I’m doing it because I felt like I needed a kick in the butt to get out of my blog depression.
I also have had a ton of posts kicking around in my head, and I’m hoping this will force them out of me. Get over my blog writing block.

I TOTALLY hear what you’re saying about direction. I often wish I could blog about other stuff, but I try to stay generally on topic.

Personally, I’m glad you don’t post very often. Quality, not quantity, right? And I can’t keep up with all my peeps as it is!
I agree with Neil, a one week no blogging rule would be AWESOME! so I could catch up!

I signed up so last minute (literally 11:55pm) it was ridiculous. But my intentions are much as the general consensus; it’s fun to try, and I’d like to write out a few recent happenings in more detail, but only if I am (mildly) interesting consistently, and if not, then I will spare everyone (including myself) the torture.

Good luck! with the blog discovering, as to which direction you want to take yours. I find my intentions and ideas are are ever changing. : )

I hope you continue to write here, I love stopping by and living vicariously through you :). And good for you for saying ‘No’. I am a wimp and had to join the bandwagon, but I needed a challenge so I don’t min.

I’m not doing it either. I write when the urge hits, and only then. Or else it just feels forced and I hate that. Take whatever break you need then hurry back when you’re feeling inspired again.

Good for you for saying No! It should be fun, not forced. You’ll start writing again when you do, no hurry.

Thanks for the mention. I like your blog, even if it does feature the chicks a lot.
Actually, I’m impressed that you’re taking the stand to say ‘no’. Not that I needed to say ‘No’ to NaBloPoMo, but I do have a hard time recognizing that I can say ‘No’ to things that will drain me. So, kudos to you on that one!

I totally, TOTALLY know what you mean. And, it’s hard to pass up a challenge!

“Bad ass” hee!
Last year I tried it and then failed when my laptop broke. This year I’m trying it and I have a general theme and then the regular stuff. Like it won’t be the same thing everyday, but I will have the one story that I’m writing about and then the next day a recipe and the next day I’ll be writing about drinking and giving people who turn left the finger. Should be fun.

I did it last year, and it truly sucked. It made blogging into a chore. I’m going to try it again, but this time, if I get bored, I’m just going to quit doing it every day. What can happen? Can I fire myself from my own blog? I had the same thought last year — if everyone is so busy writing seven days a week, no one is going to have time to read anyone else! The whole blogosphere will be people writing and reading their own posts. I’d like to suggest a week where NO ONE writes.

i want to be the clever one but alas, i’m not. what you really should have said is, “gorillabuns is the badass queen of cussing!”

wait… maybe, i shouldn’t brag about that god-given quality.

anyway, thank you for the much undeserved compliment.

i’m not doing the nano-whatcha-majig. because, even though i blog, i’m not a joiner of group projects.

you have your own voice which is distinct and full of life. i’ve found when i read too much of a good thing, i try to become that person and sadly, i suck at it. it’s not me.

what’s the saying? “write what you know, know what you write.” (look at me spouting off crap, i clearly have no clue about.)

you already do that, my friend (not the spouting off the clueless crap but writing about what you know.)
