Monday Mojo – What’s In A Name, Your Name That Is!

Posted on 16th April, by Kathleen in Monday Mojo. No Comments

Another Monday has arrived, and with it, most of us struggle to get that first post of the week up and going. Monday Mojo is here to help. Our weekly writing prompt is designed to give you a quick and easy idea to help spark that first weekly post and get your mojo going!

This week’s topic is: Write about your first name—why you were given it, what stories are attached to it, what does it mean? Were you named after a family member? Did your parents try to get creative? Whatever the reason behind your name, we want to hear it!

You have the whole week to link up. After you have posted be sure to stop by our friendly blogger forums and check out what’s new there. Have fun!

Monday Mojo Master Topic List

If you have visited over the past few months, you may have noticed our weekly writing prompt meme called Monday Mojo.  Its entire purpose is just to help inspire you to get that first post of the week up.  We have shared topics that are serious and silly and sometimes useful, but unfortunately, we don’t get a lot of people joining. *sad panda face*  In order to improve our Monday Mojo, we thought it would be helpful to future participants if we posted the topic schedule.   Now, if you are super organized (not me!) then you can schedule your posts ahead of time.  Monday posts have never been easier!

Writing Prompt List

April 16:  Write about your first name—why you were given it, what stories are attached to it, what does it mean?

April 23:  True or False?  Write two short stories (paragraph …
