Another November, another NaBloPoMo done. I made it through all thirty days, but I came pretty close to not posting on two or three of them. I pre-posted (had Blogger automatically publish a post) on two days while we were camping in the Empty Quarter. I also almost consider the post I wrote about Bilingual Education to be cheating, since it was more to help me study than to contribute meaningful content to the blog.
So really, I think NaBloPoMo was easier than ever for me this year, even with my sometimes loaded schedule. Living in a foreign country provides endless fodder for blog posts, I guess. There's always something I can say about this crazy place called the UAE.
The truth is that I love NaBloPoMo more for what I get than what I give. I love reading blog updates from many friends who don't post regularly during the rest of the year. I also get to read my parents' blogs, which is nice because I get to hear stories I've never heard before. I don't think there was ever a day where I lacked for something good to read on my Google Reader queue. Thanks, everyone.
Here's to next year!

I agree about getting more than I give during NaBloPoMo. And I don't think you need to feel like you were cheating with the language-learning notes. They were very informative, even if they didn't make me chuckle like so many of your posts do.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your posts! Thanks for inspiring me to jump on the bandwagon. :)
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always good and I love November because your mom writes and she has some good stories to tell as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad this NaBloPoMo is over. I struggled with it on more than one day as well. The funny thing is that now that it's December I seem to have a lot to say again. At least I won't feel pressured to write everyday. :)
