My Goodness

As of this afternoon I still have more than 400 people to add to the NaBloPoMo links list. My god, do you people know what you're signing up for? Thirty days of anxiety, that's what. However, blessings be upon your heads, there are more prizes being offered! The singular Mason herself is offering both a copy of her book and a t-shirt with a four-letter word on it. Actually, it has three four-letter words on it, only one of which will make your grandma hit you with a spoon. And Deb of 60 bugs is offering a hand-embroidered tee. I have two of her t-shirts and I can vouch for their durability and exceeding craftiness. So post every day and you'll be entered to win! Void where prohibited; may contain traces of nuts.

Truth be told, I am feeling precariously close to unable to dig out from under this mountain of Internet and Actual Work I'm so behind on, and I am thinking of hiring an intern. A George, if you will. Actually, I think I'd have more fun with a Robert.

I SO just bought Maggie Mason's book in preparation for next month, ha! And I just realized that "next month" starts on Wednesday. Eek!

I just wanted to thank you for setting this up. I know it's turned into a pain in the ass - a fun pain in the ass, but a pain nonetheless. Anyway, I appreciate what you've done...and what you'll continue having to do.

(p.s. And I'm super happy about "Other" being added to your comment options)

Just left it down below, too...I'd like to kick in a prize if you need one. I've got a $75 Borders card rotting in my junk drawer.

I tried to find Maggie's book and it was gone from every freaking bookstore around. Even the library copy was gone with 5 reserves on it. Hopeless. I guess when you live in a blogging town, you have to be a bit more on the ball than I currently am.

I wanna be on the list, too! How the hell do I sign up? I've already generated a list o' topics and a few Official Seals, I'm takin' this so damned seriously...

Actually, there's another side to this whole NaBloPoMo thing: READING everyone ELSES blogcakes! This could turn into a major undertaking! I wonder if we can all get a sebatical (sp?) from work to just write and read all month

I don't think I was taking it very seriously until you mentioned the shirt that Maggie is going to offer and pretty much? That's all I want! I love that entirely inappropriate shirt. Of course, I'd have to wear it inside my bedroom because the kids can read. And I'd never be able to wear it to school because the other teachers might frown on that. Then, of course, there's banning it from wearing it to see Granny. But all the other times? I'd wear that shirt.

Your shirt, however, is fine to wear at all times. So, I do. Entirely appropriate - that's you, Mrs. Kennedy.

I will be out for a few hours, but I'm on the east coast, so maybe that won't matter to you. Drop me a line at sara at saraarts dot com if you need someone to just plug URLs into your list today or something equally mindless and delegable.

I'm mostly sure that I already gave you my URL. Are you going to remove participants as they notify you that they've missed a day? That would be tons of work for you, but it would be fun. Or will you just wait for the end of the month and ask for who posted every day?

Blogger The Other Girl said...

I signed up on the other list, but since you've added people who signed up after me, I think I just got skipped over somehow. The weird thing is that there's an empty space, for no apparent reason, on your list right where my blog's name would go. So possibly I am on the list, but invisibly. And if I miss any days next month, I am totally going to say that they're there, but you can't see them.
