A September to Remember

If I thought my blog presence was lacking last summer, I need look no further than at the posts from this summer (all 8 of them) to confirm that things are more than a little scarce around here. 

So here it is: my September blogging challenge! I vow to (try) to post every day in September; and w/ topics like the ones outlined below, how can I miss? As you can tell, they are very serious and well-thought out, so you’re in for some real solid reading. Feel free to join in when your own writers block hits; just use the hashtag #babblingbridgeseptembertoremember so I can see all the great posts! 

Wait, that’s not how blogging works? Five years in, you’d think I’d know something about this hobby of mine. 

If the topics aren't applicable (like you're not turning 30 in October), feel free to take some artistic liberties w/ the post that day. You know what they say about blogging: any post is better than no post. Said no real blogger, ever.
