Hey!! I'm willing to run February's blog chain if anyone is willing to participate.

I haven't come up with an idea for the month yet so if anyone has suggestions we can vote before February starts.

February 2015 Blog Chain
Starting Date: Monday, February 9, 2015
Open to all forum members, even after it starts!

This month's prompt: Valentine's Day Theme

Instructions:
Simply post your blog's URL in this thread to join. I'll let you know in this thread when it's your turn. Once your turn comes up, you have two days to complete a blog post using the prompt. When you are finished, please add a link to your post on the thread.

If you signed up but find yourself unable to participate or need to be moved around in the schedule, please PM me or post in the thread. If you fail to post on your blog and on the thread within two days, I'll bump you down to the end of the line on the third day; you'll get a second chance at the end of the month.

Each post should be less than 1000 words if possible. Read and comment on other participants' posts if you possibly can--they'll be doing the same for you! Please include a list of all participants' blogs (not necessarily their actual posts for the month) in your blog post.

Participants:

I feel ridiculous asking, but what is a blog hop? I'm new to blogging and still learning the lingo.

It's where bloggers take a common theme and write about it. At least in this case.
Like if the next month's prompt is to write about Valentines day.

Each participant would write something following that prompt in their own writing style. Fiction, non-fiction, poem, sci-fic, just a short blog under 1000 words.

Then we all go visit each others' blogs. :)

Let me know if you have any other questions.

If you go to my blog (link below) I have a tab titled "Absolute Write" that is where I have all of my past participation.

I'll update the main post when I am not at work..

Interesting ... I wish you all the best and if you have a military based topic I'll make for sure lots of people will no about it. A site I work with get's two million page views a day soooo things of that nature will diffidently get noticed.

Okay, February is almost here. We have a good start of participants. Thank you everyone!! I will try to be her more often than I have been.

We had two suggestions:
Unreliable Narrators and a Valentines Day theme

I am hoping to start the chain on the 5th of February and get us all started. As we go if more people join I'll add them to the list.

To everyone who is participating: Thank you!! I am glad to see this coming back. I have always enjoyed the community built around the blog chain and hope to see it come back and grow some more this year.

Any rules next to Valentine's Day?
Does it have to do something with fiction, etc. or are we completely free?

As long as it has something thing to do with Valentine's Day it can be how you want it.
Poem, fiction, non-fiction...
Write how it fits your blog. Just as long as it is no more than 1,000 words.
:D

It was my gf's birthday and we were out. So, I couldn't post it today. It's now 20.30PM in the UK and we are going to bed. Tomorrow morning I have a date with my embassy in the morning and will be back at noon and then post the blog in the next few hours, should be up in the afternoon, if that's ok :)
