Blog-vember or NoNoNaNoWriMo
31 Oct 2012
No No NaNoWriMo for me. I have come to a sad realisation that I cannot participate in NaNoWriMo this year. As much as this decision pains me, it is the right one for this year. I just cannot commit the necessary time and my experience last year taught me exactly what that commitment looks like. Of course, I am not willing to give up altogether. Too easy to do that.
Instead of NaNoWriMo this year, I give you Blog-vember!
A blog post every day for the month of November. At least that way I have a target and a writing goal. Feel free to leave pull-your-socks-up comments if I start writing about what I had for lunch – unless of course the lunch was at Tetsuya’s then you’ll just have to suffer through a blow by blow description.
For added interest, I will also give myself the end of November as the deadline for my long overdue book reviews that I keep promising and failing to deliver.
Join me! If you are NaNo-ing then go you. But if you are not join me for Blog-vember.
A post a day for November. Who’s in?
We are here #blogvember

[…] It’s the first of November. It is not 4 in the morning. Which is just as well as today has been full enough without extending it for another 10 hours. It is the first nice evening for a while and we are sitting outside. It is the start of Blogvember, or as we call it round here, NoNoNaNoWriMo. […]

Nanomini. A small version I have invented for self with the excuse of new baby and no sign of sleep. 250 words a day. It is enough of a challenge. Encouragement to all. Bloggers. Writers. Editors. And especially lovely you!

I love it!
NaNoMini is a beautiful idea.
Gorgeous. Small and perfectly formed, like your short stories.
Go well xox

I’m in editing mode for NaNoWriMo – getting my YA ms polished. (Totally gotta do what works for you during NaNo). If you go for it I will tune in. I love your writing :-)

Thank you. That’s fabulous news that you are editing.

Hmmm… I thought I might just rise to this challenge, but in the cold hard light of post-dinner-and-wine time, I remember that we have a silver wedding celebration coming up, with various others around the same time, and a bit of travelling, so it’s a forlorn hope that i could see it through. Don’t let me stop you, though.

You could do it.
Or you could blog hop and make helpful, encouraging comments :)

[…] (not ‘v’omitted… shocking Freudian typo) to blogging every day of November, as egged on by Stella Orbit’s Blog. It seemed easier than growing a moustache (though with each passing year this appears less and […]

Do we have a *button*?? ;)
Nov 01, 2012 @ 19:54:05
Oh good idea!
Working on it :)
Nov 01, 2012 @ 14:34:58
Can I say yes now and change my mind later???? :/
I guess I could use a challenge but that means starting TODAY, right?
Pesky challenges. ;) x
Nov 01, 2012 @ 15:29:06
Yep it means today!
You can dooooo itttttt!
Nov 01, 2013 @ 10:17:26
Oh Twitchy I love the way you think (because it so closely resembles how I do!) xxx

I’m in. I have 2 blogs that need a kick up the pants so I think I will alternate between the two for the month. http://www.segoviadreams.blogspot.com & http://www.theiloveyousong.blogspot.com I’m here via Naomi. Thanks for the inspiration!
Nov 01, 2012 @ 15:30:21
Glad to have you with us!
Nov 01, 2012 @ 22:04:44
Great to have you with us!
There is nothing like a little kick in the pants to get you moving!

Oh me! I just can not commit the time needed for NaNoWriMo, but I can just about get my head around blog-vember.
And if I start writing post after post on writing reports, you have my permission to withhold gin from me.
Nov 01, 2012 @ 15:27:15
I could never withhold gin from you. That would be cruel.

Go Stella! (I did #blog for30 in September, so won’t be joining you x)
Oct 31, 2012 @ 14:05:46
Thanks for the encouragement. I read some of your September posts but embarrassingly, not all.
Scurries off to read :)

You are going to play though, aren’t you? Aren’t you?
