It's been nearly a year since I started blogging on Wordpress. I started out strong-- it was the end of November, which meant it was during last year's NaBloPoMo (what is that, you wonder? More about it in a sec). Which meant it was right around the time I started reading Tabitha's blog, where her daily postings inspired me to try to follow suit. Especially since I was actually *paying* to use Wordpress! As you can tell, I haven't always been successful, and by the time 2010 rolled around, I had dwindled to an average of one post a week, which dropped down to one per month in recent, well, months.
So... what IS NaBloPoMo, you ask? Well, perhaps more of you are familiar with NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month which takes place every November. A few years ago, a spinoff on it, National Blog Posting Month, was born. Its premise is simple: blog every day for the entire month of November. Yep. 30 days of nonstop blogging. I learned about it too late last year (November was already well under way), but now that it's looming again, I thought I would give it a try. Maybe blogging every day will get me back into the groove of posting more often. Maybe not everyday, but certainly more than once a week!
I've been jotting down ideas for posts that have been swirling around in my head for a while, so I'll have something to write about on days when inspiration simply won't hit.
But what I'd really like is to hear feedback from you (yeah, right-- hardly anyone comments anymore, but hey-- a girl can hope, right?).
What would you like me to write about?
There are 30 days in November, I've got about a week's worth of posts already pre-mapped out in outline form, and I'd really love to solicit suggestions from you. So bring 'em! No matter how serious, how risque, how deep, how shallow, how ridiculous or how silly you think it is. You know better than anyone how much I can ramble off on tangents, no matter what the subject ;-) So-- comment here, post on Facebook, send me an email, send me an IM, talk to me in person!
Here's to November!
I would like to hear more about Todd's progress, your cooking adventures, and more about what Helly sees around that you think are neat/interesting/funny or strange. Photos are cool too. I don't have a blog anymore since I left and moved in with my mom, I have been busier than ever...but I miss blogging. This is making me nostalgic of the Grab blog parties...muahahaha OH the things you can laugh about when the postings start flowing!!
ReplyDeleteHehe.. well, between Todd's diary (which I haven't updated in forever), my cooking blog (ironically, I rarely cooked over the summer) and my now-resurrected Project 365 journal, I think that covers all your bases ;-) But I'm sure there's room for some general rumination without delving into boring details. I'll have to see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestions!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I totally hear you on being so busy-- same here. And I only have *one* kid. Plus Allan to help. So I can't imagine how much busier you must be. Still, if you ever do find a spare moment to write about what's been going on with you and the kids, I'd sure love to read it! :-)
