I've been hanging in! One thing that played in my favor, I think, is the fact that being Canadian we had our Thanskgiving in October, so that didn't take away from my blogging time... This has been fun, didn't miss a day and enjoyed every minute of it!

I'm still hanging in here. Though last week was more challenging than other days due to holiday commitments. Being new to blogging, I'm still learning, navigating through webs of insightful resources. Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm still going. I usually post five times a week, so I thought the extra two days would be easy. It's really not. I like a challenge though, and I'm still keeping up.

I cannot believe it, but I have in fact posted every single day. I really didn't think I could do it, but I have! Yippee! My blog had been getting quite stale, so I thought NaBloPoMo would be a great challenge for me. There really have only been a couple of days when I had to force myself to come up with something to write about, but mostly I have looked forward to blogging every day. I have gotten way more hits than I use to on my blog, and I think I will be blogging on a much more regular basis now.

I'm amazed that I have not yet missed a day. I guess it's especially fantastic for me since we spent a week in St. Kitts where I was able to blog from paradise. :)

It's a lot easier than I thought it'd be.

I am having fun with this! Its my first year doing this and totally loving it! hubby on the other hand does not understand why "I just have to do my blog post for the day"before I do anything else! Its not challenging to me. A few times I almost didn't make it but then I just started typing and let the words flow. That is what makes this so interesting to me! And it gave me a chance to start posting daily in my blog! I have not missed one day though. Close but still got something out!

Still here. Way harder than I thought. I even wrote a post saying how I could NOT do it and I was bowing out. The next day once the pressure felt off, I caught my second wind and haven't missed a day. Some days even have substantial posts (for me). Would I do it again? No. I'd be nuts with my workload. It's been a great exercise though, in persistence and stick-to-it-iveness at the very least! 26 down, 5 to go.......

I usually have lots of things running through my head that I want to write. I just have problems picking and choosing what to say. Sometimes it's physically difficult to write, I had a week of blinding headaches due to allergies, and blogging was rather low on my to-do list. Or if I wait too late to blog, I'm too tired to try to remember what I wanted to say. The hardest part is just clicking on the blog to post. So far, I've blogged every day this month. It's gotten easier to get started. Usually I think over things too much. It will be nice to take a break in December, blogging seems to use up most of my writing creativity. kcn

I've managed to keep up. It wasnt difficult but it hasnt been easy either :P Nanowrimo fell by the wayside. I had overcommited for the month of November. One fall out has been my main blog as I havent made very many posts in it. This one I plan to see to the finish.

I'm also still in. And it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. I'm hoping that after this month is over, I'll be able to continue blogging on a regular basis. Maybe not every day, but more than I had been.

I just tallied and saw that I have posted 30 times already -- and we're only on the 26th. The secret is that I totally signed up and forgot about NaBloPoMo. I have been so busy blogging naturally, I forgot I was supposed to. Maybe that's why it worked for me :-)

The downside is that I have totally missed out on the NaBloPoMo community.

How are things going for you SBW?

I'm still going and proud of myself. Some days my brain went out for a walk so the entries are mostly air but I posted so I can't complain!

I haven't missed a day of blogging for months. I don't know what I would do without it--it clears away the cobwebs so I can write in my novel--another thing I do every day. Where's the prize page, huh? :)

I pretty much posted every day as it was, so it has been pretty easy! But, this weekend I was sick (flash: fetal position, can't keep liquids down, cold sweats) and I was dreading the daily post. I ended up blogging about being sick and got great comments. Whodathunkit??
