A Post A Day Keeps The Wookiees Away – NaBloPoMo
November has long been known as National Novel Writing Month. I’ve considered participating for the last 3 years, but I’ve always been working on a book at the time.
Of course, I’m working on a book right now, but this National Blog Posting Month seems to be a bit more achievable. (aka NaBloPoMo) Especially with my earlier commitment to No One Cares… So I will be trying to post daily to unsweetened.ca
There is no try, blog or blog not.
So let’s see how I do.
Ah daily blogging! I don’t know if I could do that. There are days when there’s just no time to get to a computer. I’m going to try NaNoWriMo this year, but I think I might fail. I have no story, nothing yet and it’s already the first day tomorrow!
[this is good] Yes, I’ll give it a go
I just started blogging the beginning of this month. Have never done this before. I have made a committment to blog daily. Funny thing is, I go throughout my day thinking in terms of ‘bloggable’ content. “Is this blog worthy?” It’s like this constant internal editing process. Typically what I think is interesting yeilds absolutely no comments. And when I just slap something up there, neighbors respond. That’s what makes this so compelling to me. It’s fairly unpredictable.
I should really participate…probably going to be blogging daily, anyway. Must as well get “credit.”
reesie – it’s not going to be easy, but I’m going to try. NaNoWriMo is a much bigger investment of time and energy, though you could combine the two by using your writing as a blog entry. Good luck with that!
Sujatin – cool, I’ll make sure you’re on my Friends list and start stalking you. oops, I mean reading you.
It’s Come To This… – funnily enough your comment about being constantly in content gathering mode is one of the primary points made at a panel I was on recently on blogging. It’s one of the ways blogging has changed how people operate in their day-to-day lives. I like to think of it as being more present and engaging in one’s day, but it can also be viewed as constantly editing and/or manupulating to get a better story. I figure this is one of the major life challenges professional journalists have always faced.
re: slapping stuff up vrs interesting – We all have that problem. See my “trying too hard” post.
angelanoel – you might even win prizes… that’s extra good credit.
