Up before the sun
The early bird gets the worm
That’s if you like worms
*For the past three years, I have participated in the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Each of those years, during November, I wrote a 50,000+ word “novel.” I have yet to edit any of those into a reasonable version of a completed book. This year, I just don’t think my brain is ready to cooperate for a fourth try. So… as an alternative, I’m joining BlogHer’s National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo). There is no word-count to worry about, I just have to publish a daily post. Since I do that already, this one should be a cinch… if I didn’t just jinx it. Check out the BlogHer blogroll (see #45) of other participants, and read some great writing.

I was always impressed that you signed up and completed NaNoWriMo. And I can certainly understand letting this one pass by. It is a daunting task!

Having to meet certain daily word-count limits can be more a hinderance than help. It can cramp your creativity, because you’re more worried about making your quota than what you’re writing.

I like certain kinds of worms and most birds

I like worms too… especially the black and brown woolly worms. My grandpa used to say that the wider the brown stripe, the milder the coming winter.

Reading anything you write my friend…5 words, 50 words or 50,000. 🙂

I’m writing a book but thought I would sign up to NaBloPoMo as a way to begin each day … or something to dive into when the workflow falls over late-afternoon 🙂 Lovely to find your blog out here.
Sign I can’t sign in with my details because there’s some problem with WordPress and an account I don’t have, so Facebook it is … but I blog over at http://www.dimackey.com/blog
FB isn’t my most favourite platform in the world …

Thanks for stopping by… good luck with your book and NaBloPoMo. Sorry for the comment glitch, seems WP can be persnickety sometimes.

That last 50 should be an 80

Go Tara! I don’t Nano. Never have. I have got to edit as I go. When I’m on a tear, I can write 50,000 in far less than a month, but they then take four or five months to edit. It’s HARD to make 50,000 into 80,000, or to edit something that should BE 80,000 down to 50,000 then upgrade it to the saleable 50,000 again.
