| Ideas for Writers |
@EdieMelson
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. How many can you fine? Be sure to leave
your guess in the comment section at the end of the post.

Linda, thank you!!! I love using the calendar to map out my social media updates for the month. That's not all I use, but it's a great framework to build the month on. I also use previous year's lists to come up with article ideas. Thanks for stopping by, blessings, E
ReplyDeleteTo think I could've missed National Ferret Day! You totally saved the day, Edie. And what a boatload of fun this is--thanks for sharing!
