Fast Food and Slow Starvation

Who is still going the pace with NaBloPoMo?

Added a post Nov 26 2007

Keeping kosher so far, and even starting to plan a few posts in advance! Writing a post is easy. Writing a GOOD post is the challenge. It's taken more time than I've thought. I'm finding that when ... Read More »

Where will you be posting your NaBloPoMo entries?

Let a Hundred Handbags Bloom

Visiting Siem Reap gave me a chance to catch up with Diana Saw of Bloom, who’s recently relocated from Phnom Penh. There are plenty of craft shops jostling for position in Cambodia, but only one…

I read that this is the second year. Do we know if members continued blogging after November 2006?

A blog a day for 30 days, it's a good challenge, I'd like to try it next year just for the fun of it.
