November was National Blog Posting Month — NaBloPoMo for short — and it ended a couple of days ago. So, how did I do?
All told, I wrote 38 entries throughout the month. If we were going by averages, that’s just over 1.25 entries per day (38 entries ÷ 30 days = 1.26666… entries/day); but we’re not. The goal was to write just one entry every day and in the last month I missed 8 days. Most of them were Wednesdays (the 7th, 14th and 21st); missed Saturdays came in second (the 10th and 24th); and Sunday, Tuesday and Friday tied for third with one missed day apiece (the 25th, 20th and 30th, respectively). One of those Wednesdays (the 14th) wouldn’t have been missed if I hadn’t neglected to save an entry in advance for it.
Chalk it up to several factors: unusually busy days at the main job; days floating around the Gulf of Mexico without a reliable net connection; plain laziness, and so forth.
