Blogging away November

No matter what next week’s tests reveal for me I have a feeling that I will need to vent and purge quite often. Luckily for you November is a good month for such a need. The lazy persons answer to NaNoWriMo is NaBloPoMo. While I am sure there are brilliant writers able to do both I am certain that I am not that kind of writer. In fact I was such a failure at novel writing last year that I have all kinds of new awe for those of you that are able to do it year after year.

But writing a blog post every day for the month of November? I can do that. Oh yes I can. And I want to. I am starting a list of things that I have always wanted to write about but never have. I also am open to suggestions and or requests. Maybe.

There is a swank site where you can register yourself and proclaim that you do have copious amounts of free time and that you will blog every day. I have also set up a group for the IVP. So once you register and set up your own page you can come join our group.

If anything this is just a fun way to discipline your writing. In the two plus years that I have been blogging I have felt my writing evolve and grow. Just by having something to come to every day, that structure, has helped. Plus it is always kind of amusing to go back into the archives and read with perspective.

Let me know if you are going to sign up. If you commit to it I will commit to commenting to every post you write.

Ack. I really want to, but I am “afraid of commitment.”
But my desire to hang with the cool kids might just over-ride the fear. I am sure a glass of whiskey will help me decide.

I’d love to do this cal but i’m not sure i’ve got the brainspace or the time, i guess that’s the point of it hey? i’ll try, it’s probably a great thing to free up the whole pressure you put yourself under to write something complete and marvellous blah blah and i really wanted to do the novel thing too and realised that was crazywoman talk. so count me in but be aware i may just fall in the first week. and….for your list of posts ….(you may well have already done this and i missed it but) i would love to hear the story behind the photos on your blog. it is such an evocative parade of womens faces and it is facinating to see a child in one picture and her as the adult beside it for instance. when i look at those portraits i wonder what part of the world they are in and what sort of women they were and are and how you see yourself beside them….

OH gosh… I think everyone would die if they had to read my boring stuff everyday But, it would be worth it if you would come and comment everyday! I will check it out though!!!!

I’d committ, but I’m so damn unreliable once I promise to do anything.

Unpromised however, I’m likely to post every day anyway, g-d knows that the universe is damn good at giving me sufficient information.

! Brilliant !

See, I knew when I signed up fro NaNoWriMo that it was a mistake. I haven’t lived long enough to pump out the novel I have in my head. At least, not 50,000 words worth. That’s a lot of words.

So I’ll do this. I’ve signed up, set up, blogrolled up, all that stuff.

Good luck =)

Darn. I would so do this if I wasn’t about to go off and do an IVF out of town. Without a laptop. Grrr.

I have commitment issues with blogging, but you’re inspiring me so I’m in

I’m in. As a writing instructor, I’m always giving my students assignments like these, but I never follow through with them myself, so this should be great discipline and a bit of fun to boot!

Okay, okay! I’m in. Yikes!

love my palm treo 680. internet is super slow though so that’s a waste but my company pays for data. full keyboard for easy texting. syncs easily with onto my mac using palm desktop. next stop: iPhone but waiting for next version. as for lepaord, my hubby says to wait until they “get the bugs out.” don’t know when that will be. no recliner suggestions. baby trick or treaters are b*llshit.
