NaBloPoMo

Many of you who lurk or don’t really pay attention to the highly nerdy world of blogging, may not know what NaBloPoMo is.  I am going to increase your blog geekery and attempt to explain.

National Blog Posting Month is a strange but intriguing venture started by someone to encourage others to blog more.  It is a spin on another bizarre creation called, NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), which is what I SHOULD be doing instead of writing shit for free.  The basic, and simplistic, concept of NaBloPoMo is to post on your own blog every day for the entire month of November. 

EASY!

All I have to do is think of something to write about every damn day.  I am pretty sure for me to really qualify I will have to do everyday myself and not rely on Liz to fill in on the weekends, or the occasional weekday. 

This could actually be a difficult task considering I have trouble remembering to do the normal activities of daily living EVERY day; things such as bathing, brushing my teeth, Not masturbating, etc.

I had meant to attempt this task last year, but did not realize it was going on until the 2nd of November, hence missing the first day, effectively blowing the entire purpose.  It is a very unforgiving contest.  I don’t really know if there is any prize or benefit.  Maybe Killer Rants will be lifted out of the muck and held aloft for all the really important blog readers to see.  The ones who make urban legends and best sellers out of mediocre writers.  I can be just as mediocre as the next guy.  Watch me get all mediocre up on this bitch!

A special thanks to Fringes for warning me with plenty of time to get ramped up.  She is also going to do it again this year.  She blames it on turning her fun loving blog into the therapeutic bare-all that it often is.  So, I won’t be going it alone.  I also encourage all of you to give it a shot.  Especially those who don’t have a blog of their own (Hellohahanarf).  It could be a great way to start.  And, if you run out of daily ideas, just do a couple of posts about my balls, that always works for me. 

  • Making November National Blog Post Month was a mistake.  It’s already National Novel Writing Month.  You really can’t do justice to both at the same time.

    They should have made October National Blog Post Month.  Then you’d be used to writing something everyday.  A good warm-up for writing that novel the next month.

    Or maybe September should have been National Blog Post Month.  You’d get used to writing everyday, and then in October maybe you’d write notes on your novel everyday or work on a short story or essay everyday.  And then by the time November you’d be ready to write that novel.

    Okay, I’m a nice person and usually try to watch my language.  Someone come up with an appropriate swear word and add it to the comments here on my behalf.  Thanks.

    Oh, and I’m totally screwed on the National Novel Writing Month thing already this year, not even going to try, cause I’m going out of town for a couple of weeks and when I get back I’ll have to catch up on school art projects and such.

    Sorry I didn’t beat Dmarks on that Dune spice thing.  Like, I was busy, okay?

  • Thanks for letting all of us write about your balls. Not everyone in Blogistan is so generous. The ‘chick would like to offer up her ta-tas in the event that you run out of ball-related content. Fair is fair.

    The ‘chick faithfully promises that any revenue generated from posts about YOUR balls will be shared with you.

  • I’m getting so excited for November now...all the reading material!

  • I did it last year, so I’ll do it this year too.

    What? can’t you think of thirty things to say abour your balls? One a day, that’s all it takes.

  • “This could actually be a difficult task considering I have trouble remembering to do the normal activities of daily living EVERY day; things such as bathing, brushing my teeth, Not masturbating, etc.”

    why is not masterbating something you consider a normal daily activity?  sounds abnormal to me!

    thanks for trying to call me out into the blog world, but i have to work a trade show in vegas in november.  i’ll be lucky to know my own name.  and how could i be expected to write about it?  what happens in vegas stays in vegas....

    damn it!

    Roadchick:
    I will enjoy speaking of your tatas, much appreciated.

    celebrate Woo-woo:
    read on crazy diamond, read on.

    Churlita:
    I don’t want to be a one-ball pony.

    hello:
    not masturbating is a goal everyday...a goal that I fail several times a day.

  • Ah. I see a post that contains the phrase “beat Dmarks”. Perhaps there have already been others. Perhaps there will be more.

    October would be a good month for me for “blog posting month”. I already have much of the month mapped out with from 1 to 3 posts per day.

    Is Hellohahanarf master of his/her own domain?

  • And Killer? About putting viagra on your Cheerio’s on the morning? Get Lucky Charms instead. Come on, what do you think those “New Blue Diamonds” they added a few years ago really were?

    By dmarks on 2007 10 04

  • NaBlo started as an alternative to NaNo, not intended for people to try both at the same time. I like my torture one at a time.

    Having said that...Killer, have you signed up on the site yet? I’ve been trolling for people I know. I’ve found 5.

    See you there!

  • I started my blog as an tool to start writing every day. The plan was to get my skills up and get into the rhythm so I could cut over to actually writing a novel. I lasted 2 and a half months with the every day thing. It’s much harder than it looks.

    I might give it a try.

  • Killer,

    Your prediciton is correct. You cannot count on me to blog everyday. My god.

    Best of luck.

  • dmarks,
    this female is without a doubt master of her own demain. 
    today.

  • dmarks:
    If I had known that was what the blue diamonds were I would just eat lucky charms instead.  It would save me some money.

    Fringes:
    Yes, I just signed up and am ready to accept the millions of friend requests that are surely to start rolling in.

    Dave:
    Oh yeah, daily blogging is hard...it is even hard if you have a partner to do some of the blogging.

    Liz:
    You lazy ass bastard.

    hellohahanarf:
    Was today not a good day?

    By Killer on 2007 10 05

  • that is what happens when i go to trade shows (i am in columbus)...i become a master of my own domain...sigh…

    By hellohahanarf on 2007 10 06

  • hellohahanarf:
    You would think at trade shows that would be the prime time to Not master that domain.

    My name is Kelsea and I am an associate casting producer for MTV. I am currently working on casting a new docu-series and we’re looking for young adults who have really stepped up to the plate and are helping their mom out who’s going through a hard time, whether it be going back to school, full-time job or even partying too much. We really want to congratulate these teens and document what they’ve been going through on a daily basis, as well as see if we can help in some way.
