I am interrupting the Parties of Awesome recap to bring you this important message…
My feedreader is exploding.
Hundreds, thousands, like lots of posts are piling on top of other unread posts…
Posts of crap, full of nothing. But not yours of course, you are awesome.
THAT goes without saying. But I will say it anyway, just in case you are like, sensitive and shit.
So, like last year, I am declaring it Nah Blo Me month. Inter-fucking-national Post When You Damn Well Feel Like It Month.
This month I will post sporadically, as is my way. Every day, once a week, whatever.
When I have something to say.
Won’t you join me?
Please?
Cause otherwise I am gunna have to go all ‘Mark as all read’ on your arses and miss something VITALLY important.
{amended thanks to Chookie, cause I have no fucking idea what the shit is called, NoBloMo/NaBloPoMo/NoIdeaWhyIAmDoingThis/whatevz. I just know DO NOT WANT!}

I am 100% with you on this one! The amount of “I have nothing to say but I’m doing NaBloMo so here’s a post blah blah” posts is soooo annoying. Sure, some people might end up doing NaBloMo awesomely, but don’t kid yourself – if you don’t regularly post normally then there’s no way you’ll be able to post at least once every day yet remain interesting (or have something to say!)
Anyway. Rant over. Ha.

Apparently it’s really NaBloPoMo. Anything with such a pooncy name is just *asking* to be banned. I post when I have something to say, with my rough plan being to find that something about twice a week. Whooping cough hasn’t helped me achieve my aim! So rest assured I will not do Bad Things to your feed.

yep Im with you…although I will admit I did try the blog 365 thing…lasted for 3 days bwahahahaha
I’m with you. I post when I have something to say, and also have the time to say it! (Er – blog it)

Well you don’t have to worry about my blog jamming your feedreader because for me every month is NaBloMe.
It seems the end of October is a really bad time to travel to the country of limited internet – your reader explodes with posts you can’t access, then NaBloPoMo strikes and it just explodes even more.
I’m with you – NahBloMe month here I come too 🙂

Luckily I’m not all sensitive and shit.
I post when I damn well please anyway, so I guess I’m in.
.-= Gilz´s last blog ..Pass The Butter, Please! =-.
That’s okay love, you can mark me as read. I wasn’t even going to post today but then I had to call poison control, so I figured I’d write about that.
.-= Veronica´s last blog ..A big first =-.
I bet you’re glad now that I don’t have a blog to clog your feeder.
Thank you I’ve shamelessly stolen the idea. 🙂
no problem babe, go forth and spread the word my minions… I mean lovelies…
Sorry sweetie, I’m doing NaBloPoMo this year, as I do every year. I hope I am not filling your reader full of crap, but if I am, feel free to mark me as read.
.-= Riayn´s last blog ..Skeptic/Science Podcasts =-.
I’ve been hitting “MARK ALL READ THAT ARE A DAY OLD” just to keep up.

And when they get done blo-ing you, they can blo me. I’m with you Kell, give ’em hell.
Amen to this!

Shall now walk around with the joy of Teh-Awesomeness-Bestowed moral superiority for NOT posting about my nonnynonnywrimowing activities. Am queen of feed-reader discretion in not bragging to the world about how I’ve got over 13,000 words already in my novel about the Christmas elf who makes the world’s finest sex toys. Am goddess of blogness for not going on and on about how the words are literally flying off my fingertips. Am Random Kindness to Readers personified that I shan’t gloat about how fanfarkingtastic am I to take on this quest at the same time that I’m falling apart emotionally and considering running away from home with nothing but my laptop, a credit card, and my MagnetoBoldToo prayer altar.
What? Now I’m clogging Kelley’s comments with NoNoRyeBread prattle? That’s just as bad, you think?
Never mind.
.-= mama edge´s last blog ..The other R-word =-.
Seriously – posting just to post every day? Hmm. Pass.
.-= pixiemama´s last blog ..Wishcasting Wednesday on Thursday =-.
I am nablopomo-er, but you can definitely mark me as read – it *is* mostly drivel; if I want you to read something especially I’ll add a “KELLEY THIS IS FOR YOU” in the post title 😉
.-= Deidre´s last blog ..Hey – oh =-.
But NaBloPoMo (November ’07) is really where I got my start as a blogger. Before then I was just some schmuck who had no idea what blogging was all about – I was a diarist who thought that all I would do was record my adventures and progress as an artist. Because of NaBloPoMO – I started LouCeeL. Because of NaBloPoMo – I did Blog365 in 2008. Because of NaBloPoMo – I still blog every day. I know I don’t contribute much to the web, overall. But on a personal level, blogging has come to mean a great deal to me – and the people I have come to know, respect, and love (Like you, Your Awesomeness) are very important to me.
I am just one little itsy bitsy cog in the great wheel of the Internet and its blogs. For whatever that’s worth, I wouldn’t be the cog that I am if it had not been for NaBloPoMo.

I decided to do it this month too….because I felt myself slipping in the blogging department. So, sorry bout your feed reader. I get it.
Feel free to mark me as read too 🙂

Srsly, I’m with you babe. And my gReader? Is well organised with everything categorised into little folders, which mostly say “1000+ unread”. Meh.

This is me humping you for this post.

I can’t keep up on a regular month because I have, like, another life out there besides the blog life. I have to warsh the dishes once in a while, you know. I read who I can, when I can, and leave all the others to stack up posts I’ll never get to. And I don’t post every day, either. Who has something to say every day?
.-= Karen ´s last blog ..I Got A New Camera! =-.
Aww, those comments weren’t so bad, Kel …
I’m doing it, take no offence to this post (I’ll actually be stealing the badge if and when I fail – I think I did last year, too) and don’t expect anyone – even my most dedicated of readers – to keep up with my writing everyday. The ones that do win two solid years of my love and devotion 🙂

since i was told off the other day by my mother about posting “crap” to my blog i have gone through and removed posts and have just left photos on there. I go to google reader once a week and click mark all as read. there is usually about 2000 in there a week.. bloglines has well over 50K unread posts i gave up truing to catch up, and find that i read more on FB / Twitter and if something interests me like your posts i go straight to the blog.

Blow me, too.
I’m with ya. Not. Doing. It. I can’t keep up with the reading, let alone the writing!

Oh MAN I wish I’d seen this before I signed up again…but like Lou, NaBLoPoMo 2007 was what jumpstarted my real blogging addiction, and I’m hoping that by at least trying to post personal drivel on a daily basis, I will maintain the vestiges of something that is and has always been about me, and all about me (grasping at straws, it’s getting harder and harder!)
