… and aspiring ones, too!
This is my last post for this month, the National Blog Posting Month (NaBoPoMo!). Sadly, I missed two days (the 12th and the 15th), so I’m probably excluded from the little contest I was in. Ah, well… at least I gave it my best, and this month was probably my most prolific month ever. It was a lot of fun, except for those times that Christine got angry with me for tapping away while she was trying to sleep, simply because I almost forgot to post that day. I just get quite wrapped up in my own little hobbies and interests, not to mention commenting on other people’s blogs!
Even before my little NaBloPoMo adventure, I was thinking about my fellow blogger Sebastian and his partnership with his friend on the Enraged Amigos blog. I also thought of Britgirl and her former involvement with the Purple Women blog. I said to myself something along the lines of, “Why don’t I start up, or be involved with, something like that?”. I even thought of asking if I could join Enraged Amigos; well, I figured I’d fit in with those two guys! I decided not to, though… didn’t want to seem intrusive.
Of course, I’m talking about starting up a group blog. It can be about anything in general, really; my interests are open1 and varied, as you can see in my blog tags and history. I’m thinking of asking a few individuals, people I have in mind, if they want to consider such a venture. Right now, though, I want to see if whoever reads this would like to comment and possibly throw their hat in the ring, so to speak! If this starts to take some kind of form and substance, I’m willing to work on any ground rules that need to be set. (Hey, you gotta have some kind of control in place, ya know?)
So… what do all of my friends (and even family!), fellow bloggers and readers think?
1 When I say “open”, I dont mean wide open; no involvement in porn or smutty stuff!
(Update 12/01/07: In honor of NaBloPoMo, and since I want to keep this post at the top for a bit, I’ll rest from blogging for today. Next post will be on the evening of 12/02/07. Thanks to all!)
That’s a great idea Chris, and it can be very rewarding. It’s great to have someone else who is willing to contribute and help you build the blog, rather than running a one man show. It also leads to greater variety in content and opinion.
Does your wife blog? Perhaps you can convince her to blog along with you. SpaceKitty makes posts to my blog whenever she plays a new game that she wants to write about, and sharing in something creative gives us something to do together. We tend to enjoy when the content from our sites overlap, she makes posts on my site and I link to her skins and make wallpapers out of her art.
Thanks Rirath! That would be a good idea, but even Christine would tell you that she’s usually too lazy to blog. She has a MySpace account and rarely ever uses the blog feature on it. I gave her a user ID and password here, but the times where she needed to write about something, she always had me write it for her, in her own words. I guess I’m good at playing secretary, eh?
I’m still thinking of other ideas, one in particular. Hmmmmmm…
