We have attempted to break down August into 5 roughly equal periods of time instead of your traditional Sunday – Saturday weeks for the themes this year. Now, participants may interpret these themes any way that they like, but as someone who’s done this a few times now, I know I sometimes struggle to come up with a fresh spin on each of these themes.

So, without further ado, onto the prompts! Week One – Welcome to Blaugust Week August 1st – August 6th
