Over halfway through my NaBloPoMo

18 July 2008 2 Comments

Did anybody notice that I’ve been posting awfully regularly here recently? I’ve certainly noticed and I’m more than a little proud of myself that we’re well past the halfway point of July, my personal NaBloPoMo month, and so far I have kept my goal of posting every day for a month.

The interesting thing is that posting more regularly at this blog has been an awful lot of fun. I love writing about fiction writing, and I love the fact that writing this blog makes sure I do it more often. I enjoy that keeping this blog going makes sure that I keep up-to-date with events in the books and publishing world, too, because it’s all too easy to slip back into my own little land but if I want to get published some day, I need to know more about what’s going on out there.

And the loveliest thing of all is that in the last few months I’ve been gathering a few more regular readers and even better, some of these lovely readers have been commenting. It’s great to get some feedback and to know that there are real people out there following my attempts to become a fiction writer.

On that note … are there any lurking readers out there who haven’t introduced themselves to me yet? I’d love to hear from readers in the comments here. Please?!

    I think I may have commented once before recently- but I guess I am still a bit of a lurker! Hi, I am Lulu and I read your blog!

    Oh and I often start books but never finish them. I love reading- but don`t believe in reading anything that is just going to bore me unless I have to!

    To do NaBloPoMo is on my list of things to do in 1001 days- Best of luck with it! I need to wait til I get a bit more organized before I give it ago I think! I might need to wait until I go back to Japan because I seem to have a lot more interesting stuff to write about when I am there!

    Hi Lulu, yep I’d classify you as a semi-lurker, thanks for commenting! Good luck when you get on to NaBloPoMo too. I’m surprised that it’s been relatively easy so far (but that’s a dangerous statement I think!). Are you planning to head back to Japan? Ah, I’m so jealous …
