RULES! PRIZES!
You might want to stop by the NaBloPoMo page as it has been updated with new participants, a RULE, and PRIZES! My disorder is now full-blown and sprouting new symptoms daily, including a Cafe Press shop for BloMo swag. Apologies to the anti-gun lobby but, as someone rightly pointed out, until George Lucas starts returning my calls there will be no Yoda t-shirts. Other suggestions will be seriously considered, though. The stupider the better.
I would also like to point your way toward two other blogs this sunny (where I am) afternoon:
Elizabeth has almost all of her November posts planned out in advance and is holding a sub-BloMo contest for suggestions for five days' topics, the prize for which is plugging your blog on her blog.
You heard me right.
I can't tell you how happy I am that this is bringing out the OCD in someone other than me.
Secondly, go see Erin. Always fearsome with the words, this post makes me want to encourage her to finally write the wholesome and delightful children's book I know is brewing inside her . . . cauldron.
EDITIED TO ADD: Please write out your full url in the comments if you want to be added to the list, that extra step of going to your profile page the figure out where you blog is starting to kill me. Thank you.

This is so great. I can't wait for November to start.
I'm participating in NaBloPoMo too! Can you ad my link to the page??
This is going to be so much fun! Yay! I can't wait!
I'm with jag...I'm IN and would love to be on the "participating" list. Thanks!
I've decided to participate. {pauses, catches breath}
I've been thinking about this for the past few days weighing the pros and cons, but now that I've decided to do so, I am pretty psyched.
Your page raises some very good points as to why this could be beneficial towards becoming a better blogger.
Whoa, Elizabeth. I only have 12 drafts in place this early in the game. However, I've been posting every day already, without using the ideas I have for November. It's already working, Mrs. K. Thank you for this great idea and for being the inspiration for so many of the bloggers whom I regularly read!
Except there was a lot of yelling around the house today.
You mean people actually plan their blog posts ahead of time? Whoa. I never even thought of doing that, I just wing it. Now I'll have to go all OCD on my blog's ass (can I say ass here? Sorry)
You're so awesome. The book is on, seeing as how I firmly believe that tax prep should be taught in all full-day kindergarten classes. Minus itemization, of course. That's just crazy talk.
Please add me to the NaBloPoMo participants' list. I even wrote a post about it! Yay!

Rules and Prizes?!?!
This keeps getting better and better!
Hey, I signed up with my LiveJournal account to be a part of NaBloPoMo'06.
http://stykywycket.livejournal.com
I'm so excited!
I'm definitely in! Please add me to the list.
Can I still sign up for this?
I'm in too!!
Can you add me to the participants?
http://lessofpaige.wordpress.com
Thanks- now I just have to figure out how to get a icon-y thing up on my blog!!
THIS IS SO COOL! I'm already signed up, but just thinking about November has me wishing I could do a little "hooray for my blog" dance at work.
This is pure brilliance M. Kennedy. BRILLIANCE!
I'm participating (and it's likely to be interesting with a birth due in November and Thanksgiving - we'll see). Would you add me to the list?

http://www.thesmocklady.com
i'm in. i've been slacking lately and this is just the incentive i need to get back to it.
http://aarin.blogspot.com/
I am feeling the spirit. I will do it. Who knows, I may finally use the future publish feature in typepad. Wouldn't that be a hoot? Is that kosher by the way? Is the experiment to actually write something everyday or could you write posts in bursts and spread them out over a few days? (First of all, the likelihood of that actually happening is so remote I can't even believe I am asking but, you know, just trying to play by the rules).
http://www.letterb.com
Ooo! Can I play too!?! This will be great! www.mappyb.blogs.com
is this where I submit my page? This is totally the bump in the head helenjane.com needs. I'm hereby submitted.
I'm in like Flynn. Yee haw.
I'm in.
Okay, sounds good - just the motivation I need!
Wheee! The rules and prizes make my random rambling even more wonderful.
I'm so excited for November, I've even started early - come check out my October calendar in my blog. *is proud* :D

I must be freaking crazy. This and NaNoWriMo, but i am psyched.
It is exactly the way to avoid the debilitating depression of last winter.
Thanks
weird: my original sign-me-up post is no more!
But once again with the commitment ('cause that's how much I mean it): www.xanga.com/nadarine
Fussy, Because I'm crazy! Sign me up! Doing this with NaNoWriMo will make me completely insane, I must do it! Great idea!
http://reebeckisupergirl.blogspot.com
please sign me up but I'll be participating as my alter ego. Heres my link
www.hundredandonethings.blogspot.com
ok, I've tried to resist, but I guess I'll be like all the cool kids. (I think it was the addition of a prize.)
www.mrscpa.typepad.com
P.S. If you would like for me to add all of the participants to a blogroll so the blog names are shown and it can be in aplhabetical order, I would be happy to do so.
Oh, so this is what crafy chicks feel like when there's a craft fair...wicked!
Sign my crafty ass up!

I don't know about all my November posts planned out in advance, but I have been scribbling post topic ideas on little scraps of paper which are floating around at the office, at the home computer, by the bed, in the kitchen and by the TV. I get lots of ideas while watching TV. The only snag is that I've already been dipping into them this month.
You're Doing It Wrong
I'm definitely in. I thought I already commented but I guess my computer ate it.
This is very exciting! A chance to run my mouth. Now we'll see if actually happens :)

This makes me a littl nervous, but why the hell not try something different. This will give me motivation to get back in the swing of things. I've been a bad blogger lately. Sign me up please!
http://cheeka-beeka.blogspot.com
Okay. I guess I really AM in, because I checked the participants' list three times and couldn't find my name, which left me feeling deflated. (I didn't make the list. Guess I'm not going to be a cheerleader after all.)
Most likely, this is because I failed to read the rules properly the first time, and didn't include my blog url. Although now that I think about it, this could be a purposeful exclusion because my blog has the least clever name on your list. It's also not especially popular. Or even well-written.
Good Lord. Deep-seated insecurity emerges before the competition even kicks off! This is a bad sign.
Here goes nothing:

NaBloPoMo? Yay! Whee! Waahoo! (and of course, the obligatory) What the hell am I thinking??
Okay, I'm in.
