I finished NaBloPoMo yesterday and went over to Twitter. I remembered how much I liked it. I tweeted a bit. People tweeted me back. Pretty soon I was loving it and stayed way longer than I intended. I linked up my final NaBlo….(oh I can’t even be bothered to type it any more) and for the first time this month I clicked on a link from another blogger rising to the challenge. For.The.First.Time. How rude! Here I am, blithely linking up my posts and not visiting anyone in return.
So apparently there is another ‘blog-a-post-a-day’ thingy starting in December. Well not for me. I am going back to twitter, enjoying the chat. But here is my December challenge: for every one of the 31 days of December I will visit a new blog. I will find blogs I have never been to, or heard of, or maybe have, but am not a regular, and I will read them. And comment if the will takes me. And write about it here.
Will I write a post a day? Not on your Nelly! But will I put a link to a blog I have discovered each day when I do post? Oh yes, you know it! I am gonna discover new blogs! *Does an excited little dance*.
If I do find you and link up, I will let you know (via my long-lost friend Twitter) and it would be lovely if you can come over and say hi. But you don’t have to. This is not a meme, and you are not obliged.
So today I have visited Close to the Green who has written about how selfish her children are. Hellllloooo?! Children are selfish? Do you not understand how much rubbish and boredom we have to put up with whilst you Mummies chat, or clean, or chat, or cook, or chat, or wash, and all the other dull stuff you do? Give us kids a break already!! 😉
Yep, I broke the rule and I am not having a day off . What of it?? 😉 If anyone wants to give it a whirl I will be creating a badge so feel free to use it. There is no linky, just a commitment to finding new blogs – by which I mean new to you, not new-new (although they can be).
If anyone needs me I’ll be around somewhere, reading some blog I happened upon….
This is a great idea, I will try to find a few new blogs also, but may or not blog about it. Having been feeling a bit blah about everything these days, so can’t really commit, just in case it becomes one more thing to feel guilty about. 🙂
I agree! I feel exactly the same. But I am going to find 31 new blogs. I may not post about them every day, but I’ll keep a note and mention them whenever I do post. Hope you get your mojo back soon 🙂
Thanks Shelly, let me know if you find anything good on your side of the world. Always love to read your peers!
ooo I’m off to take a peek! Try UpYoursGinaFord some time 🙂 http://upyoursginaford.wordpress.com/
of course if it’s a new blog you want you know where to look 😉 heh
found it and love it! Thanks for the tip
Great idea! I will read with interest, and I promise to dig out some new ones myself, too.
Let me know if you find anything really good and I’ll go and award them my badge. Or you can?
GOOD IDEA!
Yes, that one, brilliant.
After a month of blogging I haven’t looked up to see who else is out there.
And yes, I may have accidently blogged today as well. *slaps wrist*
I have made the badge now so get awarding some love to your new finds (and keep me posted – i really need some more blogs to fill my time;) Good tho innit?
I think I’m still recovering from the NaBlahBlahBlah experience! And I didn’t even make it the whole month. I just couldn’t do that and everything else. So, no, I won’t be joining another!!!
Nice to meet you. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and following. I have enjoyed going through yours as well. Love your writing style. You are very interesting and clever. I will definitely be coming back.
What a lovely comment! Thank you very much and I look forward to keeping in touch 🙂
As they have already said – What a fabulous idea! I’m always looking for new blogs and have gone a little bit email subscribe crazy these past few days, so looking forward to having 31 more blogs to add to them! A new kind of advent, brilliant 🙂
Ooooh that’s a lovely idea. Well done on the Namoblopo
Have given you the liebster award. Hope you haven’t had it already.
What a fantastic idea! I will be following closely 🙂
This is a great idea. I only did NaNo-whatsit for nine days in the end (pathetic I know) but found it quite isolating. I definitely need to read more blogs – there are so many good ones about – so may well take a leaf out of your book.
And, of course, you are welcome to visit me and my blog anytime!
Twitter is a wonderful little hub, isn’t it? In fact, it’s how I just stumbled across your blog! I love this idea and will give it a go myself (in between Christmas parties, present buying, wrapping, working, rent inspections…gaaa!) 😉
