It’s October and should be the start of another NaJoPoMo Challenge but sadly I’m here to let you know we will not be holding a challenge this year. Life is…lifing for many of us and after much consideration, I've decided to take a break this year.
What Does That Mean?
I know many of you look forward to this annual tradition, and this wasn't an easy decision to make. I don’t have capacity to host the National Journal Post Month challenge this year because I’m publishing the first 2 books in my debut Dark Fantasy series. And the many, many tasks it takes to publish is consuming. Who knew the writing was the easy part?!
Although there is no official host for the NaJoPoMo challenge this October, that doesn’t mean you still can’t journal to your heart’s content. I journal all year long and will still be with you in spirit.
Keep Journaling!
The community will remain open, and you're always welcome to share your journaling journey and encourage each other just as we always do. Just because I’m taking a break from the formal challenge doesn't mean you should stop journaling! The spirit of NaJoPoMo lives on in each of you. Yes, that was cheesy but that's how much I love this community!
Thank You
To everyone who has participated over the years from the newbies trying journaling for the first time to the hardcore journaler. Your posts, creativity, vulnerability, and dedication have made this community something special.
It’s NOT Goodbye
I'm not saying goodbye forever, just see you next year. Until then, keep those pens moving (or keyboards clicking, or pencils sketching, or whatever journaling style speaks to you).
Good luck to everyone who will continue on this year. I look forward to your posts!
