30 Days of Idea Starters for Writers - Calendar Days - June's Crazy Holidays & Special Occasions

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson


It’s time again for Calendar Days. These are just fun to read. They’re also a great way to jumpstart our creativity when looking for ideas for articles and blog posts. They’re also a fun writing prompt idea. 

In addition, calendar days are great conversation starters for social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, especially when two contrasting holidays fall on the same date. Here are some that tickled my funny bone this month:

June 1 is National Running Day and National Barefoot Day. June 8 is National Best Friends Day and National Pick Your Poison Day. June 16 is National Fudge Day and Eat Your Veggies Day - maybe we should have chocolate declared a vegetable. Finally June 20 is World Productivity Day and Finally Summer Day

  1. June 1 is national running day and national barefoot day. I don't think I'd want to combine those two.
