NaBloPoMo: Day 10

Don't forget to enter my Rebel: T/L/C's giveaway!
-------------------
As someone who is notorious for not following through with things, I am pleased with actually, thus far, posting everyday of this month as indicated by the National Blog Posting Month's guidelines.

And, now I share with you what I have learned during the past 10 days:

1.  I have an endless supply of things to blog about.  This is not news to me but it is interesting that I am still hoarding blog post ideas rather than actually writing about them.  I keep thinking I'm going to need to fall back on one of the many posts that have floated in my brain for months but it turns out I have something new to blog about everyday.  Maybe by the end of the month my hoarded posts will be written...or not.  I'm curious to see.

2.  I need a new laptop.

3.  I don't like blogging everyday.  I have yet to actually sit down and write a thoughtful post this month because it takes me a few days of processing to get ready to write, reread and edit and finally post my finished process.  Of course, some posts, ahem...vbac, need a little more thought than I give them but for the most part, a post of length has been pondered upon plenty during the day when I am tired of cleaning up after children and need to internally zone out.

4.  I understand why people take a blogging challenge such as this before writing a book to aid in disciplined scheduled writing.  Blogging during the day is absolutely 100% impossible at this point in my life and I am foolish even to crack my laptop open during waking hours because my children consider that an open invitation for chaos to reign.  If I were to write a book, I would be very busy at night after my children go to bed.  When my brain is fried.  I now know this for certain after the past 10 days.  Not good for my future career as a famous author.

5.  I really like colons.  As in the punctuation mark not the body part.

Anybody else doing NaBloPoMo?

^ Oh, yes; or answer the phone...

Did I use the colon correctly? ;)
