You may have noticed the new look around here. About time! Spring, and its irises, were over months ago. You may also notice Yoda over to the right. He is my reminder to post every day in the month of November. Mrs. Kennedy came up with National Blog Posting Month, and I'm taking on the challenge.
There was a time when I posted more regularly. I like to think that I was also funnier and more interesting and a better writer back then. Maybe I'm just fooling myself, but I hope to bring back those glory days. And maybe find my writing voice once again, as I feel like it got lost somewhere along the way. Am I Mommy blogger? Am I New Orleans blogger? Am I blogging for me? Am I blogging for you? Am I blogging for the me of the future? I guess the answer to all of those questions is yes, but sometimes I feel like the answer can be only one, and I'm so focused on fitting into that category that nothing comes out of my fingers.
And for those of you not interested in joining the challenge as a blogger, please note that you can still support NaBloPoMo by commenting. Thanks!

I was just thinking today that Mr. Man is almost a year old. Wow!
Posted by: Hannah at October 29, 2006 12:59 AMI like the new looks & I think you are funny & witty. It is hard to find the inner voice, but in some way everything you post is about you.
Posted by: Freckle Face Girl at October 29, 2006 07:41 AMwow shok, i feel the exact same way. but these days, i think i'm not interesting enough to be able to post everyday for the month of november. we'll see - you've inspired me.
Posted by: meisa at October 29, 2006 11:52 AMFor me it's all of the above. Well, I'm not a New Orleans blogger, but a Twin Citean blogger instead. But what a bad influence you and fussy are! I was thinking of taking another crack at National Novel Writing Month...but it seems far more likely that I could and would post to my blog daily (than to spew out 2000 words of fiction daily). Hmmmm.
Posted by: Sharyn at October 30, 2006 09:17 PMOH man Shokufeh! 1- I love the new look. 2- Wherever did you find Yoda - that's awesome. 3- I relate to the voice finding quest - and quite honestly you inspire me. I hope I can bring more and more life back to aberator dot com - but alas who we are is so moment to moment sometimes. Keep those fingers hot!
Posted by: Abby at October 31, 2006 07:06 PMI think we all think about what we want to be as a blog writer (I've struggled with that too) but being ourselves has attracted folks to our blogs ;) so I encourage you to be yourself!
