February 30 Is Always a Special Day for Me (Saturday Writing Essential)

Yes, I actually said that because... I’m dumb.

I have a template I use for my SatWE challenges and, each week, I open that template, add seven days to the last one and come up with...

Yep, I actually set up a challenge for February 30 because I wasn’t thinking. Um, that seems to happen a lot, but I finally recovered and realized this is the first Saturday of March.

That means we’re going to write about the month of March, any holidays in this month, or anything that happened to you in this month.

 

This Week’s Challenge:

Use prose or poetry to write about the month of March, any holiday in the month, or anything that might have happened to you in this month. If you can match the stupidity that I displayed in the introduction, please include it. I’d hate to think I’m the only dumb person on Gather.

 

Ideas:

My older daughter was born this month and I have a story about that. Hmm, that isn’t really an idea for you, is it? But, it might give you an idea about someone you know who was born this month.

Once again I’ll offer a link to one of those sites that lists weird holidays for the month of  March. It lists many things that can supply some inspiration for a story.

 

Watch Out For:

Whatever you write, make sure it has something to do with the month of March.

 

Recap:

The following submissions are exactly what I was hoping to read because you did everything I asked of you. If you haven’t read these, I’d ask that you pay these writers the courtesy of looking at them.
