March's crazy holidays & special occasions - idea starters for #blogging & articles - via @EdieMelson (Click to Tweet)
Many of you
contacted me and requested I bring it back as a regular part of this blog. I
thought it would be a fun addition, so I'm adding it back into the regular schedule.
Using the
calendar for blog post or even article ideas is a great way to jumpstart your
creativity. It's also a fun writing prompt idea.
Calendar days are
also great conversation starters for social media sites like Facebook and
Twitter, especially when two contrasting holidays fall on the same date. Here
are some that tickled my funny bone this month:
- March 5th is designated as Multiple Personality Day AND Unique Names Day (just think about it for minute).
- March 8th is Proofreading day—every writer should celebrate that!
- March 20th is International Earth Day and also Extraterrestrial Abductions Day.
The Month of
March is designated as:
- National Cheerleading Safety Month
- Irish American Month
- Music in Our Schools Month
- National Craft Month
- National Frozen Food Month
- National Irish American Heritage Month- designated by Congress in 1995.
- National Nutrition Month
- National Peanut Month
- National Women's History Month
- Red Cross Month
- Social Workers Month
The 2nd week
of March is:
- National Bubble Week
- Crochet Week
DAILY
