@Amanda - You are so right. I think that the more we write, the more we write at a higher quality initially. (Although there are always those little stupid typos!)

I think that the bonus of NaBloPoMo is that it starts up the habit of writing daily. I’m hoping that for me the quality will come in time!

@Daniel – Ha ha, I guess you’re right! I totally understand about not commenting every day. There are lots of times when I mean to comment, and then forget or go back to comment and can’t remember what I was going to say. And maybe I can do something about my site not loading very fast, but I’m not sure about that…

You are 100% correct about the smoking post. I am certain I never would have even written that post if it weren’t for NaBloPoMo. I’m glad it made me appear more human in your eyes… *evil laugh* My plan is going nicely…

@Dad - Thanks! And you are right: "We always have the time and money to do the things we really want to do."

@ww - Thanks! I'm with you on quality over quantity. I have to admit, I didn't have time to focus on quality as much as I like to during NaBloPoMo, but I tried to catch typos when the posts came across my feed reader. I think they turned out pretty good, though. :)

[...] just pledged to turn these into themed links, and I have to admit, I was a little stressed about picking a theme [...]

Congratulations on doing 30 posts in 30 days!! Now you’re a running AND blogging marathoner! I read every one of your posts. I very much enjoyed getting one everyday, it helped make me feel more connected to you. The main reason I don’t comment everyday is because it’s difficult to do on my phone, which is what I read them on (in my email) if it loaded faster, I would comment more :) I would be happy with 4 a week since everyday seems stressful for you. I don’t want it to be a chore for you.

Also I don’t think you would have been so quick to post about the smoking thing if you weren’t forced to write everyday. That post suprised me greatly and reminded me that my incredible sister is still just a mortal. :) that sounds mean when I read it, but that’s really not how I meant it. :s

#5 above is what I’ve seen for a long time. We make time for what’s important to us. For everything else, we make excuses. Congrats on reaching this goal, Linden!
