There's now a NaNoWriMo group on BlogHer

Pookielocks started it. I want to make sure you know about it. Head on over to the NaNoWriMo BlogHer Group and introduce yourself. I'll stand on the sidelines and cheer. :)

I'm in!

... but I'm not too sure what I'm going to write about yet (and while it is bending the rules, I'm considering doing something non-fiction).

I made a simple tracking sheet today that might be helpful: http://www.domesticjoy.com.au/nanowrimo-tracker-template-and-some-resour...

Good luck!

November was the craziest month in college! I forgot all about that and I've only been out for two years! :-)

Thanks for the support!

I'll cheerlead

I have no desire to write a book in a month. lol I don't even know if I'd ever want to write a book. I'm pretty happy with reading them. But I'll happily cheerlead everyone who is doing it.

Funny that you mention college - I was always amused that NaNoWriMo happened in November. It was always one of the most term paper intense writing months for me in school. All I ever did in Novembers was write.

It was great seeing you Liz!

There's no gossip like lobster gossip. ;)

The thing with Atwood

sassymonkey — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:30:06 -0500

Is that when I see her in person and hear her read from her own stories, or just talk, I'm enthralled. (Yes, I've been lucky enough to meet her and attend several readings. Sigh. I really miss living in Toronto sometimes.) But when I actually read her works it's just not the same. To me, and I'm pretty sure I'm in a minority, I think of her as a storyteller more than a writer and I want her to tell me the story. Not words on a page, even though they are very fine words on a page.

Though this is a very good reminder that Moral Disorder has been languishing on my shelves for a very long time.

Sometimes I'm a fan, sometimes I am not. I am clicking to read the full post because I'm thinking about reading Bluebeard's Egg.

Lunchtime chatter

Cook4Seasons — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:35:54 -0500

Hey Liz,

It was great chatting with you at lunch. Love the recap. Thanks for the mention and link! I already have my webmaster working on the upgrades, and as for me...well I have plenty to work on myself.

Is there a feedback form I can access? You all did a great job, and with just a few 'edits' this will be the conference ALL bloggers will want to attend next year!

Take care,

Karen

Great snapshot of the conference

I do think there are so many amazing and multi-talented food bloggers out there that this was bound to be an outstanding group. Thanks for sharing your impressions of some of them. I didn't get to attend either of the two sessions you live-blogged, and just wish I could have attended every session.

Great to meet you too!

Liz,

Thanks for the mention and the shout-out to Ludwig, the crocheted lobster! It was a treat to meet you and others that you've mentioned in your post. Hope to do it all again next year.

Blogging and Writing

goddessdreams — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:40:08 -0500

From Kelly's comments: Writing that really reaches out and speaks to others has to have a level of honesty that the blogging world does not always appreciate.

I've written stories, poetry, and essays since I was nine. Blogging came to me several years ago and I do it because it keeps my brain oiled; because I can reach out to others who struggle with some of the same issues I struggle with; because I sometimes do say something that touches someone, something that makes a difference to someone. I write to preserve, as it has been said in This Bridge Called My Back, the me that the world would erase. I have found Kelly's comments to be true. The Blogging world does not always appreciate the writers' need to be deeply honest.

Don’t mind the destination, don’t mind the end. Learn from the past, but grab hold of now. Now is always evolving. ~Rumi

Image help?

Running With Letters — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:01:05 -0500

Can anyone out there point me in the right direction about including pictures in posts? I (thought) added the original artwork at the top of this post--but all that showed up was a little box with the image title...I'd love a pointer or two from some vetran blogher bloggers :)

I'm skipping the farmers market today

Denise — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 07:16:47 -0500

I have a ton of work to do. I pulled down my blog last week because it was bugging me, and now it's bugging me because it's not there. TW ran over my foot with the wheelchair twice yesterday, with her mother in it. I think I'm too tired, too stressed and too busy for the Farmers Market/Breakfast/Assisted Living visit today even though we are also running out of summer and I'll be longing for Farmers Market Sundays for months on end.

Thank you

You have just reminded me (all of us) that complaining is a luxury and that each moment is precious. My prayers are with you.
