Hey loggers! How goes it? I am three-quarters of the way through this damn Logtober and thought I would share my progress.
Whilst it has been great fun, I must admit, it has been hard at times.
When I first heard about Logtober, I was dubious. I mean, firing out a log every single day for a whole month?
It didn't seem feasible. I knew there were some big players in the game that could literally throw out three or four a day with ease. But I was and always had been a kinda one a day guy.
But say one thing about this salty old Boom-Dawg. He likes a challenge.
So, I went for it.
The first four or five days were easy.
The logs were literally spilling out of me.
It seemed that all I had to do was sit down and as if by magic a log would appear.
It was maybe halfway through the second week I ran into a blockage as it were.
The day started off well enough. I pottered about the house doing family-shit whilst mulling over my next log. It wasn't until I got to the later afternoon without one, that I began to worry.
No sign of a log. In fact, not even an inkling. Normally I would have my log done and be thinking of the next one, maybe the next two or three.
Not this day.
Nothing was coming.
The Good Lady noticed by tea-time that I was looking rather glum.
Hey, Shit-Hound... What's up?
She asked with her usual vim.
Can't get a log out. Not even a hint of one today. It's getting to me. I have to do one a day for this bloody Logtober nonsense.
Could you miss a day and squeeze out two tomorrow, perhaps?
She asked as if I was some kind of amateur in this arena and not the man they used to call Beef-Jack.
I shook my head sadly. What is a man if he is nothing?
This and many other deep thoughts swirled in my intellectual crevices.
Much later, I headed off to my bed. The clock showing two minutes to midnight.
The hands that threaten doom.
I thought pensively.
Just then there was a burbling in the woods.
Hurrah!! It came and just in time. my track record for Logtober was safe.
So, I won't lie to you. The logging challenge has not been as easy as I thought it might be. There have been some days I haven't felt like sitting down and creating one at all.
But, I'm a trooper and I have pushed through, producing one every single day.
I only had to near-finger myself once. A fact of which I am quite proud.
It's never too late to join in the challenge. Logtober is open to all so why not join in and squeeze a log out every day for the rest of Logtober! It's fun!
