There have been times in my life when I have started something, become discouraged, distracted, or I realized it just wasn't for me.. and I quit. There have been other times in my life where I have been willing, determined, and able to see something through to the end...and I have.
I wasn't sure what would happen with NaBloPoMo. I knew when I signed up to participate and posted it on my blog, that if I decided to quit people would know about it (not necessarily care one way or the other, but they would know that I was a quitter). I 'encouraged' my sister, Joan to sign up too, figuring (correctly as it turned out) that if I started to become overwhelmed with the committment, or discouraged with my own lack of creativity, I would be able to turn to her for support and ideas.
It turned out that there were days when my mind just drew a blank. On those days I would call my sister, and she was there for me, offering encouragement, and sometimes an idea or two, to get me through the block in my brain.
I don't know how much I've helped Joan, but I want Joan to know that I really appreciate having her for a sister. So thanks Joan...together we survived NaBloPoMo...or is that Nipomoblomo?

Geez...that's sweet so thanks back at you! I'd have thanked you in my post only I'm so sleep deprived at the moment I can't think straight. Sigh...
You guys are sisters??? cool!
so nice you are able to be such support for each other.
I think I like your NaBloPoopedMo better than Joan's I Did It thingy.
Congrats to you both. I know how tough it can be coming up with something I consider blogworthy. so for you to do it for 30 days straight is a real acomplishment.
Congrats! Now you can take a break.
Lynn, congrats on maintaining the blogging flow in NaBloPoMo! Happy to have your nice prose on my blogroll...
Sisters are an excellent source of encouragement when you're an adult, as a kid I think the proper phrase for it is peer pressure. Congratulations on maintaining the momentum!
