Some of the Blogathon Writers I’m Enjoying

Theme Song: “Roll Away Your Stone” Mumford & Sons

This month, I’m participating in the Word Count Blogthon. The purpose of the Blogathon is to post every day – and that requires careful planning. There are many talented participants in the challenge.  The great thing is that there are so many people with so many different viewpoints who are participating in the challenge. It’s interesting to see all the different things people come up with to write about.

  • Lisa at Land Guppy Productions has written about ten things learned at the ballpark while watching the Mariners. I have to agree with her assessment of sponsorship in baseball – I noticed the last time I went to see a local team play that everything was sponsored. It was very strange.
  • Kirstin at Running for Autism wrote a post on remembering the things that matter. It’s really good to remember those things that are important to us. After all, they are what make life worth living. She’s also a runner-which is exciting for me, because it’s great to feel motivated by reading someone else who enjoys running for charity causes.
  • Van Waffle at Speed River Journal has been writing about the natural in the everyday spaces. His post today was an ode to an office window. It’s so important to consider the way our work spaces make us feel when we’re in them.
  • Jodi at How to Write Better, Faster gave some great tips for sandwiching bad news. I mean, who likes to deliver the icky stuff to others? Rather than delivering bad news all in one chunk, she suggests that such communication should be handled in a delicate manner.

These are only four of the participants (there are over 200), and there are many other great blogs going on, so I don’t want to leave them out. These are just four of the posts that have stuck with me recently. If you’re participating, who are you enjoying? If you’re not, check out the roll of participants at Word Count and read some of these blogs!
