Dither, dither, dither

So here it is, November 1. OmegaDotter’s friend, A., has been spirited back to his house after spending the night here. The dotter and A. garnered plenty o’ loot last night, since I ferried them off to the neighborhood behind OmegaDad’s office, which has lots of houses fairly close together. Our neighborhood is filled with one-acre lots, so it’s a pretty lousy spot for trick-or-treating…we had all of three T-or-Ters this year, which tromps all over our previous two years here, when we got big fat goose eggs. None. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Not…a…one.
To think I used to complain about the slim pickings back in Hippy Dippy Enclave in the Woods!
Oh, well. As I was saying, it’s November 1. We turned the clocks back last night, and now the sun is rising at 8:30 a.m., instead of 9:30, and setting at 4:58 p.m. instead of 5:58. The midday light here looks just like the end of a fine, long summer’s day, the shadows of the trees and houses stretching out across the neighbors’ lots.
The Time of Darkness rapidly approaches.
And, since it’s November 1, that means it’s time for NaBlaPoMo–the blogging world’s response to NaNoWriMo, wherein the blogger commits to writing a post every day for the month of November. (Those who sign up for NaNoWriMo, like PAgent, are committing to write a novel over the course of November.) I have done it for the past few years, never quite succeeding.
I’ve been a pretty piss-poor blogger lately, posting very irregularly rather than my previous almost-daily routine. What can I say? Mainly, it’s been because I haven’t felt like writing much.
So enters the dithering. Shall I try NaBloPoMo? Or sit this one out?
I think I’m going to try it.
