blogtober challendge

October is #blogtober and the #Write31Days challenge! But what is Blog-tober?

My hopes for Blog-tober is to allow an intentional time to challenge each other to write, share, and connect more. I promised myself that I would blog more in 2015 and connect with more people within the online community. Although my family has had a lot of changes this year to write about, I have not done a very good job of sharing them with you. In October, I wanted to be intentional about this goal. Also, #Write31Days is a challenge all over the blogging space that gets people writing!

I got this idea and many of my writing prompts from the Brave Love blog. Seriously, this girl can write regardless of the season that she is in. I know that it is not about writing words on the screen, but I truly believe that writing is a gift from God that I am not utilizing at its fullest potential. God has allowed me to experience so much to help share His story, but I have to put His story in words to share it to others. Brave Love is truly sharing her story well.

By writing every day, I expect to get more in a routine of just writing more. It is kind of like going to the gym. If I don't go to the gym one day, it is okay. However a week of not going to the gym... well, I may not go back for a month. If I lose traction in a season, it may not be meant to be... but I need to return back to blogging regularly, just like I need to get myself into the gym more. (wink)

The Blog-tober Challenge is a daily link up that will begin October 1st. I provided a prompt for every day below for the upcoming month. Each day there will be a link up with everyone participating and you can connect your blog to share as well! I wanted to give you a sneak peak of what I am planning on sharing so that you can plan ahead if you need to!
