How To Sign Up for the October Blog Challenge (OM&BBC)

9/24/2012

19 Comments

 
First read about the OM&BBC. Then, check if your name is already on the participants list to the right. If it is, and you are participating, great!

If it isn't, and you want to participate, please sign up by clicking on "Add Comment" right under this short post. Type your name (as you wish us to know you) and your full blog URL in the comment box.
Example:
Jane Ann McLachlan
http://janeannmclachlan.com/october-memoir-and-backstory-blog-challenge.html

I will transfer your name to the list on the right, and link it to your blogsite, so we can all blog hop to each other's site when the challenge begins.

If I have added anyone's name who doesn't want to be in, please let me know in a comment, and I'll delete your name. I've tried to only add those who said they were definitely in, but mistakes happen.

I'm looking forward to seeing your October Challenge blogs!!

I'm in! Just in the act of thinking about this challenge, a lot of memories are surfacing. Going back to ages 1-25 will be a stretch for me--unless I'm reaching the stage where my *earlier* memories are more vivid than what happened yesterday. I'm missing a couple of years, but maybe something will bubble up yet. If not, I may be doomed to failure, but I'm looking forward to this challenge. What a great idea, Jane Ann!

That's great, Gerry!
I'm sure you'll be inspired by the others' blogs to fill in those rough patches!

Arg!! Did I not sign up properly?? I won't be putting my early years - frankly, that only is shared wiht hubby and a good therapist! However, I do have plenty of "firsts" and "seconds" etc that can be shared throughout the month!

That's fine, T.J. Glad you're doing it. Whatever you share and however you post it that works for you is great. Check out the others who are participating - some are doing all fiction, some characters' backstory, some poetry, some mostly photos, one is doing loves, another songs for each year - frankly, the variety and creativity delights me!

Just found out about this today so I have a little catching up to do but I'm sure I can manage. I just need to prioritize.
