Day Fail: I came so close.
From November 4th to 22nd, I managed to post at least once per day. Nineteen consecutive days. And yesterday I SO would have posted all about Jessica's incredibly beautiful wedding, but I didn't get to a computer until close to midnight, and even then, I didn't have internet access. Curse you, slighty-burned house, for keeping me away from my wifi. So, I've failed. I mean, I guess I failed from the start, because I didn't know about NaBloPoMo until four days into the start of the challenge. But now I've double-failed.
BUT...little did you know (she says ever-so-sneakily)...that this was just a...
PRACTICE ROUND!!
Oh, I just had such a great memory flashback to my elementary Sunday School group. Every time we'd play games at the beginning of the service, they'd always play the first round with their however-many student volunteers, and when (notice I didn't say if) the kids totally didn't "get" the game at first, or they just did really badly, the pastors would get up there and pat the kids on the back and say, "That's okay...'cuz this was just a........prrrraaaactice rooouuuunnnd!!" And then the kids would cheer and scream and jump up and down, and we'd play another round. And then there were prizes.
I loved the prizes.
So anyway, I really, honestly DID intend to go 30 days and post every single day, even though I didn't start on the 1st. But I also figured it would be a sort of "practice round" to get me geared up for giving it a REAL gung-ho effort in December, so that I could start it out right and maybe win some super great NaBloPoMo prize. Do they even give prizes? I don't know if I really looked into that.
And thus...I am gonna keep posting daily as if I didn't totally fail and skip Day 20. But I'm not gonna keep counting, since I don't know whether I should call today Day 21, or Day 20...and since I really did miss a day. And then, come next Monday, December 1st...it is SO on! The counting will commence again from Day 1, and it will be grand. Get ready for some supreme posting action. I mean, it's December. It's the month of Christmas. AND it's the time when we all start reflecting and reminiscing and gearing up for a new year. I've got a LOT to write about. And you won't wanna miss it.
Or maybe you will. But that ain't gonna stop me from writing.
