NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month)

So the other day I signed up for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), an online event that takes place every November, wherein writers dedicate the entire month of November to writing 50,000 words of their novel. I’ve taken part in NaNo a few times in years past, and thought it would be a good opportunity to finish a fan-fiction story I’d started some time ago (not the Bad Batch fanfic I just posted to AO3) but haven’t gotten around to finishing yet.

Well, soon after I decided I wasn’t into it and wouldn’t commit myself to that. But I had another thought not long after. When I had my old writing blog, I participated in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), which is a blogging equivalent to NaNo. You can write about anything you want, and it can be any length, but you must post every single day in November. There’s no official website for it anymore, but there’s no reason why you can’t do it anyway.

I just happened to buy the Star Wars Chat Pack (created by Kelly Knox, about $25 on Amazon), which is a bunch of cards in a box that has questions about Star Wars covering Characters, Technology, the Force, and the Galaxy. It’s meant to facilitate fun discussions among Star Wars fans, but you can ponder them alone, as well. I thought I’d do a weekly post answering one of the questions for something different.

Then I had the idea of doing a post every day on a different question for NaBloPoMo, randomly picking a card everyday and no matter what it is (no swapsies), write my thoughts on it. So that’s the new plan for November. If you get sick of seeing my posts in your inbox everyday, please ignore, lol. It’s more for me than anything else, to see if I can commit myself to posting everyday, and also just to see what I think about certain things in Star Wars. If you feel compelled to write your own answers in the comments, please do!

So starting tomorrow you’ll see my illuminating thoughts on fun, interesting questions about Star Wars. Can’t wait to start!
