NaBloPoMo?

A popular tradition has resumed for many of my friends this month, as November is NaNoWriMo — National Novel Writing Month. The idea is, write a novel of at least 50,000 words over the month of November. Doesn’t have to be a good novel, just has to be a novel.

I’ve never been all that good at writing creative fiction, which kinda hampers my ability to do much on that front. However, Eden Marriott Kennedy started a new sibling to NaNoWriMo, called NaBloPoMo — National Blog Posting Month — that only asks you to write a blog post every day, weekends inclusive, throughout the month of November. No cheating, either — you can’t back-date posts. Plus, in theory, if you wanted to drive yourself completely insane, you could do both projects. :-P

Now, obviously, as you can see from the date on this entry, I’ve already fal– well, no, I wasn’t on the wagon to begin with. So I’m already starting out chasing the wagon out of town. We’ll see how well I stay on it through the rest of the month… Maybe I’ll consider a novel next year… at the minimum, I want this to help me write more here.

  • I am determined to blog everyday for NaBloPoMo. :)
  • Yeah, that's one popular way to accomplish both tasks. Again, though, that presupposes talent (open or latent) in creative writing. :-P

    If done correctly you could kill two birds with one stone. Write a novel and post that day's pages to your blog!
