November NaBloPoMo 2008

Have you signed up for November's NaBloPoMo yet? Because I have.

"National Blog Posting Month is the epicenter of daily blogging! People who want to set the habit of blogging by doing it every day for a month, including weekends, can come here for moral support, inspiration, and the camaraderie that only marathon blogging can provide."

I vow to write every day for the thirty days of November and exercise my blogging skills. Join me! It can be our last great hoorah of 2008 before December and the foofaraw of the Christmas season devours us whole.

Ok. I confess. I'm a feed reader-reader and your call lured me over. My what a nice header you have!

Guess blogger doesn't offer the option to display full/partial posts in a reader?? Ahh, Wordpress, you tricky devil.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterthe almost right word

Blogger does offer the option of partial vs. full feeds, but I don't want to go to partial feeds to leave the choice up to the reader whether they want to click over here or not.

The peer pressure might be getting to me, but I just don't know if I might end up hating my blog if I'm forced to post every day.

Definitely only do it if it could be fun. A blog is like a boyfriend that you don't know if you want to marry because he can be irritating. Seeing him a couple of times a week is fun, but more than that can threaten your infatuation.

ok, ok!! i admit.. i signed up.

captain dumbass told me i was a 'perfect candidate', so i had to check it out. i'm already gearing up for nanowrimo, and now i've gone and signed up for this too! AAAAGGHHH!!!!

that's ok. i can do it. ;)

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterChurchPunkMom

I am all signed up! I can't believe how dorkily I've been looking forward to this. Like, seriously dorking out about having a reason to blog every day.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTamara

I think I will sign up. Maybe it will help me meet new people?

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterHeathercoo

I travel in November. Until I get a laptop, nablopomo is just an exercise (in futility). I generally sign up anyway. I love love love the new masthead.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSarah Louise

Me! Me! Sign me up! (I must be nuts, but hey, it's fun.)

Oo, all retro typewritey masthead. Me likey.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJoy!

The new masthead photo is of an old Underwood typewriter that I have on our mantle.

I signed up but don't have a badge thingy on my new blog yet. BABYSTEPS!

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAr8eo

And evidentally cannot spell today. Not even my own name. I suck today!

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAriel

I'm looking forward to reading you.

I'm still undecided...I did it the last two years, but this year seems busier somehow...

Kudos for a full feed! Partial feeds drive me batty, and I rarely click through :)

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAngella

I'm signed up. Basically, I have nothing else to do but write.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKathy

Hmmm, should I? I'm scared I'll fail!

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterHeadless Mom

I'm there too!

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAimee Greeblemonkey

I haven't signed up yet. I did it last year, I just don't know if I can bring myself to do it again.

But it's only the 29th. I have TONS of time to figure it out. ;)

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Unregistered Commentersam {temptingmama}

I'm signed up - but aren't I already kind of automatically signed up since I was a member last year? I reentered my account and it doesn't seem like anything has changed much.

Still not 100% sure if I'll go in this or not...I'm supposed to be doing a blogging workshop in a few weeks, it'll give me the impetus to think about that at least!

Make sure to email Eden at nablopomo@gmail.com and request to be put on the November blogroll so that you are eligible for prizes.

I did! I did! I will be sending more vacuity out into cyberspace than usual. And verily, the world rejoices and my relationship collapses around my ears and my pets starve and my children also and I get sacked.

Hooray for extra Schmutzie though.

Thursday, October 30, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJaywalker

I'm just finishing up a 21 for 31 tour of duty- I'm going to take a break! Although it is a bit addictive....

Thursday, October 30, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterstarrlife
