Deja Vu Blogfest 2014
In 2011 and 2012 DL Hammons used
a rather unique Blogfest to help him readjust to blogging after the turmoil of WRiTE
CLUB, so he think it's time to resurrect it again. He recruited me to help
coordinate things, and I'm so happy to do so!
Want to know one of our pet peeves about the way
our blogosphere operates? You can miss some really awesome posts if you
need to be away for a while and unable to keep up with your favorite
blogs. While busy writing and editing and marketing, and while WRiTE CLUB
was going on for DL, we’ve probably missed hundreds of quality posts.
Anybody who participated in the A to Z Challenge
in April certainly missed some truly outstanding posts because of the
impossibility of trying to keep up while writing a post a day. It’s
really hard to rebound when things get like that, so what we've both resorted
to is simply picking up with everybody’s latest post. You know what that
means? A post about the signing of an agent…missed! A book contract
finalized…missed! A cry for help..missed! A birth
announcement…missed! Some other special event in a bloggers life…gone!
It’s for this reason in 2011& 2012 DL hosted the Déjà vu
Blogfest, and before that it was the BLOG RECYCLE STATION. Well, we’ve
decided to turn this blogfest into an annual event. So we’d like to
announce…
On December 19th, anyone who decides to take part
will re-post their favorite blog offering from earlier in the year, or
one that you believe failed to receive the exposure it deserved. So please
sign-up to participate with Mr. Linky below, then shout out to all of your
blogging friends and encourage them to sign up as well. Take the badge
above and plaster it everywhere, blogging graffiti gone wild. Tweet about it
(#dejavu2014) and post the picture on Instagram. Then on December 19th as the
day unfolds and everyone hops from one blog to another, what they will be reading
is the best of the best (as determined by you) from this 2014. The
blogosphere will be chock full 2014 writing brilliance! Encouragement,
enlightenment, knowledge, bared souls, stimulation, hilarity, insecurities,
success stories! All on display…the very same day. And it couldn't
be any easier to take part...no writing necessary!
Sign up on the Linky Tool below and start looking through those old
posts!

Aw, thanks for sharing this. I participated the other times. Not sure if I can this time. The posting date is on my 2nd son's 18th birthday. I feel as though I should do something special for him.
I just saw that! Might sign up. Need to check my posts.
