Believe it or not, my life is more than just boys.
I'm also a nationally-published freelance writer and an active member of Freelance Success, an online community of professional writers. We're a pretty helpful group, sharing everything from editor tips to how-to's. So when one writer suggested a May Blogathon to increase our blogging skills and drive traffic to our blogs, I signed on.
Here's how it works: each blogger who is part of the Blogathon commits to posting daily for the entire month of May. The blog topics vary -- there's travel, self-employment, writing, parenting and food, among others -- but since the authors are all professional writers, I can personally guarantee a high level of writing at each and every blog.
The complete list of participants is below. I encourage you to stop by and say hi!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea, I have already had fun looking around at some of these blogs! Good luck with the everyday thing, although you are pretty good at that already!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI'm joining in on the Blogathon. I participated last year and had a great time getting into the habit of posting regularly. The best part, though, was getting to read new blogs.
Looking forward to checking in here.
All my best,
Jackie
Hi Jennifer. I'm blogging along with you this month. My topic: raising kids in a digital world. While I only have two boys, 10 and 5, and a girl in the middle, I'm looking forward to your insights on boys. Happy blogging!
