NaBloPoMo Observation #1

by

Two posts in and I’m noticing that the word minimum isn’t a problem. It’s the desire to fill out a blog post into a longer essay that really starts to suck up the time. I’m caught between the goal of “just post”, but don’t want to have a post be a fleeting tweet.

Technichally a blog post can be anything. Even a short tweet like post of just a few words. But I do enough of that on Twitter, and other social media. I guess that’s part of this excercise in blogging is doing, finding out what I want to do with my blog. I have a special media project down the road tha I’m building up this posting discipline for, but even then its focus will be narrow enough that I’ll be stil posting here, so I guess that’ll be something I focus on as the month goes on.

Of special note: I just clipped this post off here, as what would have been the next few paragraphs would be better served as a separate post.

See, I’m learning something already!

  1. Yeah for figure stuff out.
    And you’ll be able to go and have look when you are done.

  2. I don’t have any social media accounts, so some of my blog posts are short. I like the flexibility of having your own blog—the posts can be whatever you want them to be. For NaBloPoMo, I generally have more short posts than normal, though. Often, I write something longer for the blog, and then I come in later and cut half of it.

  3. I tend toward the long-winded, so I find it very challenging to be brief in November. It’s a good discipline, not that I stick to it.
