenomenon.) It seems like a hundred years ago that I sat in Starbucks writing a NaBloPoMo post and watching them unpack the holiday cups. So much happened this month, and writing a blog post every day seemed to make each day distinctive, instead of passing in a blur. Congratulations to everyone who participated, and of course a huge THANK YOU to San, our fearless leader. We couldn’t have done it without her. When I started NaBloPoMo last year I thought “This month is awfully busy. Couldn’t we do this in June?” But actually, I think November is the perfect month for it. Now NaBloPoMo seems linked to the busyness and excitement of this time of year… and I already can’t wait to do it again next November.
