Blogtember

Back in May, I semi-participated in Jenni's "Blog a day in May". Not only did this activity inspire me to write on topics I would have never thought of on my own, but it also got me writing more frequently.

I was so excited to see that Jenni is hosting a similar challenge this September, Blogtember. This time you don't blog each day, only during the week. I'm really hoping to stick with this (and also  #fmsphotoaday in September on Instagram) and write on each of her prompts. Who else is in?!

Here are the prompts from Jenni's site:


Tuesday, Sept. 3Describe where or what you come from. The people, the places, and/or the factors that make up who you are.


Wednesday, September 4If you could take three months off from your current life and do anything in the world, what would you do? (bonus points for fun photos from Pinterest, but don't forget to cite the source!)


Thursday, September 5Pass on some useful advice or information you learned and always remembered. 


Friday, September 6A story about a time you were very afraid.


Monday, September 9Take this short personality test and respond to your results. (at the end, find the detailed profile of your personality account - click "click to view" under "You" and "self awareness and personal growth." You can even google your type and find more info on it!)


Tuesday, September 10Describe a distinct moment when your life took a turn.


Wednesday, September 11Share links to your favorite online shops, preferably with a few photos of your favorite items in each shop.


Thursday, September 12Discuss ways that blogging or social media has changed you.


Friday, September 13A self portrait


Monday, September 16Write a public love letter to someone in your life. (It doesn't necessarily need to be romantic.)


Tuesday, September 17A memory you would love to relive.




Thursday, September 19Creative writing day: write a (very short) fictional story that starts with this sentence: "To say I was dreading the dinner party would be the understatement of the century."
The story does not necessarily need to have a conclusion - you can leave your readers wishing for more!


Friday, September 20React to this term: comfort. 


Monday, September 23A "life lately" post. What you're up to, how you're feeling, how you're doing on your goals, etc. Bonus points for great photos!


Tuesday, September 24Review a book, place, or product.


Wednesday, September 25Write about a time you screwed up - a mistake you made. 


Thursday, September 26Go to a coffee shop. Order a favorite drink. Write about what makes you happy and what makes you sad. Or write about anything you'd like! Bonus points for including a photo from the coffee shop. (I recommend downloadingOmmwriter and bringing headphones along!) *if you can't make it to a coffee shop, at least leave your usual space and write someplace new.


Friday, September 27An anonymous letter to your Facebook friends. Be as snarky as you'd like. (but don't include people's real names.) 


Monday, September 30Share a photo of something old. Maybe something that has personal history for you, that was passed down to you, and that has special meaning to you. Tell us about it and why it's special.
