Writing about doing NoJoMo again, more.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve written every day in November starting in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a thing that was going around on OD before it went MIA for awhile. The first time I did it, I’d just married my wife the month before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, she’s still my wife, despite my unintentional attempts to make her leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week after my final entry during that month of writing, my dad died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On OD, there were normally prompts provided. I used those sometimes, and free-wrote other time. If you look at some of the archives, I think I have most of what I’ve written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s so many things that have happened over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve tried to stay writing. My psychologist says that it’s a compulsion. She’s probably right about that. I’d developed a lot of “ruminations” to address what’s been going on with my psychically since I first started having MS symptoms. Writing isn’t one fo them, specifically, but it’s something I can do without needing to see what I’m doing, necessarily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really, though, for the November writing, it provides me an opportunity to reflect on what’s happened, and prepare for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, of course, portends to be incredibly strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there’ll still be Lions and Cowboys football on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’ll still write; it’s what I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past summer, in another of my writing fits, I was taking a quick glance at the news, then writing my reaction to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m probably going to do that some more this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things could be absolutely fucking nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aussies are warning their citizens about traveling here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With heroes like Herr Fritzl, maybe that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(If that meme doesn’t get you, this<\/a> might…..)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been trying to stay a bit optimistic about what’s going to happen, but I am worried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a prompt for later about a book that’s had a great effect on my life. Since I’d been too lazy to figure out how to cancel my Audible subscription, I’ve been listening to it again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope I’ll be able to finish before I’m supposed to write about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here we go. Another year, more writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
