NaBloPoMo – Can you Pronounce it?

Posted by Samar | Posted in General | Posted on 30-10-2008

If there’s one thing I know, it’s blogging. Having been doing it for four years I can safely say that blogging is what I do best. It’s also what made me forget formal article/essay writing for a while. So when I discovered NaBloPoMo yesterday, my ears perked up and my eyes got shiny. I know, bad analogy.

To be honest, I can’t even pronounce the abbreviation. It’s easier to say National Blog Posting Month than NaBloPoMo. After deciding not to participate in NaNoWriMo (at least it rhymes!), I came across this. Needless to say, I found it interesting! So what if I can’t pronounce it? It sounds like fun and it is completely doable!

I signed up today, but I registered my personal blog. For this blog, I have plans. And NaBloPoMo is not featured in them. Those ‘plans’ are that I have an open list of topics that I will be blogging about here. If I do the NaBloPoMo here, I’d run out of them and frankly not do justice to the posts. And I have this innate habit of rambling after a long day at work…and these days I am having long days thanks to the work that I’ve gotten (Post coming up on that very soon).

So, interested in my personal, non-freelancing life? Send me an email, tell me about yourself and assure me you’re not a stalker/plagiariser/antagonise-r and I’ll send you a link.

Samar, well, I just signed up for that No-blow thingie. I am still unclear what it is about and how to do it. All I know is that I now need to post each day for the next month. Any tips or suggestions?

Lol! @ No-blow. That’s all you need to do. Post on your blog every day. I haven’t read the FAQ’s yet so don’t know what’s the procedure at the end of the month. But I’ll find out and let you know!
