And that’s a wrap! Thank you to San and other amazing souls who helped me make it through #NaBloPoMo2023. See full list of participants here!
- Planning. I was mostly flying by the seat of my pants, producing posts whenever, wherever, and about whatever. I wrote about fall leaves, and retirement savings, and illnesses, and coffee, and Snickers, and my son, and Russia, and plays, and a whole lotta… everything. Next time perhaps I take a more organized and mindful approach. I really loved what J from Thinking About did: she used the alphabet to inspire posts.
- Writing. I felt pressure to produce a post every day. I did not want to “break the chain” and there many days when I published posts that were short, or that were pictures, a photo “essay” type of posts or lists. I did not break the chain, so I give myself an A in this category.
- Reading. I give myself a B in this area. I read the majority of other bloggers’ posts. So many interesting people out there, from all walks of lives! It really was inspiring to see how other people live, what they care about and what makes them tick.
- Commenting. Hooo boy. Giving myself a D. I could not get to leave a meaningful comment on everyone’s blog. I know that is never the expectation but I really feel I could have done better.
- Feeling. Tired but also accomplished. I look forward to taking a little breather and scaling down my writing to twice-once a week. This was fun but it was A LOT.
How did it go for you? How did you feel? Any lessons learned?
