I find you don't get many visitors from those really big challenges or hops. I'm doing it more for my own entertainment and to find new communities to participate in.<br /><br />I want to spend my time visiting and commenting, so I need to pre-write as much as possible. Of course to complicate things, I went and signed up for a February daily writing challenge too. I'm going back to work March 4 (I'm on mat leave right now) and there's no way I can handle writing daily posts and visit everyone at the same time.

Last year I had a theme, which helped enormously, and I scheduled as many as I could in advance. And I kept 'em short.

I find it's a lot easier if I stay with a theme, which I'm going to try and do this year. J.L.

Some bloggers I may have visited only once, but if it was a theme I really liked I made sure to go back almost every day. It's fun AND stressful, but it's a good stress, I think! My theme this year will involve audience help to create a story throughout the month. So I can't preplan, but I think my posts will be fairly quick to write, and won't involve any research. Good luck, I think it's worth giving it a go and seeing what happens!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83528601653366510.post-59944455293072051572013-01-17T10:14:58.588-05:002013-01-17T10:14:58.588-05:00I simply know I can't commit that amount of ti...I simply know I can't commit that amount of time an energy, but I certainly admire those who participate!Barbara Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547166495514562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83528601653366510.post-11003209656371450482013-01-17T08:19:32.794-05:002013-01-17T08:19:32.794-05:00I've never participated, but I admire your amb...I've never participated, but I admire your ambition, Sara.

That's how I did it last year, and I can't imagine having the time to do it any other way.<br /><br />BUT, you don't HAVE to visit all of the blogs. There are just too many of them. If you decide to visit X number of new blogs a day, it'd be a lot less stressful. Or, heck, forget about setting a quota at all; just do what you can do, and have fun with it.<br /><br />Crud.

I had nothing prepared and signed up at the very last minute. The only thing I had was a theme and I think that is what saved me. But I was up every night until way past midnight getting my post ready for the next day and visiting other blogs...It. Was. Crazy. But I'm SOOOOO glad I did it. I met some many amazing people, everyone was so supportive and I wrote some crazy stuff that really opened up the creativity valves. This year I'm going to do it again, BUT I want to be a little more prepared, so if you can pre write your posts, do it. And I know you have TONS to share with us. But if your nervous, think of a theme and have some kind of game plan and the rest will be crazy awesome.
