NaBloPoMo 2009

It’s that time of year again, where I attempt to entertain you every day for the month of November!

Here’s a little blurb about NaBloPoMo, from the FAQ:

The whole thing started off as a goof based on National Novel Writing Month, the challenge of which is to try to write an entire novel during the month November. Not everyone can commit to an endeavor of such magnitude, though, and so National Blog Posting Month was born. However, after doing a November NaBlo for a couple of years in a row it seemed that a lot of people had found their momentum and wanted to keep going into December and beyond. So now NaBloPoMo is something you can drop into any month of the year, though November is still the biggest month, and is the only month when members donate prizes that are then given out randomly to other members who posted every day in November.

I wasn’t sure if my heart was in NaBloPoMo this year, but I know I’ll be cranky if I have to watch everyone else doing it! The satisfaction of finishing those 30 days is too great to pass up, and besides – I always discover the most interesting blogs in November as I scour the web for inspiration.

And now that I’ve created an elaborate graphic to mark the occasion, I guess I’m locked in! Feel free to use the image above on your own blog if you’re participating this year, or throw this one in your sidebar:

(Please save the images to your own server.)

I’ve also decided to donate a couple of prizes to the prize pool. Pending Eden’s approval, I’ll be donating an Aussie-themed food/confectionary pack (to an overseas participant), and an 8×12″ print from my photography portfolio at Scarlet Arts.

So – who’s with me? I’d like to set up a folder in my RSS reader of other bloggers participating in the NaBloPoMo madness. Leave me a comment if you’ve signed up!

    Good luck with you post a day! I’m not making any commitments myself this month, as Clara, my scottie dog, has just had a litter of puppies and I think I’ll have my hands full.
