    These photos you posted are amazing. I’d love to know how you create these effects if you want to share but I can understand if you don’t want to. By the way, thank you for sharing this article, it’s really great.

    Wow Tracie! Great article. Although most of these probably won’t be applicable for the type of blog I work on, I did find a gem that I could definitely use in the future!

    “What are your favorite blogs or podcasts this month? Share a short list and help us all discover some new friends.”

    I think that this little prompt is actually quite amazing, as it allows the author(s) of a blog to really connect with their audience and get to understand what is it that they like reading about! This makes the reader feel more welcome and appreciated, as you’re asking for their opinion.. and it also makes it so you can improve your content and tailor it accordingly (if there are any noticeable changes that readers really want)!

    Best of all, this prompt can be used for just about all types of blogs!

    Thanks Tracie for sharing. 🙂

    There’s tons of things to write about not just in October, but any month of the year. This is the beauty of the internet. Writing away to your heart’s content and using it as a side hustle to generate a full-time income for yourself. 🙂

  5. Tedi says

    Great prompts. One that you mentioned is breast cancer awareness month. It is also pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. I’m sure there are lots of women who have had a miscarriage before and it’s a great topic that not very many women are open to talking about.

  9. Lauren Monsey-Nagel says

    Thank you for sharing this list. I see several that I can get some motivation from right now. I am going to start brainstorming on them and hopefully get in gear. I love #sitsgirls.

  10. Michelle @ Vitamin Sunshine says

    Love looking back at these lists all month whenever I sit down and nothing comes to mind. I don’t necessarily stick to the days, but usually looking it over gets me writing pretty quickly! Thanks.

  12. Sam @ PancakeWarriors says

    This is such a great idea! Love the 10 things that make you smile. Just reading that made me smile and I’m just a little bit happier now 🙂 I’ll be keeping this in my back pocket in case I get stumped for a post!
