August Group Writing Project
It’s been a really long time—a MamaBlogga Group Writing Project is way overdue. Starting in on your suggestions (with more topics to come from your comments soon!), the theme for the August Group Writing Project is “Before I was a mom.”
As always, feel free to go in any direction that appeals to you. Even if you don’t choose to participate, you can encourage others to participate!
- Your post can take any form as long as it reflects this theme—this includes anything from serious to sarcastic, about your children, your future children, your pet, etc.
- You can participate with a blog post, a podcast, a video, a page on your website, etc., etc. If you don’t have a website, contact me and I’ll be happy to publish your entry here on MamaBlogga.
- Only NEW posts (i.e., posts have not been published prior to 10 August 2009) are eligible. Posts must be submitted through the submission form before Monday, 17 August 2009.
Why participate?
There are lots of reasons to participate! All entries that meet the guidelines will be listed and linked to here on MamaBlogga. This an opportunity for you to discover new blogs (and for others to discover yours!). Also, see how you can get the most out of the GWP.
And, of course, there is one more incentive: one lucky post author, drawn at random, will receive a $30 gift certificate to Amazon.com (to be announced Monday, 17 August 2009).
Finally, we’d appreciate it if you linked to this post or to the guidelines/submission form on your entry post so that others can learn about the project and participate.
Get the badge!
