I did it! Woo hoo!

I did it! I wrote every day on my blog for the entire month of October!

Some of you astute readers might have noticed that my blog looks like I skipped one of the days and then posted twice on it the next day. That is not, in fact, true.

I wrote my post about my little chat with Oprah very late one night and just as I was finishing it, Ellie tapped me on the shoulder, having woken up in the middle of the night. I very quickly hit "Post" and went to deal with her. I came back the next morning only to find that my post had not posted and there was an error message. So even though I can't prove it, I really did write on my blog every single day/night of NaBloWriMo. This gives me hope for NaNoWriMo, even though for this next month I have to quintuple my average daily word count.

I hope I continue to blog regularly even though I don't have a mandatory post every day.  FYI for the folks who suggested it, for NaNoWriMo, I am not going to write a novel about my dad. He is a great source of material, but I think he works better for essays or short stories than a novel. He is best in small doses. I also have this weird recent phenomenon of not remembering my childhood very well. It's freaking me out a little bit. I hope I wasn't sold into slavery as a kid because I really don't remember.
