As a reader I’m not a big fan of x365, but I imagine it’s a great practice for some writers but the worst for others. My theory: it’s too intellectual for anyone who battles with their inner critic, but great practice for writers who are meandering and wordy or too inside their own voice. I like doing Natalie Goldberg’s Morning Pages routine to tap into free uncritical brain space.

What an intriguing idea. I think you would excel at this exercise, Ms. K.

I have always loved the 365 idea, and think it would be a fantastic daily writing exercise for anyone, anywhere.

(Oh, and I started my site for the same reason. Over 4! years ago. Crazy, that. I do definitely feel happiest writing online when I’m being the most authentically me, and oftentimes that means less documenting, more free for all completely random writing.)

I’m kind of feeling the same way. Documenting things kind of gets boring, for me. So instead I make shit up. Like when I told people I got called on stage with Joel McHale.

Which was a bad idea because everyone believed me. Even though I wrote “none of this happened.”

I followed the link but I’m still trying to grasp what 365 is.

Only 365? I interact with that many in January- and that is a slow month! I’d like to tey- not, pnly because most folks canbore you to death rather than excite or inspire you and the one’s that do- well, 40 words is short changing them by a mile!

P.S. I could Never insult you to your cats- a- they would never believe me and b- I’d get scratched and bitten for my trouble!

I truly have a committment problem. Maybe this problem has something (everything) to do with why my writing is so half-assed and I only twitter about deep thoughts such as Strawberry Fanta.

URGH! The 365 Project! I came across it a few months ago and actually went as far as to make a list of people. I think I got close to 200 without too much trouble.
I agree with you on blog topics and meaningful writing. I feel like all I say is “the baby didn’t sleep!” “I’m tired” “Oooohh Coffee!!” and other meaningless piffle.
I think I might get going on the 365 project, such a big undertaking and commitment, but hey, I joined a gym back in July and I do go a few times a week -usually. I guess this is next?

If I have to interact with 365 people in a year, it’s a bad year.

I was a new reader when you wrote the Bygones post and I haven’t stopped reading yet.

x365 reminds me of a book where individuals submitted their memoir – in 6 words. 6 words! I believe it’s called ‘Not Quite What I Was Planning’. My family and I spent an entire weekend trying to come up with our own 6 word memoirs. What an exercise.

loved the bygones post. i found it a bit interesting/kind of shocking that someone i read not only lives in the same city i do, but referenced the city i went to college in. talk about a small world…

I too have watched Schmutzie from afar as she completed her x365. Eventually I came out of my stalker seat and told her she was doing an amazing job. I’d love to read yours!

I intend to read whatever you write. I just checked out Bygones and- just wow.

I’d love to read your 365… but I’m with Anna, we love it when you have more than 40 words, because you have many bloggable moments :o)

That’s a great idea to write about such small tidbits about people. I might steal it!!

What does it say about me that I was riveted by the account of your refrigerator contents?

But I know what you mean. I seem to do a lot of writing about my ineffectual parenting. It amuses me – but I didn’t necessarily start my blog with the idea of trying to be a comedian (frankly – I’m just not funny enough). But I have so many fears about trying to be serious in my writing. Namely that no one (with maybe the exception of Mom) will read it. I think I should be more of a risk taker – especially on my own blog!

Whatever you do, I’m sure I’ll find it interesting. Because it IS all about me and my entertainment, right? RIGHT?!

I’m working on a longer post right now.

I’m a Schmutzie/Palinode stalker as well.

I wrote a couple 365s but of course I can’t even keep up with my “song of the day” posts although I love them. And my attempt at a “365″ on flickr failed miserably.

How about 182 1/2 for starters? ;) Also, November = NABLOPOMO. Sigh.

As long as we don’t miss out on any of the kitties, boys or fridge pics…well then run with it! ;-)
