I’ve been playing this game for almost a month now, thankfully the shortest, and I’m ready for it to be over.  NaBloPoMo runs this idea where to participate you have to post every day for a whole month or you’re out.  I like the idea in concept but there are times when I’m behind and then the writing/posting feels more like work than sharing.  Which is to say, "Either I’m not making enough time, or this isn’t worth my time."  But don’t quote me on that.  I will say that having been forced to write every day, I have definitely said some things I didn’t think I would have otherwise said.  For sure.

On the other hand, what NaBloPoMo forgets is that while I may not be blogging everyday I’m still writing every day.  Whether it’s to my email list, my pen pals, or my notebook — one way or another the words are coming out.  Of course, public writing is much different.  Indeed.

A few more days, then it’s back to a somewhat irregular posting pattern.  As was the Interweb meant to be.

P.S. I should add that this month’s theme is "want".  Right now I want this month to be over, because March is one of my favorite months and I’m anxious to celebrate it.
