Day 30: Assorted sentences from the finish line

Posted July 1st 2010 @ 9:45 pm by Morgan

This post is just an account of day 30. It wasn’t intended to be a reflection on the whole June blogging challenge, but sometimes it does this anyway.

The idea for this final round up post is three-fold: being comprehensive while maintaining simplicity and laziness. I’m posting a snippet, a single sentence, from every single participating blog’s day 30 post. Sometimes the sentence is representative of the entire post, sometimes it definitely is not, but it just grabbed my attention.
If I’ve missed anyone’s day 30 post, please let me know and I’ll edit the post.

4. We have a very good number of readers, but very few commentators, esp. from within the NLA (are people afraid to comment? or are the posts not discussionable?)

Although I’m ready for new adventures in new libraries in new places, I will always have the fondest memories of working with the wonderful group of people at “Parl” :)

Today is the last day of the #blogeverydayofjune challenge, thank YOU for all sharing and of all the posts, I remember these – [Hoi then lists 25 memories from the blogging challenge. Very succinct and well done]
Librarian with different hats

like suelibrarian, i found that by forcing myself to write during this month of june, sometimes a decent blog entry would result, and other times i’d be struggling to write anything substantional at all.

I’ve been constantly thinking about blogs, blogging, libraries, librarians to the point that all my (non-librarian) friends know about #blogeverydayofjune and now ask me “how’s your blog?” with genuine interest!

the #blogeverydayinjune challenge – has been a real challenge for me, I have had to practice getting out of my comfort zone.

This challenge has given me a hunger for more and I want to:

Then last night via Twitter came this inspiring TED talk by Ellen Dunham-Jones about retrofitting suburbia, especially repurposing car parks, shopping malls and “big box” suburban stores for a better future.

However, it’s my birthday so I’m not going to stress about that anymore, at least until tomorrow.

The amount of hostility that arose from librarians about not having their own space, their own paperwork, their own ‘stuff’ was fascinating.

We are all complete people and posting everyday can mean having to blur the professional and the personal lines and letting go of self imposed rules.

The month was a challenge, and i did not achieve the goal of ‘every day’, however i participated, cleaned up the blog and began writing/sharing again.

All up, I have now been to 18 consecutive filmfests which still means I’m something of a young’un with the crowd I was with on Saturday night

So I was a little surprised that despite the heart wrenching beginning that I actually found myself being drawn into the story. [discussing The graveyard book / Neil Gaiman ; illustrated by Dave McKean]

I’ve been busier this month with blogging, but haven’t really had that reflective time, which I have missed.

It may have been delayed panic from nearly missing the interview when Google Maps and my iPad conspired to send me to the wrong address for the ABC studio – about 10 minutes away.

Con’s challenge came at a perfect time, and I thought that trying to blog every day for a month was a pretty good way to test whether I actually have the energy and drive to continue blogging at all.

There is an authenticity and frankness in the posts that I for one appreciate and it is one of the main canons of blogging and participating in social networking: be authentic use your own voice.

Maybe we can do this again next June.
Ruminations

I’ve learned about the myriad of e-readers that people are using and their respective advantages and disadvantages; what people are reading and planning to read according to the piles of books beside their bed; people’s bookshelves; people’s cats, dogs, and chooks and people’s big and little people in their lives.

    I just remembered: that was the only haiku all month inspired by events in a library. Even better!
