It Is All Rarasaur’s Fault!

Rarasaur it’s on and it’s all your fault!

You have inspired me to participate in National Blog Posting Month aka NaBloPoMo. I wanted to play last year, but it wasn’t in the cards for me at the time due to an odd set of circumstance.

This time however, I am embedded, inspired and ready to roll. In fact, I am mapping out my blog plan I as write and trust me, there is a plan.

So, why am I feeling so inspired by you Rara

When I discovered your outstanding blog nearly two years ago (I can’t believe it’s been that long), I found your writing to be engaging, exact and encouraging of other bloggers.

What’s more, is the energy you emit in every post is contagious. Who wouldn’t want to write more after reading Rarasaur?.

OK, I’m done sucking up (you know I love ya)..

All that being said, I have realized that I can post more often if I use the blogging tools that are available to all of us.

Like most people, the flow of my days and weeks can vary, especially being a full-time freelancer. Before Rara came into my life, money-making writing gigs always trumped “posting” to my own blog. Why? Well, I have bills to pay and clients to manage like everyone else, but now I know I can take the days where I have extra time and create a post or two and schedule them for different days, days that I know I won’t have time to post on.

So, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it…just like I am going to stick to my commitment with NaBloPoMo.

Thank you!

Thank you Rarasaur for being such a delightful cheerleader to everyone.

      Yay beth Ann! Congrats for taking the step! I plan on doing my best to not only complete this challenge brilliantly (in my own silly mind), but also to help encourage and support other participants like you. I am not familiar with your blog or what genre of writing you typically write (I am getting ready to go check it out in a moment), but if it is any consolation, I write non-fiction mostly and rarely write fluff and filler so this is a HUGE challenge to me that will require A LOT of time and effort and it has led me to create a NEW series on my blog…I will announce it in tomorrow’s post if not by the end of today. Stay tuned and let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Go Team Go!!!!

    Isn’t it funny how Rara posts lead to magical adventures? That’s how I decided to do NaBloPoMo as well.
