Lubricate That Blog

My pal Monty, over at The Daily Bitch, posted an entry that really challenged me. As always, she's on the cutting edge of something fun, or the slippery slope of something dangerous...

I don't know if you're aware of it, but we're (meaning everyone in Blogsville) in the heat of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Yeah, I tried to join last year, but writing something just because someone fires a starting shot really doesn't appeal to me. It doesn't inspire me. What really inspires me is wine. I'm one of those writers who needs a little mental/spiritual lubrication when I sit down to write, and I almost always sip on two or three glasses of wine when I'm up all night writing. I think that NaNoWriMo is a fine idea for some people (obviously, many people, judging from their numbers every November). I like the little word-count meter you get to put on your blog, but what's better, what's really up my alley is NaDruBloMo!

NaDruBloMo (National Drunken Blogging Month) is holding its first annual event, beginning, well, last Sunday, and I intend to do my part to see that it's a success. I'm not sure what night I'll be posting my entry here, but you'll know. It runs all month, so there's time. Feel free to join in the fun. Grab the badge, link back to Monty and be sure to leave her a comment when you've post your entry.

  1. NaDruBloMo - what a great idea. Is it worth it for the hangover I will certainly get? Hmmm.....Not sure.

  3. HAHAHAHA! What's funny is that I sooo thought of you when I was writing the post because I knew you would come up with something magnificent.
    Or maybe I think you're a wino. Whatever. :D

    (KEEEDEEEEN!!!)

    I think you're a fantastic writer and I would even read your NaNoWriMo entries. You can write better tipsy than most of the rest of us can write while sober.

  5. I started to take the challenge earlier after a miniature bottle of Chardonnay (love those lil' 4 packs). I guess I'm not the big girl I imagine. I fell asleep and didn't wake up for 4 hours...(hiccup!)
