Guys.
Guys.
Guys.
I am SO. SO. SO. sorry.
I totally failed at NaBloPoMo. I could make up excuses, but honestly I just... didn't feel like blogging. I didn't feel like sitting down at my computer and writing a post about just anything.
If my blog had a particular topic or theme, then yeah, I think it would be easier.
But it doesn't.
I talk about what's on my mind. I talk about dealing with issues that young adults face. I talk about some controversial topics.
That's it.
And I have further bad news.
In the light of my upcoming thru-hike starting March 12, this blog will be ON HIATUS from now until I return from the Appalachian Trail. Hopefully, when I return I will be a seasoned backpacker, a 2,000 miler, and most importantly, a thru-hiker who has walked through every type of forest, in every kind of weather, struggled with hunger, bug bites (ticky ticky tick....), sickness, injury, and gear malfunctions, in order to stand upon Mount Katahdin.
My deaf ears hear the sound of millions (ha!!) of voices crying out in despair.
"But how will I get my occasional fix of Gina-isms? Her bitingly sarcastic humor is what gets me through the day!"
Aw, you flatter me, dear readers. You all warm the cockles of my cold heart.
For those of you who hunger for my Pulitzer Prize-worthy writing, fear not! I am somewhat more active over on Appalachian Trials (yes, Trials. Not Trail). I was selected to join the 2016 Class of Bloggers and blog about my pre-trail, trail, and post-trail experiences.
Right now, my brain is all Appalachian Trail and very little of anything else. I am busy thinking of ways to save money for the trail, where to find reliable gear, and just in general dreaming of the day I set off for my walk. My long walk.
OK.
My very, very, very long walk.
One that is approximately 2,200 miles long.
Happy?
Anyway.
So I'm somewhat more active over on Appalachian Trials and will become even more active once I finish gathering all my gear, creating my gear list to show off my new stuff, and start heading out on shakedown hikes in January and February.
And then you'll get to hear all about my adventures on the trail.
But in order for you to get your occasional dose of me, you'll need to scoot your booty over (or just click this upcoming link...) to here.
This link goes directly to my author's page on Appalachian Trials. Here, you can see all the posts I have written so far, and anytime I post something new, my page will automatically get updated with the most recent post.
Alternatively, on the page, there is a form you can fill out. Just under my bio you will see "Subscribe to Gina's Posts" with a blank form. Just put in your name and your e-mail. And ta-da! Anytime I post an update, you get an e-mail. In the e-mail, you'll see this:
Even further, I am working on adding a badge to this site, so when you click on the badge (it's gonna be huge and yellow - impossible to miss!) it'll take you to my author page where you can read to your heart's content.
However, I do strongly suggest that you check out the rest of the AppTrials website! There is a lot of cool content and it's updated almost constantly. Who knows, maybe I won't be, but someone else will be your inspiration, and you yourself will thru-hike the Appalachian Trail one day?
So, again, I wanted to remind all of my dear readers that:
This blog will be on hiatus effective immediately, through to the end of my Appalachian Trail thru-hike.
