Logtober

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!
