Build a Blog Post Around a Special Event of the Month
Did you know…
…John Lennon was murdered December 8, 1980?
… the computer mouse was developed December 9, 1968?
… Emily Dickinson’s birthday was December 10, 1830? (a fact every poet should have memorized!)
Whenever your blog post idea bank runs dry, consider writing an article that focuses on a historic event, date, or special day.
I researched each month of the year and discovered several unusual celebrations for each:
January
Prune Breakfast Month
February
African-American History Month
Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month
March
Music in Our Schools Month
April
National Soft Pretzel Month
May
Correct Posture Month
June
National Soul Food Month
July
National Hot Dog Month
August
National Water Quality Month
September
National Piano Month
October
National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Month
National Toilet Tank Repair Month (could these two be related?)
November
National Stamp Collecting Month
December
Read a New Book Month
