Today marks the beginning of another round of National Blog Posting Month, a good exercise for us mad-crazy writers who need more excuses to belly up at the keyboard.
The best part of NaBloPoMo (can you say that five times fast?) is the discipline of writing daily: You must post. I suspect pictures and video do not count. Since you must post original writing to your blog everyday for the month of June, that doesn’t give you a lot of time to worry about if the writing is as perfect as you would like.
Write fast, write brave. Or fail. This is not the task for the wimpy blogger.
This blog has seen me take this challenge on before and I almost made it, yet was foiled by a failing clock battery. This month I vow to do better, lasting to the bitter glorious end.
I will not be defeated by a faulty kitchen clock.
And honestly, I need a challenge. My blogging here has been quite uninspired and lacking in drive, going weeks with me updating. I’m hoping NaBloPoMo will help me to get into a good rhythm so I can continue to write everyday beyond June 30.
Who is brave enough to join me?
It’s only 9:30 p.m. – you still have time to make today’s deadline if you haven’t written yet today.

Good luck – you can do it!!!
I hadnt heard about this but like the idea behind it. I pretty much already post every day.

I couldn’t do the 31 Day Build a Better Blog thing that Dan was encouraging us to consider, because May is all about end-of-school stuff. Plus, we had guests for two weeks. Impossible to post regularly that month.
But June? June is much more open.
Too bad I didn’t know about NaBloPoMo in time. I already missed the 1st. If I miss the very first day of a post-every-day-for-a-month thing, should I just forget it?

sorry, Ann. didn’t see your comment.
I guess you could do it if you miss the first day. It’s not like the Internet police are going to come and arrest you, right?
Sadly, I already blew it for the month because the post I had scheduled to go up on Saturday, while I was at the retreat, didn’t publish. No idea why. Oh well.
