Two years back, around the end of November I found out that there is something called NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month held in November annually. NaNoWriMo was about writing a novel in the month of November by posting every day for the month of November. From one of those blogs, eventually I found out about NaBloPoMo hosted at Blogher. I saw a lot of participants there blogging every day of a month. I thought pretty insane – of course, for an inconsistent blogger like me, blogging every day for a month did have to sound insane.I understood that a lot of bloggers took up such challenges and wondered if I could ever do that and obviously didn’t give it a further thought.

It’s only since last July, almost one and a half years later, I started to blog more often than before. While reconnecting with the blogging world I met so many bloggers who did and doing challenges through every day. Again I acknowledged that it was quite a commitment, but I could never take it up because I lack in whatever it takes to commit to such a big task.
October 1st I noticed that I have been writing for three days straight and as an impulse I signed up for NaBloPoMo for the month of October and then for the Ultimate blog challenge, also for the Ultra blog challenge. I am also linking up at Write Tribe. Today is the 10th day and I am doing it. It is hard some days, but I am trying my best. Since yesterday, I am not at my creative best though. Pushing the limits to find the creative me is fairly new to me and I’m liking it. All these are happening at my other blog, Void Thoughts.
I still don’t know if I would write for the rest of the 21 days, I sure hope to do so. Even if I didn’t, well, I blogged for 10 + 3 –>13 days straight. That is a record for me. 🙂
Are you guys participating in any challenge? How often do you blog in a week? What do you think about writing for every day of a month?
Let’s encourage each other to do so throughout this month of blogging challenges!
I’ve gone through similar experience.. When we have nothing to write and we keep writing one para and then erasing it.. A really annoying moment; however being consistent with blog is a good thing
