How to Fail at NaBloPoMo Without Really Trying

It is a quarter past ten and I'm posting now! No brilliance for the first day, that's for sure.
So why am I doing this?
I started this blog a couple years ago.
Posted twice.
Deleted them as too whiny.
Posted again this summer.
Less whiny.
But the habit didn't stick.
So this month is for me to answer the question of whether I need / want/ can actually handle a blog of my own, or whether I should just throw it out like a dead houseplant that's been sitting on the radiator since last January (metaphorical dead houseplant -- we have no houseplants).
We'll see.
Tomorrow, why I haven't taken up knitting.
