NaBloPoMo & Stuff
I’m not a cool aspiring novelist like MrsBroccoliGuy or Nicole. I briefly considered doing NaNoWriMo but when I failed on day one, I tossed the whole concept. Last night, though, I stumbled upon NaBloPoMo and wonder why no one told me about this before? Because this? Right up my ally!!!!!!!!
NaBloPoMo, aside from having a way cooler name than NaNoWriMo, is also a lot more attainable for me. It involves blogging daily for the entire month of November. Piece. Of. Cake. Ok so it’s the 5th and I already missed a day but that was before I even KNEW about NaBlo, I am hoping that my multiple posts on Nov 1 made up for it? Do you think?
My challenge for NaBloPoMo is to NOT turn this blog into a daily journal. When I pressure myself to blog daily I tend to end up doing things like writing “Today we went…and the baby did….and I am so tired!”. No one wants to read a boring personal journal. I’d like to blog on a theme, daily, but can not think of a compelling enough theme.
I am open to suggestions. What theme would you actually read about, daily???

Oh man that’s a much more attainable goal! Damn. I’ve already committed myself to 50k words. Not that I’m anywhere NEAR that amount right now. My personal goal is 25k. I’ll be sure to tune in everyday. Oh, I’ll match your goal by committing to comment on your blog everyday.

I read everyday and I am big time rooting for you! Do it! Sorry it’s for selfish reasons….when you miss a day, I pace the house waiting for you to write something, anything LOL.
How about….each day writing about something new you discovered about your new home and/or your new state? I, personally, think your “daily journal is interesting so when Nov is over, mix it up LOL.
Am I bossy?
I am sure you will think of something because your biggest talent is observation.
You are a great writer and anything you blog about will spark interest!!!

Great idea! For the record I would happily read a ‘we did this, baby did this and I’m tired’ blog. But hmm…a theme. What about things you like. Websites, eBay sellers ;), books, cell phones, books…..
Have fun! Looking forward to what will come of this!!

Great idea! I’m sure you’ll do great! There are tons of themes this time of year. We’re getting close to the holidays so you can easily do stuff like traditions in your family, small interviews with the kids on what they like best about the holiday season, your favorite activites during those cold winter days (yeah, I know you don’t get those cold winter days like before, but pretend!
) I can’t wait to read some more from you!

I would read “…and the baby did…” anytime. The baby rocks! I would also , if I were you, post about something funny that Noah does. He does funny things a lot. That would give you a lot to write about!

How about attachment parenting? You could do some aspect of THAT for 30 days…
