It Is Time To Fall Back Into Blogging! Challenge Day 1

Sep 24, 2012 By

The moment you’ve been waiting for is here! As we mentioned last week, we’re kicking off our Fall Back Into Blogging series here on The SITS Girls. We hope to challenge your creativity and help you find your blogging groove if you got off track during the summer.

Not that we’d know what that’s like *cough cough.*

Day 1 Writing Prompt:

Whether you have kids or not, we’re sure you have a great school story that you haven’t shared. It might be a teacher who inspired you, a disastrously funny moment, or getting your first kiss by the lockers before 4th period Geometry class – we want to read your best school memory.

If you aren’t used to writing from a prompt, don’t be intimidated. Even though the topic is school, it isn’t a school assignment (we leave those for the kids). Think of it as a jumping off point. Take our idea and make it your own!

We can’t wait to read your words, or see your pictures (we’re sure your high school hairstyle choices were much better than ours).

Link Up Your Post

Leave the link to your post below. Once you have done that, visit two blogs linked in front of you, and leave them a comment.



Day 2 Sneak Peek

Tomorrow we have a photo prompt for you. We want to see a picture of what fall looks like in your neck of the woods. Or a picture that means “fall” to you.

And be sure that you are on our email distribution list for our Back to Blogging Challenge! Our sign up form is here.

P.S. Don’t forget! Three lucky winners will be randomly chosen from the bloggers who link up a post this week to win one of three $25 gift cards to Starbucks.

    This post took on a life of it’s own, so I am so glad for the prompt. Perhaps it will make others aware of their words and actions.

    Thanks for the prompt. I never would have written it if you hadn’t pointed me in the right direction. It actually started one way, and ended another. But that’s okay.

    Can’t wait to check out the others!

    Linked up. Excited. Wednesday could turn out good or bad, as my son is having surgery. Bad because I could be distracted. Good because there’ll be a lot of time sitting around.

    Happy Fall Y’all.

    What a terrific prompt! Like some others, I started down one path and ended up in a completely different place. I look forward to reading what others have to say.
    Although I have seen your badge around the internet, I found you via my friend, Fierce Diva, who was your featured blogger last week.
    I love that you are family friendly! Not every large group that serves women bloggers is.

    [...] 36 Replies Fall is my absolute favorite season of the year. The day before the official beginning of Fall, it rained all day. The next day, the weather was about 10 degrees cooler. What a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, it was short lived and the temperature climbed back up to the high eighties, but is still cooler overall. I love Fall because it typically signifies cooler weather, leaves turning beautiful colors and falling from the trees. It represents harvest time and is the opening act for the Christmas season. In the part of Florida where I live, many of the trees are Evergreen trees. Some are different shades of green but none the less, green.There are a few trees that actually change to beautiful hues of orange, reds and browns, but they are few and far between. This is what Fall looks like in my neck of the woods. The picture below is my fantasy of Fall. I would love to visit a place with trees as colorful and beautiful as these. Regardless of the look of Fall, the feeling of the season to me is fabulous! Fabulous Fall! What does Fall look like in your area? What is your fantasy of Fall?
