Your eyes pop open. You’re shivering, your hair is matted, and you’re covered in sweat. Shaking your head and sore limbs out vigorously, you soon become more and more conscious.
Instead of reflecting on what made your sleeping self so scared, your first waking thoughts are, “CRAP! I haven’t written a blog post for NaBloPoMo yet! I don’t know what to blog about! And I haven’t left enough comments on other people’s blogs for IComLeavWe or Comment for a Comment!”
Yes, all thoughts were made with exclamations on the end. And because you’re not fully awake yet, you’re thinking in Thai. Thai is the language you use when you’re sad, pissed off, or too out of it to realise.
You check the time. It’s 4AM, and already, you’re obsessing about blog-related activities.
The same time last month, you couldn’t give a flying fuck as to what happened to your blog.
Your priorities are screwed.
Tomorrow, you’ll be having hallucinations (for you haven’t had a proper dream since you were a toddler) of an event from someone’s blog post or a chapter from someone’s NaNoWriMo novel.
But at least this blog post is done. You shall now try to get your lack of skills in commenting on others’ blogs out of your subconscious for the few hours you have left until the morning.
Wow, until you hit the part about thinking in Thai I thought you were talking about my morning. Just think, you’ve already made it through the first day of IComLeavWe, which means only 36 more comments to leave. And NaBloPoMo is almost over. Great job!

“Crap, I havent written a NaBloPoMo post yet.” has been running through my head for like 3hrs now… lol but still… I have absolutely nothing to say.

I can so relate to this. It’s scary. Three months ago I didn’t even have a blog, and now the first thing I think of in the morning is “I have to get a post up today!” I have no clue what I was thinking when I joined NaBloPoMo. I obviously just don’t have enough to say!
Hehe, this is so true. I have the same thing, constantly wondering what on earth I should write each day and I don’t rest until I have a post up for that day. Then tomorrow its the same thing all over again. *sigh* The things we put ourselves through. Anyways, were almost there with NaBlo hang in there.

A few of things:
1) I love that you said “fuck”
2) You should have titled this BloAnCon
3) Your comment on my post about IComLeavWe made me understand why everyone’s in such a freakin’ frenzy this month
4) We should all have a Red Wine & Blog Night every month to decompress after all this pressure

I do not know WHY I signed up for comment for a comment. Hello, Stacie, it’s NOVEMBER. School is CRAZY in November. You don’t have time to comment.
As if I need any more guilt. I’m Catholic, after all.

At least you aren’t doing NaNoWriMo as well…

I have these panic attacks all the time. It is actually one of the reasons I had to NOT do IComLeavWe this month. I like belonging to these groups, but I hate the days when I dont feel like I have anything to say.

I have BEEN THERE… except for the whole thinking in Thai thing.
