When Timothy redesigned the BryonySeries website, he overhauled the events calendar and provided a space for me to add an event for every day of every month.
I balked at first. How would I host an event for each day? I had three objections: no time, no money, little interest (who cares about a daily BryonySeries event)?
Well, he knew that, of course. But together, we developed a way to accomplish it - and it's been just perfect for 2020.
Now September was so full of family emergencies, I never did get the September calendar completed. October was shaping up to be more of the same and then it finally tapered off.
So I completed the October BryonySeries calendar on Tuesday.
The great thing about these events is that you can do most of these posted anytime during the month.
And because most of these events link to the websites of other people, if you still can't get to an activity, bookmark it for later.
All of the activities tie back into one or more of the BryonySeries books. Most have appeal for all ages. And most of them promote the websites and activities of other people, thus introducing my readers and followers to others who share the same interests - which will, hopefully, increase THEIR following, too.
Here are the first fifteen events of the month as examples of what you will find the rest of the days. And feel free to take a peek through Oct. 31 - the events are all there (well, except the November dates. I'm still working on those).
Confusing? Go the calendar yourself and you will see what I mean.
To access the calendar, visit bryonyseries.com/calendar-of-events and then hover over your date of choice. The activity will appear - like magic! (wink).
Here's what I posted on the first fifteen days:
