Dear Readers (both of you),

For the last several years in November, I’ve registered for NaNoWriMo. And every year it’s the same output…about 5000 words that go nowhere and get buried away, never to be seen again, and the crushing feeling of self-disappointment at failing — yet again — to meet a challenge that I set for myself.

Earlier today, while cruising around Temerity Jane’s blog (funny, funny stuff!), I noticed a badge that read NaBloPoMo. NaBloPoMo? Naugahyde Blowfish Poetry Month? Of course not. National Blog Posting Month. 30 posts in 30 days. Hey, even I can do that!

There’s a theme, apparently, and for April it’s “Letters.” No promises on how well I’ll keep to the theme…they’ll probably rapidly degenerate into “Dear Blog, here’s what I did today” and “Dear Anonymous Jerk Who Cut Me Off In Traffic Last Night” pretty quickly. Let’s see how it goes.

Affectionately,

A.
