Time is a weird construct. Don’t you agree. 30 days posting sounds like a lot. 30 ideas. 30 times finding time to sit down and write something. 30 times to find a picture to go along with your words. And then those 30 days are over. Pouf. Gone. In an instant. No time to post all the things piling up in in the draft file. No time to say everything, show everything. No time to read all the posts. And just like that I am celebrating another successful NaBloPoMo with my fellow bog friends.
Going into November I had no idea how to juggle the full schedule ahead of me. The additional posting to the blog. I definitely underestimated the amount of blog reading coming my way. I am still working on reading all the posts and I am sure it will take me a bit more time. But I will do so. Promise.
And for everyone – and mainly myself – here are the posts that I published in November:

I very much enjoyed the wonderful wonderful small community. Thank you San for bringing us together. I hope I will read from you in the months to come. I hope you stick around a little longer and read along here too.
Thank you very one.
Now last question how much will you post in December? And what will you do with all the freed up time now?
Happy celebrating my friends, we’ve done it

Congratulations, Tobia!
It is wild how daunting it seemed at the beginning, but now it’s OVER!
I plan on posting a lot in December but have no idea what the frequency will be. I think I have posts already planned out for the rest of this week at least.

Looks like you keep your momentum. Congrats. I still have so many of your posts to read so hopefully I can catch up soon
I’m doing a blog project with my friend where we post every day, so I’m going to post every day in December, too! I imagine the number of entries in my feed reader will decline dramatically, though, so I’m hoping I don’t spend quite as much time reading blogs and commenting. I will miss NaBloPoMo, though. I not-so-secretly love having an abundance of entries to read through every morning.

I love your project with your friend so it will be fun to follow along there. I still have a few posts to catch up on your blog.
I admit I am looking forward to a lower number of unread blog posts in my reader. That was a lot since I didn’t want to skim and honestly interact.
I have never mastered the blog reader thing. I just click on my blogroll and see what’s going on. Not very efficient, is it?
Congrats on finishing! It has been a lot of fun to see what everyone is writing about, and to get to know people a little bit.
Thank you. And thank you for stopping by. I have a few more posts to read on your blog and am looking forward to.
The reader thing is a bit of a struggle to set up but that it does help to stay organized. However blog tools are a fun thing too. That reminds me – I should probably update mine.
I really just started blogging this last month (not counting the handful of posts over several years before that). It was so fun but also a lot of work. I want to continue and I hope to at least blog 1-2/week. We will see. I am also happy to say that I now have a new list of blogs to follow I enjoy reading ;)

That is the best thing in blogging – having like minded people doing it with you.
I really didn’t know you were just doing it for a month. Major achievement starting with this challenge. This is what the y call “All in” right?
Yay- we did it! Yes, it really did take a lot of time. I took break for a couple days (because I was tired of looking at my computer so much!) but now I’ll be back to my regular schedule of 3x a week. I agree- so many good blogs to follow now.
To answer your second question, I will read more books this month! I spent so much time reading blogs in November, I hardly read any books and I missed it.
Yes, books fell to the way side in November so I really am preferring a book right now too.
So happy we made it and learned new things about each other.
Congratulations on finishing, Tobia! Doesn’t it feel so good to accomplish such a daunting task? WE DID IT!

We did it indeed. such a great feeling. congrats to you too.
I’m so glad I finally started reading your blog thanks to NaBloPoMo! I kept seeing your comments on San’s blog but every time I navigated here, I was intimidated by the name “crafaliciousme”. I’m… not crafty. But! you write about so much more than just crafts. I’m glad I finally took the time to read and understand that. And of course I’ll still be reading – you’re in my “Favorites” folder now!
Oh thank you so much Anne. What a lovely comment. I know my blog name is not quite accurate anymore but it would be such a huge task to change it that I keep putting it off. I guess I should be clearer about that it is not all about crafts when you come across this sight.
I have already saved your blog to my favorites to read as well and I am excited to get to know more about your thoughts. For that I love the NaBloPo challenge so much.
