NaBloPoMo: A retrospective

Whew! Okay, so I took a couple of days off from blogging after the NaBloPoMo extravaganza and now that I have some distance, I've had a chance to think about the experience. While I thought that blogging every day for 30 days was going to be an enormous pain and that I'd be running out of ideas midway, I really enjoyed it and I found that the more I blogged the more things I had to blog about. I liken it to staying in touch with people: the more you talk, the more you have to say. But the less you talk and the more the distance grows, the less you have to say. It's like you don't want to burden the other person with the minute details of your life, when the reality is that it's those details that make up life. So keep blogging! It makes you loquacious and it clears up your skin. The NaBloPoMo exercise also got me thinking about why I blog. I started this blog to stay in touch with friends and family. Over time, though, it's really transformed into a great creative outlet for me. And it's put me in touch with new bloggy friends, like Tiffany over at the Would-Be Writer's Guild. So keep blogging! You'll meet new and interesting people, and you'll learn what loquacious means.
