NaBloPoMo/attack of the killer acronyms

Oct 30, 2008 13:19

So I've made a decision to do NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month - just make a blog post once a day during the month of November).

I'm doing this, in part, in solidarity with my friends who are doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month - write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November) which, despite an early thought to perhaps try ( Read more... )

This was my favorite NaBloPoMo post from last year: http://chasethestars.livejournal.com/508756.html (the second to last line)

If you get stuck, post a lolcat or a poll. Or stats on where you are in Heroes/Villains!

My general posts (when I post them) are "here's what I did today", and usually I figure there's enough for a decent sized post.

Dear LJ: today I worked. Around 10 p.m. I may switch over to City of Villains. The end.

(I'm really not too creative, but will work on delivery)

That still counts, though! :D

There's always "txtlj instead of twitter", too.

When I blog, I'm usually holding forth about LJ stuff. FAQ-a-day if you're stuck for inspiration?

Call it whatever you want, but blogging ain't that complicated (doesn't mean it's easy though). I like this post from Merlin Mann on what makes for a good blog (which might also apply to what makes a good journal).
"Good blogs reflect focused obsessions. People start real blogs because they think about something a lot. Maybe even five things. But, their brain so overflows with curiosity about a family of topics that they can’t stop reading and writing about it."
So don't worry about writing what's interesting to others - just blog about what you can't stop thinking about.

City of Villains, geeklite, LJ, Bruce Campbell, and William Shatner it is! Sounds good!

Seconded.

You could also do polls like this one to acquire lists of topics, then follow-up polls to have us choose a topic for you. Until that method stops working for you, of course.
