Post a day in August

In an effort to do more writing I’ve decided to do my own mini NaBloPoMo in August. For those not familiar, NaBloPoMo is “National Blog Posting Month,” and takes place in November not August. It’s lightly modeled after NaNoWriMo (National Write a Novel Month), which also takes place in November. The basic premise of NaBloPoMo is to post one blog entry every day in the month of November, without skipping any days. Well, I decided not to wait until November, especially since I may want to do NaNoWriMo again this year. (I have yet to make it past two weeks.)

In order to try and build some discipline leading up to August, I figured I’d try and get an early start, and start doing some posts early, to get into a routine over the next few weeks. I’ll be doing all of the posts to the MIMP blog, but will be reposting some of the more technical postings to my Malignant Genius blog.

[In hind sight I’m not sure how wise it was to fire up a second blog, but at least this way I can be a bit more freeform in my posts, and not worry about them being business related.]

My mechanic gives great back rubs…

And it’s a good thing too, because I spend a lot of time at the shop. Seems like there’s always something wrong with my car. Whenever my car starts making noise or leaking oil I get so stressed out, and by the time I leave the shop I feel so much more relaxed. I go to my mechanic at least twice a week, and it just melts away my stress.

Are you focused on the right thing, or are you visiting your mechanic to relieve your stress?
