Today marks the first day of blogmas, as well as the first one I have partaken in! I have had so much fun preparing for this day, delving into decorating, baking, and Holiday trips! I am so excited to participate this year. But, I also learned a lot! I kind of wish I had started my blog earlier, because I had so much difficultly starting out, but sitting down and writing out 25 blog ideas and then being able to write 5 drafts in a day, made me realize this is the kind of planning I need to be doing all year.
If you are thinking of doing blogmas, I want to tell you coming up with 25 ideas for 25 days, writing out each blog and adding media in the form of edited videos and photographs, it takes a lot of time. You could write one every day starting from December 1st to the 25th, if you do then you are a trooper and I commend you on the ability. But, if you are like me and would find that impossible, my main piece of advice would be to start getting your blog topics figured out in mid-October and start writing your drafts in early November. This year I had 11 drafts written by November 10th. With photos and additional media going through the editing process.
If you have any upcoming events during the month of December that you want to write about remember to leave those spots open, as well as sometime to write it. I knew the majority of my posts wold be in reference to decorating, traditions, baking, and activities which made it easy to prepare for those as I tend to stick to traditions. So, all of these are things I would be able to write up in advance and just make modifications later on to include additional details specific to my new experiences this year.
I am so excited to finally be getting these posts up and start this journey with you! I have had so much fun with it so far. Thank you so much for reading, I hope you have an amazing Holiday season and Happy blogmas!
