NaBloPoMo - National Blog Posting Month
View Single PostView Single Post

I just found this, and thought it sounded like fun!

Welcome to National Blog Posting Month!Welcome to the new home of NaBloPoMo!

"What the heck is going on here?" you ask. Well, it's pretty simple. You get yourself a blog, if you don't have one already -- and don't mind me if I'm stupefied at the idea that there's someone left in the English speaking world without their own blog. Then you look at the calendar, and when the whole world goes, "Oh, I can't believe they're already playing Christmas music in the warden's office!" you'll know it's November and that is the month in which you post something to your blog every day, in accordance with the National Blog Posting Month challenge!

Last year everybody just went for it, posting thirty days in a row and maybe hoping to win a prize in the random drawing. This year, for those of you who suspect you might run out of gas, maybe you'd like to try blogging on a theme. Follow a news story for the month; get deeper into an issue that you want to educate yourself about; keep us abreast of how your yoga practice / daily muffin-eating regime / matchstick Eiffel Tower is progressing.

Or simply use NaBloPoMo as a writing exercise, as an easier-to-accomplish alternative to the marathon that inspired it: National Novel Writing Month.

By the way, "every day" means Saturday and Sunday, too. Hence the above reference to "cheating." Not that you would.



I'm going to do it, here at TTF, even though I'm starting late. Maybe I will write extra to catch up (but maybe not. It's not THAT late, hehe). I will make each entry open, so no one thinks I am cheating by writing a private or Friends Only entry. Razz I will also try to make them somewhat interesting, haha. My personal goal has been to write something every day anyway, but I don't always meet that (or if I do it doesn't always get posted), so this is sort of a public challenge. Are you in? Have fun! Smile

Don't you almost do that anyways. Razz Well, I can try to, but I can't guarantee they will all be for everyone. That will be hard to do. It'll be a lot to read to if everyone did it. Shocked Of course, they can all be short ones.

I'll see if I can pull it off in my regular place. I just have a question. Is it supposed to be a new blog every day? Or, can it just be one really long narrative, updated on a daily basis.

YIKES!! Posting everyday, lately is seems I am lucky if its a couple times a month...I know that I won't be able to, but...I think maybe I can try for once or twice a week. I just don't think I have enough things to say that are interesting.

Um, fixed the blog again.... starting to think I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader! I take it those I set to "friends only" are only viewable and reply-able by friends - so allowing registered users to reply is no problem. thanks LadyZ for bringing this up or I never would have changed my blog settings and allowed people to see my babblings meant for all Smile

Thanks for allowing me to think out loud and you can now return to your regularly scheduled program.

I too have found myself guilty of having blogs set to friends only, so that even the ones marked for all registered users probably were not visiable.

I also noticed that my last blog...3 months ago....I mentioned writing about my office coworkers and what makes each of them so special...so..blog month...time to get back on that project.

And for those that were not on my friends list...I hope I have the blogs fixed. The last one was about the office in general..next ones to each highlight a coworker. Shhhhhh! Don't tell them about all their secrets that I will reveal. hee hee

Hey Kari, I have to say thank you for posting this and getting everybody (well...not everybody...) back into blogging. I'm enjoying reading up on what's going on with everyone. I hope others feel the same way. It's been a fun!!

Maybe we should have a theme for everyone to write about one day? Like all of us tell about one fun thing that the remember from their childhood? Or maybe something kooky that happened on their wedding day?

What do you all think? I think it would be cool. Any other suggestions? And who makes it offical? (I think the TF does that?)

I think it sounds cool, why don't you pick a theme and whoever wants to can run with it? Just post it here, and if anyone wants to they can, and if not, we won't bug 'em TOO much about it. Razz

I am also enjoying reading all the blogs, and also enjoying writing them! Glad others are, too! Very Happy
