1. Although I was extra busy during the month of November, in retrospect, I can see that my entries were getting a lil more serious and a lil less silly... and that's not good. When I started this blog back in July, my intention was to give everybody and their moose a really REALLY SILLY commentary on NHL hockey. Either hockey itself has been a lot less silly this past month, or the muse has left me. I think it might be the latter... :(
2. I have less time now than I did when I started this. It's true. Aside from my attempt to begin a novel during National Novel Writing Month (you can Google that, btw), I've become busier with work and family stuff, both of which are going to take up a lot of my time over the next few months, which won't make life any easier for me. I was trying to make this blog one of my top priorities, but it's fallen farther down the food chain of my life, unfortunately.
3. I miss just being a hockey fan. There's a LOT of people out there with really REALLY GOOD hockey blogs, some of which I don't even have links to yet, and the more I've busied myself with creating this blog, the less time I've had for reading other people's blogs, and that's a real shame!!! I usually spend between 2-4 hours a day working on this blog. I know that's hard to believe, but there's a lot of work involved in keeping up with the hockey world, deciding on subject matter or coming up with a silly idea, and then following through with the writing (and photoshopping, if any), and whatever else it is that I do here. Plus, I'm a perfectionist, which means I put a great deal of pressure on myself. :P
Was that enough reasons???
Writing is one of my passions. I made it just past the 30,000 word mark, so I didn't hit NaNoWriMo's 50,000 word goal, but I've got a really REALLY good start on my novel, so I plan to continue on and finish it. As a result, my writing muse seems to have left the blogosphere and moved to novel land. Now, considering I don't live on the Kuiper belt object, (formerly known as the planet Pluto), where the days are 153 hours long, I can't do everything - no matter how hard I try. So rather than add more stress to my life in trying to juggle too many irons in the fire, I'm going to call it a day here.
It's been really REALLY fun entertaining you these past five months!!! Please check out some of the links from yesterday's entry if you need a good laugh. It's some of my best silly stuff, guaranteed! ;)
With love to everybody and their moose... :D
