Dear NaBloPoMo

Dear NaBloPoMo,

You were fun while you lasted, but alas it is time we part ways.

You see, you have unfortunately become a daily burden that no longer brings me pleasure. Instead of writing with meaning I am writing out of obligation which leaves me stale, and that's just no fun for anyone - not for me nor for my readers.

I may continue posting daily or I may not. I am giving myself permission to bow out if I am not feeling it. It is not easy for a perfectionist like me to stop a commitment to a project such as yours halfway through, oh no not easy at all. But it feels right and this I must follow.

Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone not only in writing, but in listening to that tiny voice that lets me know when things aren't working for me. For that I am grateful.

Your timing may have been off for 2009, but rest assured that you will remain in my good thoughts and consideration for years to come.

Sincerely,

Steph

    good for you for listening to your inner voice. i can't believe i'm actually still enjoying this. i thought i'd be hating it by now, but i'm still okay. gonna keep on keeping on, at least for a few more days. might lose steam when the holidays are upon me. . . .

    Ahhh, I can sympathize with you - that's how I am feeling about school right now. Luckily, Thanksgiving break came in the nick of time!
