Sideshow & Syrana

Some of you may have noticed there wasn’t an RP segment posted for today.  My brain needed a rest and Monday evening was spent veggin’ out in front of the television catching up on some CSI episodes.

I don’t know about all of you, but for me, November got here too fast… and it (as well as December) are going to fly by quickly.  As the holidays get closer, there is a ton of family gatherings, shopping, snow, decorating, etc. to be done.  It also tends to be a very busy time for my job because this time of year is also relapse season and my clients tend to have more crisis situations arise.

For many, November is a month of productivity, especially for writing.

NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)

NaBloPoMo (National Blog Post Month)

I wanted to bring your attention to these for a couple reasons.  Although most participants start planning to participate prior to November, it is still early in the month and still time to join in.  If you are interested in either of these, I would encourage you to participate or at least check it out (especially if you aren’t familiar with either one) and maybe make a plan for next year.

Personally, I am not participating in them this year.  I’m curious why/how November got slated for these (and a variety of other daily posting activities such as videos and podcasts) as opposed to any other month.  But that is neither here nor there.  I’d love to participate in NaNo, but know I wouldn’t be able to fit that in this month… even if I ignored the blog for a month.

I considered participating in NaBlo, but then figured since I usually have daily posts that it’d be kinda like cheating.  Anywho, no matter how you decide to go about writing – whether you participate in these or not – the important thing is to keep writing!
