It’s time for 31 Days!
Every October, The Nester hosts a mega link-up for bloggers worldwide who are slightly out of their mind or maybe just a little overambitious — namely, those who decide to write 31 blog posts in 31 days.
Last year was my first time joining in, and I wrote on Defining Home in 31 Days. Those posts can be found here.
This year I’m adding a new twist.
As the new host of Lisa-Jo Baker’s Five Minute Friday, I’m issuing a challenge to writers to write 31 blog posts, five minutes at a time.
It’s like a month-long Five Minute Friday!
Those who are playing along will link up on a different page on September 30th so we can visit their blogs throughout October and share some comment love.
Participants of the 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes have the option to choose their own theme, use the prompts I’ve listed below, or some combination of the two.
This year I’ll be writing each of my posts in five minutes on the theme:
