On this side of the world, as I type this, there are another 19 days before November takes its place in our lives. November, the month when writers from all over the world go a little, shall we say, (creative) crazy?
For many years now, November has played host to the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). However, not all of us writers have “publish a book” in our wish list. Some of us are more of the blogging variety and being just as passionate about writing, there bloomed this idea of bloggers taking part in this crazy shenanigans. And so it began…the National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo).
Now, let me rewind to a few years back and tell you a story.
Once upon a time, in the land of WordPress blogs, there was this amazingly awesome, lively and beautiful dinosaur named Rara. She had a way with words that filled your heart and she had a heart full of love for not only words, but for people too!
Some moons ago, quite a few to be exact,
On a whim or maybe not,
Rara’s thought bubble popped a thought,
Let’s gather the troop of dinosaur lovers
(Of the Rara kind)
Let’s band together and sing a merry song!
(I don’t really think they did, but let’s just go along with it shall we?)
A song of the love for words,
A song of the love of blogs,
A song of the love of being wonky,
Let’s blog a post
Every
Day
Of
The
Month!
Let’s call it
NanoPoblano
Because we love peppers,
and peppers are cute,
yet spicy..
(I think that was the reason, I’m not really quite sure)
So, off they went a merry band of NanoPoblano-ers
To get more slightly crazy people
Join in the madness of November!
…
Anyhoos, what I have been trying to do in my rambly sort of way is to let you ALL know – yes, each and every one of you beautiful, courageous, mad, creative, bloggy peoples out there, that it’s going to start.
