So I’ve signed up for National Blog Posting Month and National Novel Writing Month again this year.

This will be my fifth year of NaBloPoMo, and I think it’s the third of fourth time I’ve attempting NaNoWriMo. I’m relatively confident that I’ll complete NaBloPoMo, and I’m equally as confident that I will not complete NaNoWriMo. The question is just how many days I’ll make it before I throw in the towel.

Anyway, just so you’ll have an idea of the sort of gems that await you this month, here’s a look at some of my favorite NaBloPoMo posts from years past:

An Interview with My Dad (2011)

On his first job: “I was supposed to empty a drip pan under the walk-in freezer every day, which must have been a pretty important thing. Because I always forgot to do it, and I only had the job for about a month before I was fired. Or maybe I was fired for helping myself to gas or a six-pack on the weekends.”

Elementary Civics (2011)

Poppy on the president: ” ‘He wears fancy ties,’ she said, ‘and he speaks very proudly.’ ”

An Interview with My Kid Brother (2011)

On his favorite film: “Re: Teen Wolf. We did not have a large collection of VHS tapes. This was one of them. I watched it a lot. And Michael J. Fox turns into a werewolf, and then his dad does too. And then they surf on a van and play basketball.”

The Suggestions of a More Exciting Life (2010)

This note reference here is still on my wall.

A Rootin’ Tootin’ Interview (2009)

It was when I internet-met Rootie Toot!

So Hooray for November! Let’s hope I don’t resort to live-tweeting breakfast by the end of the month.
