It’s time again for
Calendar Days. These are just fun to read. They’re also a great way to
jumpstart our creativity when looking for ideas for articles and blog posts.
They’re also a fun writing prompt idea.
In addition, calendar
days are great conversation starters for social media sites like Facebook and
Twitter. This month is especially fun for writers because of all the writing/reading related holidays:
It's National Poetry Month & the first week is National Library Week.

not holding my breath, as there is much on my plate already, BUT i (finally) have a theme / manifest for my blog—Stories by Design. i've hosted interviews for over a year now, and recently added guest posts. it's time to (ahem) start posting my own posts again; fell out of the habit somewhere late last year...
ReplyDeletefound some themes from your list that go well with my theme!
as always, thanks, Edie, for a great source of information!!
I couldn't help but notice that over half of the days this month have to do with writing. Hmmm. National Chocolate Mousse Day sounds good to me.
DeleteI wonder who comes up with these anyway.....
Robin, that's awesome!!!! Blessings, E
DeleteEllen, I know, it's cool isn't it! Actually there's a process to have a day designated as a holiday. It's not as hard as you might think, Blessings, E
DeleteMy birthday is in this month. Of all things, it's on National ex-spouse day.
ReplyDeleteCarole, too funny! Blessings and Happy Birthday! E
DeleteApril is also autism awareness month. I see you got April 2. Thanks for all the cool days.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm adding that! Blessings, E
DeleteThis is hilarious, Edie. I'm excited it's National Celery Month ... but I can't believe I missed Children's Book Day, on April 2. :) :(
