I’ve now completed #blogtober17. I’m so chuffed I managed to publish a post a day in October on themes given to us by Mandi @hexmum

I’ve never written so regularly on my blog and I even wrote a few posts in advance and scheduled them so I wouldn’t miss a day. I know real bloggers do this but it was new to me! I really enjoyed the challenge, the creativity it inspired and being taken out of my comfort zone by the topics, some posts I really enjoyed writing whilst others were tougher. The prompts on social media also made me realise that I need to do a bit of homework on the etiquette and tools of these mediums. The challenge also introduced me to some new bloggers and this was a real highlight of the project.
I am now looking for a new blog challenge, I’m pondering a 12 days of Christmas theme, the A – Z of my life etc… @bucketsoftea has written a great post on ideas too https://bucketsoftea.co.uk/blogging/25-blog-post-ideas-for-lifestyle-bloggers/
I would like to thank Mandi for a great project and all her hard work in creating and driving #blogtober17. Same time, same place next year?
I loved it too! Writing every day was a huge challenge for me, but I feel that it taught me a lot.
Blogtober is a big undertaking (I’ve only ever done it on my book blog – without prompts) so congratulations on completing it. It sounds like you got a lot out of the challenge also.
Thank you 😊 it’s nice this month not to have the intense focus but I’m definitely writing more and thinking of new ideas x
