I figured I would get a head start on planning for October blog posts by coming up with ideas for that month.
I’ve noticed that I procrastinate when I don’t plan far ahead in advance which results in me being more behind than I liked to be and I end up lacking consistency on updating my blog. Today I figured I’d stop myself before I even begin and come up with some awesome October blog post ideas that not only I can use, but other bloggers can use too.
Now let’s jump into it!
It’s a lot of things happening in October!

So many great and beautiful blog posting ideas and if I am going to make a blog post I think I am going to share an awareness about the health and the environment.Thanks for sharing this with us!
Super awesome list, I LOVE IT!!! I am thinking maybe Family reunion day, that would be a good and interesting read i think.
I am planning to write a piece about breast cancer. My mother lost her battle with the disease last February. It is so heartbreaking to see my mom suffer like she did. I am going to pour my heart out because I am still hurting over the loss and I think I forever will.
To make a living doing what you love, writing about things you know about, is a blessing. I love every day of my blogging life and, although it can be overwhelming with the things on my list and limited 24 hour days, I am still considering it a life-time-adventure.
WOW! there are a ton of ideas here, thanks! Blogging can be challenging at times, especially when you’re trying to come up with ideas to write about during a busy week of work and family and sports! You have many great ideas to help fellow bloggers out ; )
