Month by Month Blog Post Ideas: Part 2 of 2

Welcome to Part 2 of 2 of Month by Month Blog Post Ideas.

Did you miss Part 1 of these Blog Tip? If so, just click here.

As I said in Part 1, you should always have a list of resources that can nudge your imagination.

Your resources should be topics you can go to time and again to mine for ideas when your imagination is on strike and/or your brain is tired.

One of these resources should be the Monthly Tie-In because every month of the year is special for something: holidays, retail sales of certain items, commemorative days, etc.

You can do a Google search of what a particular month is noted for or use my list that follows as a resource. Take my topics and add to them. There are many things about each month that's special and that "specialness" may also trigger a memory of an experience you had about that event.

Not on the list below are each month's birthstones, astrological signs, and flowers as well as books with subject matter that can tie in to special celebrations and events. The list below ranges from the whimsical to the comical to the profound. Most days have several "national whatevers" attached to them, and just about every day of each month is some national commemorative day.

Some dates change every year so look up the event for 2020 to find the specific date.
