Hello, duckies! (It's raining here, so it just seems appropriate, ya know?) Today over at I'm Not Hannah, I posted one of my favorite poems ("Sestina" by Elizabeth Bishop) plus a few quick paragraphs about it. This is always one of my go-to "I can't think of a post" post-generators. It isn't always a poem, of course. I could write about a favorite book, television show, celebrity...the list goes on. The great thing about this kind of post is that it draws your readers in...it teaches them something about you and offers a way for them to connect with you. Yay, connection!
I've been thrilled with the responses we've gotten so for for NaBloWriMo. Once again, it appears we've got a great mix of bloggers. I'm looking forward to writing with you in--gulp--six days. If you haven't already, please grab a button (and let me know if you need a different color, mkay?) and use it on your blog. Spread the word! Huzzah! UPDATED TO ADD: It seems a few folks aren't on the list who thought they were. Please check the sidebar and if your blog isn't showing up, let me know. Just putting the button on your own blog doesn't register you--I have to add you via a comment or an email to nothannah @ comsouth.net. *Note to self: make registering easier next year...Thanks, y'all.
(It's possible I've had too much chai this morning...)

Looking forward to October.
I'm participating but don't see my blog listed in the sidebar. Did I miss the sign up somewhere?
Sounds like it's going to be fun.

Hey, Alex...I don't know how I missed you. I'll add you right now!
Mason, I think so, too.
What I think I'm going to do for posts on days when I don't have them is collect up links to other people's posts (I have a cooking blog, so poems aren't exactly on-topic, though I post a lot of poetry at my personal blog). Then when I'm short a post, I'll write up a few of those as link recommendations.
(My blog isn't on the sidebar list, either. I hope I registered correctly. My blog isn't on Blogger, but I do have a Blogger profile. The blog, though, is The Mom Food Project, http://www.momfoodproject.com ). Thanks!
