Is anyone doing NaBloPoMo? →[More:] Only three people on my blogroll are participating in NaBloPoMo, and I'm finding it dispiriting to have so little company and comradery.

Yes, I can sift through the blogroll over at the main site, but it's a) incomplete and b) not so much with the satisfying. I'd rather read what y'all are writing, if you're writing.

C'mon, someone here must be as dumb as I am: did you sign up despite the dread? 'Fess up.

NaBloPoMo sounds terribly pornographic to me.

don't mind me if I'm stupefied at the idea that there's someone left in the English speaking world without their own blog.

What?? This person is easily stupefied then. Perhaps his or her next stupefication can come from the fact that not everyone has a car or watches tv.

I have no idea why I signed up for it, but I did.
I also signed up for a 365 Days project on Flickr starting 11/1.
What. Is. Wrong. With. Me.

What's your site, Elsa?

I suspect this is written by Mrs. Kennedy, and I further suspect that when you're a big-name blogger (or a big name whatever-er, for that matter) that most of those who surround you do also blog (or whatever). I also think she's poking some fun at her own perception, but that may just be me glossing over because I like her.

On preview: rhapsodie, I just took a peek at your site! Did you actually hand-letter that cake, or is it Photoshopped? If it's actual, it's amazing!

syntax, I'll keep an eye out for you in December! (Your site doesn't show up in your profile --- care to share?)

Oh, yeah: my site's linked in my profile. (How did I not foresee that this would look like me hustling to get eyes on my own weblog?) I'd love to know who else is doing this!

Regarding the cake: I see. I am dumb.

I totally didn't see your site in your profile. And I looked, too. Am dumb.

I'm forgoing NaNoWriMo this year, and I'm not participating in NaBloPoMo, at least not on purpose ... but I might attempt the Holidailies thing.

Yeah, you totally didn't see it because it totally wasn't there. Just after I posted that, I clicked through to double-check and --- lo! --- no URL, though I would've sworn it was there a month ago. I added it immediately.

this is my website/blog/thing.

and while i'm thinking about it, this is the only place where i even use the nickname "syntax" anymore - my old website was originally a site for my music project "the syntax of things", but it accidentally morphed into a political blog before slipping into a coma earlier this year. i should ask someone if i can change it. or maybe start a new user account...
