Have you heard of NaNoWriMo? It is National Novel Writing Month. Started in 1999 with only 21 participants, it is now in its 15th year.  Participants (266,250 signed up as of tonight for this year) commit to writing 50,000 words during November (or about 1700 words a day), having a draft of a novel by the end of the month. I have one friend who participated a few years ago and it is striking the number of on-line and in-person support and writing groups that evolve with the process. There are prep courses, meet ups, and it has become huge.

     The blogging world has NaBloPoMo or National Blog Post Month.  According to this site, it started as a joke.  It is now every month with November being the big month in conjunction with NaNoWriMo.  Sponsored by BlogHer and WordPress, bloggers have until 11/5/13 to sign up and commit to a post a day.  There are almost 1800signed up at this time.

     Are you wondering what this has to do with you? Well, I apologize for the 30 emails you will get telling you I have a new post and for the fact that writing one a day will probably mean that the moments I talk about are going to be all over the place.

     If you have any particular moments you want to share, pass them on and I will post them, well maybe I will.
