January Blogathon Calendar

January Blogathon kowthas

A Blogathon to stretch those muscles and get sharp after a month of holidaying and partying! Getting back to basics and working hard to get our writing back in form and shape. Yeah?

I will be hosting a month long blog-a-thon, starting January 1st through 31st 2016 on this blog. I have a blogging calendar complete with daily prompts up, which is already up, and if you scroll below, you will see it split into 4.5 weeks.

Check them out. Some are demanding, some give you a lot of freedom and some will make you reflect.

Becoming better writers/bloggers also means to tap into your conscience and articulating your feeling, expressions, experiences and emotions in a way that the reader sees what YOU see. Just like with anything else, the more you do something, the more you get better at it. There is no judgment, no competition, no accountability to anyone but you, no keeping tabs and no scrutiny.

It’s YOU against the blogger that you were the day before.

At the end of the 30day sprint, you will be tired but exhilarated. Your creative output, vocabulary and the range at which you will be able to express yourself will have improved tremendously, I hope. Time management, presentation skills, the art of SEO, and the community that you will build will ensure you make the best of your hard work and perseverance.

Game?

Like what you read?

Sign up below. Just comment saying you are in. You stay on top of the prompts and you write and then you come back here every day and link up. Linky will be up on January 1st.  Linky isnt working, so let’s just use Comment Luv and post a comment and that should work. Have any questions or doubts, ask away in the comments and there will be sufficient advice on how best you can run with it.

Wear your thinking caps and trust your perspective on the prompts and go with the flow!

There are JUST two guidelines that must go into every blog post:

  • Copy paste this line at the end/top of every post:  “This post is part of the January blogathon hosted by #kowthas and today’s prompt is “________________” linked here https://kowthas.me/_______ (This will be the URL of that day’s post)
  • When you tweet or share your post, please use the hashtag:
    • #kowthas #DailyChatter

That’s it! YAY!

Ready? Set? ..you have 6 days to relax, think, strategize before we head off our blogathon on January 1st 2016. Good luck and happy writing!
