NaBloPoMo 2012

It's NaBloPoMo time again -- a shared, self-imposed challenge to post something every day for one month. As usual, I'm feeling a bit ambivalent about starting. The pro/con analysis is something like this:

Cons:

  1. It calls for writing every day. 
  2. It is about writing just for the sake of writing. 
  3. It is a commitment to write regardless of whether I've got something coherent in mind. 

Pros:

  1. It calls for writing every day. 
  2. It is about writing just for the sake of writing. 
  3. It is a commitment to write regardless of whether I've got something coherent in mind.

This kind of writing doesn't come very naturally to me, the daily commitment takes discipline, and it contributes to posts which are decidedly uninspired. But that's all part of the draw, too -- choosing to more intentionally consider each day, to name what I discover there, and to find words to express it.
