Quick Poll
For all the bloggers who are doing National Novel Writing Month, I’m curious about how you’re preparing for it. I’m posting this quiz here and on the NaNo forums, and I’ll post the answers here as well.
The poll…
- Will you continue to blog during NaNo?
- Will you try to keep your normal posting schedule/frequency?
- Are you writing any posts ahead of time to use in November?
- If so, then how many do you have so far?
- Will you blog about your NaNo experiences?
To kick things off, here are my answers.
- Will you continue to blog during NaNo? Yes
- Will you try to keep your normal posting schedule/frequency? Yes
- Are you writing any posts ahead of time to use in November? Yes
- If so, then how many do you have so far? Only five!
- Will you blog about your NaNo experiences? Yes
That’s it! I’ll be putting together a list of bloggers blogging about NaNo and linking from here, so if you’re interested in a link, let me know so I can include you.

This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo, and I’m also a relatively new blogger. So I might be a little optimistic, but:
1. Yes, I’m going to blog during NaNo.
And I’m far too chicken to post excerpts!
2. Yes, I’m going to keep my regular (weekdays) posting schedule.
3. Yes, I’m trying to write ahead of time
4. I have rough drafts for two weeks. I intend to polish up at least five of those before NaNo starts.
5. Yes, I’m planning on blogging about NaNo, but I’m going to try to keep it to a once-a-week recap, rather than a daily whine
Great poll! I’m interested to see what others have to say. I’d love to have my blog, heretocreate.com, linked. Thanks!

I’ll blog daily during nano…not writing ahead, as I don’t know what will inspire me. How could I not blog about NANO.
My blog is: http://anngonzalez.wordpress.com/

1. Will you continue to blog during NaNo?
Yes, I do plan to keep blogging during NaNo.
2. Will you try to keep your normal posting schedule/frequency?
Yes, I do. The schedule was once daily but has fallen back to several times a week.
3. Are you writing any posts ahead of time to use in November?
No, I haven’t, but I blog about NaNo as well, so writing them in advance wouldn’t make much sense.
4. If so, then how many do you have so far?
None.
5. Will you blog about your NaNo experiences?
Of course, as NaNo tends to eat my journal in November.
The blog is linked, and I don’t mind having it linked if you do a links post. Happy NaNoing!

1. Yes.
2. Posting schedule will vary by blog as follows:
Raindancing Dragons - http://lauraraindancer.blogspot.com - is my NaNoWriMo project. I’m not posting there at all now, but will post and update the poll daily in November.
Dragon Dreams - http://laurarainbowdragon.blogspot.com - is where I am posting my NaNo commentary. The posts here will likely get shorter in November, but they will be daily.
All My Avatars - http://slwrimos.blogspot.com - is a group story blog for Second Life citizens participating in NaNoWriMo. It’s brand new, so doesn’t have a regular posting schedule yet. Plus, the rules for this blog are that it must not interfere with NaNoWriMo. I’ll post there any day I have time (including during any periods of time I have set aside for writing during which the words for my own story just aren’t flowing).
The Polyphagous Dragon - http://polyphagousdragon.blogspot.com - is my recipe blog. It may not receive any new entries in November as I am not likely to be cooking anything fancy during NaNo.
Confessions of a Canine Cyber-Widow - http://princesskendal.blogspot.com - is my dog’s blog. I’m not sure how much time she’ll get at the computer to update her blog next month!
3. No.
4. 0
5. Yes.

Five or Six

Must waste no words on outside projects.
