So I went searching into the wonderful world of Blogger today to try to find a new obsession. My favorite show, Big Rich Texas has recently ended its current season and I need something to keep my eye on. I thought Why not a blog? Well, I went to my own blog and clicked on the Next Blog>> button to try to find one with a good writing style, humor and a cutting-edge topic.
Unfortunately, the blogs I looked at won't get any more page views from me. There were two types: Ministry (yawn) or Family (eye-roll). While there are people out there looking to further their walk with Jesus, I find it unnecessary to have 49-50% of blogs be dedicated to it. But that's just me - The methods of ministry are entirely their choice and we have freedom of religion. As for the many blogs about families, I just don't find it entertaining to read about how adorable someone's kids are. I bet you think your kids are the greatest thing in the planet - but so does every other proud parent on the planet. It must be a mother thing that I, obviously, don't understand.
The only thing I saw that I have in common with some of those Bloggers are that we all want more page views. I know I do! But how do we get the word out about our blog? I write about the people in my life and I write some pretty personal things - I don't want the town or my family knowing what I write about - but I still want other people to see it.
All well, I'll do some research. And those of you experienced Bloggers: Feel free to send some knowledge my way! I love getting personal messages. In the mean time, I'll keep looking for my new obsession. It could be one of you...

Camp NaNoWriMo
One of my first entries in here was about NaNoWriMo. If that sounds really awkward to you, check out the other entry to clear things up and then report back here.
All clear? Okay, well the Wonderful People of NaNoWriMo started something new this year. Rather than just one month out of the year to write as much as possible *cough, cough - fifty thousand words -cough, cough* they have opened up to June and August as well! EXCITEMENT! Last time, I failed miserably and I couldn't even reach the sorry amount of twenty-five thousand words required for my Writing Workshop class at school. My ending word count?
Sad Face: 16, 527 (or something like that)
If I had a wine glass, I'd throw it in the air and toast to two more tries at reaching 50,000
Let's be honest here, it's summer. I just got a job as a K-Wench at K-Mart, I'm no longer single, and there's no drama to feed my creative writing appetite. How the heck am I going to do this? Well, let's hope June and August are very dramatic months for my Ko-Workers. Just call me MissConfidant!
But seriously, readers, this AdventureWoman isn't so sure she can do it. Wanna leave me some luck in my inbox? Maybe a four-leaf clover I can download? I'll sure need it. Hmmm...maybe I should super-glue a horseshoe on the lid of my laptop. Or maybe I'll get lucky and my classmates are correct about the 'Zombie-Apocolypse' taking the US by storm, originating in Miami. My, my, I'll miss my classmates and their overactive imaginations.
If you enjoy writing, you should check out the site ---> campnanowrimo.org. I love it (when I'm not failing miserably with it) and I bet I'll love it more if I actually complete my challenge. For those of you that give it a whirl, check out my NaNoWriMo entry from November for a little bit of 'What-Not-To-Do' gold and I wish you all the luck my German background can offer.
Oh -- And don't get your face eaten off by nude, Bath-Salt-Ridden Zombies
