I am glad Benjamin brought up the topic of more unified chain. Definitely gives it a proper blog-chain feel, and at least you know what you will be reading. Looking forward to it.

Dear Claire,
Will this list for those not participating in NaNo be asked by the previous poster? As it sounds more exciting that way, instead of creating a list we want. It can be something related to our own blog, as it is evident we all different and write about different things.

We decided it would be writer’s survival list this way those in NaNo make it relative to their goal/process and the rest of us can make it relative our own writing. So it's a sort of writers craft exercise but it is entirely up to each author how they want to proceed from there.

Thanks Claire. I'll see how it spans out.

I've jumped the gun just a little early. Truth is, it has been over a week since I updated my blog and I don't like to post back-to-back. The date on this is a tad misleading, because it gives the date I completed the first draft. Oh well.

Please pretend I posted this a few minutes after midnight tonight.

For the record, this is my third blog chain and am enjoying it immensely--not least because of the different posts I'm given every reason to check up on and enjoy.

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay...

In past chains, we've PM'd the person that is next to let them know what's going on in case they don't see the blog chain update that says 'hey you'. My PMs, for example go to my email inbox so then I know and can jump on it.

And here is my post : http://www.aimeelaine.com/?p=340

Ravencorinncarluk, you're up!

Ana,
Art Every Day idea sounds fabulous. Hope you are having fun.
It's fun, though my blog is already about engaging in art in every experience so it becomes an easier task to engage in, though the actual theme is great as It is encouraging every individual to put themselfs into expressing how they are feeling more each day, and that is really important. It is also fun to see and comment on new individuals blogs.

Can I ask a favour. If I can't think of a list, will someone (anyone) give me a list to do when it comes to my go? (Based through looking at my blog-and about who I am)

I'll post here, if I can't think of anything.

Thanks.
