NaBloPoMo 2009

I didn’t enter this blog on the NaBloPoMo November blogroll, but I’ve kind of been in the running unofficially. It’s easy to write something every day in November, because if all else fails I’ll still blog about my wordcount and how easy it was to write those words.

I’m considering the challenge for December, though. On the one hand, it would be good to get a blogging routine up and running again. On the other, though, I know that December will be a tricky month for daily blogging. I’ll be travelling home for Christmas, and there everybody and the world will want to see me because I live abroad, and they – the dogs in particular – will not be impressed if I disappear in the middle of brunch, lunch or dinner because I need to write a new blog post. So I’m not sure what to do. Maybe I’ll be an unofficial participant again – at least for the first 21 days of the month.

Breaking a habit

I remember why I started this blog. This was supposed to be a place where I chronicled my progress as a writer and where I shared things I learnt along the way with other writers.

But I keep forgetting this, and recently – over the last two years or so – I’ve only remembered when NaNoWriMo came around. It’s time I break this habit. It’s time I take this blog seriously again.

NaBloPoMo every month

New rules over at NaBloPoMo: There will be a BloPoMo, or Blog Posting Month, every month from March on. That means you will have the chance to post /- 30 blog entries during the month that suits you best. November will remain the “official” NaBloPoMo, though.

They have also introduced a different theme for every month, but writing themed posts is optional. In March, the theme is going to be Lists. As I love making lists, I will definitely give it a go – broadband availability permitting, that is.

Because One Blog is not enough

I am the new writer at Writing Words!

Meet the Bloggers on BBC Radio 4

There is a show on BBC Radio 4 called Meet the Bloggers, which is on Tuesday morning for the next two or three weeks. You can listen again for one week after each show has been broadcast.

I listened to last week’s episode yesterday and enjoyed it a lot. Hope some of you will, too.
