Seasonal blogs can have a role in your Blog2Book; after all, the target of 52 posts means one per week, and it could make sense to split up the book by “season” or theme. This is an especially good idea if you want readers to use your book as a tool they will pick up and think about each week, or during specific seasons.
If you’re looking at a seasonally focused book, consider these seasonal prompts:
New Years
Celebrations
Resolutions
Reflection on the past year
Visioning the future
Winter/cold
Snow days
Groundhog Day
Valentine’s Day
Relationships
Love
Presidents’ Day
St. Patrick’s Day
Luck
Mardi Gras
Spring
Easter
Graduations
Memorial Day
Mothers/Fathers Day
Summer
Summer break
Independence Day
Patriotism
Vacations
Weddings/Anniversaries
Labor Day
Back to School
Fall
Halloween
Scary stories
All Saints’ Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas
Holidays
Gifts
Almost any special day can serve as a prompt for an upcoming blog post. Go to NationalDayCalendar.com to find unusual days you might want to celebrate or use as a fun or intriguing post; whether it’s National Prosecco Day, National Garage Sale Day, or National Left-Handers Day, it could prove a stronger starting point than you expect for a blog post or book chapter.
Activity: Use the above list as prompts for writing sprints to keep your writing muscles exercised, and to provide you with content for your blog and your Blog2Book.
