Writing Prompts and Editorial Calendar for December, 2015

Sharing is caring!

Writing Prompts Editorial Calendar Dec

We all need a little inspiration.  Sometimes we find ourselves stuck and don’t know what to write about.  You’ve been on this perpetual wheel with sponsored posts and you just don’t know what to write about that isn’t about a toy or your dog or a hotel that you stayed at.  Last month I put together a list of writing prompts for Travel Writers and it was well received. I wanted to focus this months Editorial Calendar or Writing Prompts on the Giving season and holiday traditions that you hold near and dear.  So I hope this is helpful to you.  Make sure and come back and tell me if you managed to write a post on some of these topics and be sure and leave a link to your post.
