National Blog Posting Month
Who is still going the pace with NaBloPoMo?
With the final stretch in sight, who is hanging in there?
Is this event more challenging than you expected? In what ways?
Or do you find it easy? If so, what's your secret?
If you missed a day or two, did you get back up and keep running with it?

I'm still hanging in there. A lot going on in my life, so time is more an issue than blog fodder has been. I've an odd committment to getting something in every day, when I have so many other things pulling me in other directions. I think this grounds me, now; it's something that's mine...

I'm still here, which surprises me to no end. Its been a lot easier than I thought it would be though. I just hope I've gotten into a habit of doing it and I won't even realize that its over.

Keeping kosher so far, and even starting to plan a few posts in advance!
Writing a post is easy. Writing a GOOD post is the challenge. It's taken more time than I've thought.
I'm finding that when I expect to write a post every day, I'm coalescing words around one or two key images more often. Sometimes that means running out to buy something or staying late to use the scanner.
I also try to regularly update a comics blog in addition to my personal blog, so I'm probably over 30 by now in sheer number.
One thing I regret - I'd enjoy exploring the NaBloPoMo site more, but I need to eat and sleep too...

It's funny for me, because I started this challenge, truly hoping that it would at least get me to realize that I have a blog. Before this month, I don't think that I posted to it more than 5 times.
I have posted every day so far. I also have discovered that my blog is truly therapeutic. I REALLY need my blog. I hope that I can keep this up. Even doing a single sentence post is kind of a grounding thing. This challenge has truly helped me start to clear up things in my life. Thanks!

Still going.
I was really looking forward to this as a writing/blogging exercise. I was hoping to cut down on the size of my posts by posting more frequently .. I am often blog-stipated. I think too much about what I want to write and have dead air for a few days followed by a too-lengthy post.
I have posted at least once each day and sometimes more than once. Post-November, I'll try to keep posting once a day on average. It keeps the ideas and words flowing.

Part of it has always been easy - I always have things to say on both my blogs, even if it's just a couple of sentences about a books I've read (always have a backlog) or a picture of a stitching finish.
The hard part at first was the discipline needed to say something every day, rather than just comment on other people's blogs. Then it started getting easier, and now I'm actually looking forward each morning to putting a post up, and I'm doing two or three in a day...especially now I can see the end of the month is in sight :o)
I'm making no claims for the worth of my writing, my posts are the equivalent of my 11 yr old self writing what I ate for dinner and the weather in a little pocket diary, but I'm writing...

I haven't missed a day, which is a little surprising to me since I had a nagging feeling at the beginning that I wouldn't make it through November without missing a day. It's been pretty easy, to be honest. I just have a constant memo in my brain - MUST BLOG TODAY - and I haven't forgotten. YET!

This is how I flet as well!!! I actually started posting before I knew about this lol, but after that, made a conscious effort to post daily, even if it was something nonsensical.

I think that posting every day is like exercising every day; it's hard to get into the groove at first, but once you get into it, it flows very naturally.

I am still doing it, and quite proud I must say. I have cell phone AND email alerts set each day to help me remember to make my posts!

It was hard at first - but even more difficult over the holidays! Try prying a child off the myspace page six days in a row....UGH! Shared computer at home is NOT good for routine blogging.
Readership has increased, and since I usually posted 8-10 times a month, NaBloPoMo has encouraged me to blog more!
