calendar 3Happy New Year Catholic writers!

Here’s a few months of writing prompts for you bloggers. It’s amazing how many months-of-something have been declared by everyone from our bishops to self-promoting speakers to your local Economic Development committee. It’s possible for any of us to get together and claim this is the month to think, write, talk about whatever subject we choose (and, perhaps, we should do that!).

I’ve picked a few monthly themes that seem to have a substantiality and wide-affirmation my own whims would lack. Catholic writers can find a way ‘in’ to any subject – and that, we certainly should be doing!

Let me know what you write for the world’s ‘editorial calendar’. Send the link to your favorite blog post by the third Monday of the month for the Member Round-ups. (Yep, that just changed from first to third!)

  2. Thanks for the tips. This looks like fun. Might even work in a book review on one of these topics. But don’t be surprised if I send my blog ‘o the month at the END of the month it’s posted. Good habits are hard to break. Thanks for all you do for CWG.
