MamaBlogga Group Writing Project

The May MamaBlogga Group Writing Project has concluded. See the Project Finale for a list of all entries and the winner, and subscribe to MamaBlogga to find out about the next group writing project!

As promised, this week is the MamaBlogga Group Writing Project! The theme for the Group Writing Project is “Dear Children.” Your post can take any form as long as it reflects this theme—this includes anything from serious to sarcastic, addressed to your children, your future children, your neighbors’ kids, your pets, etc.

You can participate with a blog post, a podcast, a video, a page on your website, etc., etc. If you don’t have a website, contact me and I’ll be happy to publish your entry here on MamaBlogga.

Only NEW posts (i.e., posts have not been published prior to 27 May 2007) are elligible. Posts must be submitted through the submission form before Friday, 1 June 2007.

Why participate?
There are lots of reasons to participate! All entries that meet the guidelines will be listed and linked to here on MamaBlogga. This an opportunity for you to discover new blogs (and for others to discover yours!). As Darren Rowse of ProBlogger put it at the beginning of their last group writing project, you can get the most out of a group writing project when you:

  • Read the submissions of others
  • Make friends with those you like the submissions of (comment, email – get to know them)
  • Link up to those who you resonate with (some bloggers write a top 5 or 10 list each day of the submissions that they like the best)
  • Bookmark, Stumble and Vote for those you resonate with

Oh, and there is one more incentive: one lucky post author, drawn at random, will receive a $30 gift certificate to Amazon.com.

Finally, we’d appreciate it if you linked to this post or to the guidelines/submission form on your “Dear Children” post so that others can learn about the project and participate.

Now get writing!
