A post a day in May!
Thanks everyone for the attagirls and pledges of support concerning the Orphan Works issue. It felt great to put that out there and get such a great response, both in the comments section and my inbox. Y'all rock.
Now I'm going to transform that boost of energy into a scheme to rev up my creative mojo! I'm going to do a Post a Day in May! (and it even rhymes!) I tried valiantly last November to participate in NoBloPoMo but got as far as the 17th and realized it was one of the worst ideas ever to attempt that in November. But while I was able to keep with it I really loved the pace and rhythm that happened. It got those creative juices flowing and removed the angst of what to post since there would be another one the next day. Plus, I guess I'm a deadline-driven kinda gal anyways. So... May seems like a doable month for me now that I'm beyond the major kid-wrangling years. No science fair projects or ballet recitals to deal with! (hmmm maybe that's why I have the itch to commit to this)
So I'm not even going to scrounge a jpeg to throw onto the top of this post, I'll set my sights on tomorrow!
Hey, if you want to join in, feel free! Maybe I'll do a little graphic thingie and a sidebar list just for that. Let me know in a comment and I'll see what I can put together. In fact, I will definitely do a graphic, and hopefully post it this afternoon! Wait, its a post a day, not two... is that legal?
So. A post a day in May. Okay?
Cheers,
Jenny
Sounds like fun! I'd love to join in! I can't wait to see all your fabulous posts!

Hey, I'd like to participate! I need the inspiration too, and I think I operate better when I keep up with my blog on a daily basis.

oh I love it that you'll be blogging daily - it's a favorite stop of mine. So, I'll join in too I think. Thanks for your blog!

I'm in. Blogging has been a pretty low priority the last month. I've been lucky if I post once a week. This might be the motivation I need to jump start all my creative juices.

Sign me up! I have been meaning to kick myself in the posting on my blog butt!

Me too, me too! I've been trying, but a little cameraderie will keep me going. A fun graphic doesn't hurt either :)

I'm in :) I failed NoBloPoMo after 3 weeks. It was just too hard to keep up in November with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up.

I think I might just try this! Thanks for the inspiration.

I need inspiration and this should keep the juices flowing. I am all in.

Thanks for the inspiration! My husband is serving overseas with the military, and I know how much he'd love to come home and have a record of our memories from day to day! I've been a reader of your blog for quite some time and am so thrilled to be able to read a post a day in may.
All the best,

Oooh I'm looking forward to seeing your daily posts.
I might even go for a post a day too. I am doing a photo-a-day (for a whole year - 366 days eeeeek) this year and really enoying it, so perhaps this will be fun too.
If you do create the icon, please do let me know and give me the code.

Oh no, it's already the 2nd here, so I've missed a day if I try to join. Although, I could do that sneaky backdating entries thing & pretend I started on the first.

Was wondering if you ever made a decision about the little bear story. I submitted one and look at your site every day to see "what's up"
Posted by: Linda Lockridge | May 02, 2008 at 09:34 AM
