NaBloPoMo
So many people on my flist are doing NaNoWriMo, but I'm more into fanfic, really. I guess I could try writing 50 000 words of fic, if I really wanted... or perhaps not. Anyway, I'll be doing NaBloPoMo instead.
Qu'est-ce que c'est, you ask?
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.
If anyone else is interested, go have a look for yourselves at the NaBloPoMo website.
And I've already missed one day. Curses.
I'll try not to fill up the days with memes, and I do have lots to write about: exams, the imminent Federal Election, my birthday, Spamalot, new fics to post...
But suggestions are welcome. What do you want me to write about? Should I open up the drabble challenge again? I can rec fics and artists, music, books, movies...
Until tomorrow, fellow bloggers.
